Pregnant for 2nd time, not sure what to do...

so basically I have found out that I'm pregnant again,about a month, and currently have a 15 month old. I'm not sure how I feel about having another, if I want to, can handle it etc. Me and dh bicker quite a bit, but get on better when he is not on furlough. Our living situation is not ideal at the moment with just one child as we don't have the space, let alone with having another baby, and we have no real option of getting a bigger place due to lack of funds and not being in the area long enough to be able to go on the 'list'. I would love for my child to have a brother or sister, but at the same time like it just being her. My dh is rather complacent about it all, and says it will be fine with another child, how this is possible in a one bed is something I can't comprehend. I just really don't know what to do about it.

What kind of start will you be able to give your DD if you have another baby? Do you think it will seriously impact you financially/emotionally?

I know I will probably get crucified for saying this, but we can afford to have another baby, as we have everything left over from last time, lots of unisex clothes, toys, bath/cleaning aids, furniture etc, and the food/perishables are fine as its not a huge initial outlay. We just can't afford to move due to dh credit checks, as before he met me he was not good at keeping things up to date.

I think I would love the baby, I cant imagine it will be as much as my first though, I just don't know what to think or how to organise my thinking so its clearer.

Did you post about this the other day?
If not you, then it was someone with a similar dilemma and same age child.
