What made you want another baby?

[hogu]

I'm so torn.
All I wanted was my baby after trying for 20 years plus numerous ivf attempts etc so thought
I'd be done. But recently, now ds is 2.5 yrs I've been thinking about going again yet my heart feels like I'm cheating on my son!
How weird is that.
What made you try again?? And did you feel like me?

Nothing??!! 🙈🙈

As older parents with very distant families, we wanted to try for a second so our PFB would have a sibling. He now has two (6, 4, 2) and they're a great little tribe 😀

I was desperate for more babies because I love having children. I love being a mum. I'd have more if I could but my marriage won't survive a third baby I don't think.

Though lots of people on MN say "I wanted to give my child a sibling" which I think is totally the wrong reason to have more children!

I wanted DS to have a sibling. I felt that I was cheating him if I didn’t give him one. I’m the third of 4 chikdren though, siblings is all I know.

lol! X post with nc8765. Although I wanted DS to have a sibling, I also wanted a second child, possibly more than the first. I guess this is all bound up together.

I love my DS and I know I would love any siblings the same. He's added so much joy and laughter and purpose to our lives.

I adore being a mum.

I think siblings will enrich DS's life and they will hopefully support each other when older.

To me, a child is the greatest gift and if I'm blessed with another one or two I would be so grateful!

Wasn’t even a thought…just knowing that I wasn’t finished. Happened pretty quickly each time.

I felt a second child would complete our family. It has, and I’m so happy with my two little girls 💕
