Tempted to TTC#2, but shouldn’t...

DS is 6mo, and he’s so gorgeous and cuddly that I want another!

I’m off work until April as we’re abroad for a year with DH’s job, and I got promoted whilst on mat leave so am keen to go back and give the new role a good go. One DC is easier than two. I didn’t enjoy being pregnant, although was lucky to have a healthy and “easy” pregnancy.

But these are all “head” reasons... and I just want another one! Anyone else? Any advice on getting my emotions in check and making the right, rational choice?

I got pregnant when ds1 was 7 months. Was scary at first but i think for us it made much more sense to have them close together especially career wise - my work just carried on without me as before and when I do go back it will be for good rather than me likely going off after another year or two. Go for it if you both want to (sorry if you were looking for people to talk you out of it!).

I don't see any reason there why you shouldn't? Go for it.

Hopeful bump?
