Before I had dd I expected I'd have two kids. However, I really struggled and have been adamant dd would be my only child. As it turns out I had an undiagnosed health problem (the main symptom being fatigue) which means I probably had a far worse time than I should have and now that I am better I would arguably find a baby easier this time round... Aside from the obvious that I'd have dd to deal with as well!
The last few months when dd has been having her free 15 hours I feel like a different person. I am a much better Mum for having a break from her. DP is still keen to have a second. I just don't know. But as dd will be at school from September 2019 any baby would likely arrive, all being well, around the same time.
Am I kidding myself to think it might be easier to have one in school when another comes along? I am 40 in a few months so it's very much now or never. I can't pretend to enjoy the baby stage but dd is at such a lovely age now maybe it's worth it...? Would love to hear your experience!
