Such a strong urge to have another baby? Help!

We have one DS, 13m, handful, rascal, nightmare promised myself I’d never do it again. Had an awful pregnancy and the first maybe 10 months was so tough on me. He was so needy bless him, I think they call it a high needs baby? Early mover, so much energy.

Partner and I agreed we categorically couldn’t do this again and we’re happy with the one. I’ve just turned 35 so I’m not a spring chicken either.

A few nights ago though I had a dream where I was giving birth again and it was so vivid as the baby’s head was emerging and oh my god, since then I can’t get the fact that I want another child out of my head. We don’t have the money or resources either. Just feel like I’m going mad.

Has anyone else felt this? I don’t know if it’s a sign from the universe or just the normal flow of hormones and is completely predictable at around this time.

Yeah I had this too. Like you had a very high needs child and to be honest has only just settled down at age 10 (sorry if that freaks you out 😂 but it’s the truth). It’s normal apparently. I chose a dog instead 😂 but each to their own . No way did I want to go through all that again.
