So I have a just turned 2 year old.. I lost my second baby last year on dd birthday. (premature)
I really feel content with one child, and I always envisioned a larger gap, like 4-5 years, but dh is now starting to be on my case, that he wants us to try for another, so at least the minimum gap (given his plans) will be around 3 years or so.
Everyone else around me is having their second child close in age and telling me not to wait, as I might not conceive in the future etc and I'm doing an injustice to keep dd as an only. But I just don't want another child, I get broody about newborns and the fact I spent all day just cuddling dd, but I'm aware with a new baby, I won't get that same luxury as I will have dd1. But DH just wants another one.
I'm also basically a single mother in a marriage, so it's lucky for him to say that, when my daughter is quite indifferent to his presence.
Am I being unreasonable because technically it's a partnership so he gets a say too? Would I regret NOT having another?
