Ok this maybe long(ish)
I’ll try to cover everything, I’m a single mum by choice , ivf with sperm donor , 5yo dd.
She’s absolutely lovely, smart, everything you could want but the past 3 years she’s been like a polar bear with toothache on crack, extremely hard work, she is in the last term of reception, teachers and childminder love her, very well behaved there. She is desperate for a sibling, I’d love another child but scared of the sleepless nights, and everything else that comes with it due to being alone. My parents are supportive but have categorically stated they’re too old to be hands on with another one.
I’m nearly 42 snd have had a few issues myself lately with high blood pressure, a few too many pounds on etc, but a drs visit today and my bp is normal, just and I think I could overhaul myself fairly quickly with diet and exercise.
I have embryos in the freezer from my first ivf attempt, which was successful so it’s not like I’d be using 42 year old eggs.
I’m ok for money, not rich but secure home snd could definitely pay for some help, so wwyd?
I am silly to consider this? I think what if something was to happen to me in childbirth and I left my dd alone? I’m waffling now but I honestly don’t know what to do!!
