To want a 2nd baby when I’m so happy with one .

[Ohpinkpants]

I have just had a baby and it is been the best experience. I’ve never been happier .
My little girl is 4 months and is as good as gold . I now want another baby- my partner has agreed.

However I know that I hated being pregnant
And my mental health suffered a lot , if we have another baby we would struggle financially , I will be a lot more tired , have less time to spend with partner. Am I silly to upset the Apple cart ?

I think logically it makes sense to just have one but all I can think of is that I want more babies . My husband is in his 50s so I know I have to get on with it if I want more . I can’t wait 3 years and then decide. ( I’m 32)

I think we could have a brilliant life with one child but I want more babies . Am I silly to push for another ?

Advice ?

I was pregnant again when my first born was 4 months. It was unplanned but the most amazing thing ever. If you don't wait to wait, do it now. I love my (very small) age gap.

How nice for you. My short age gap has been shit and my kids have never got on. People are different, news at 10.

I didn’t ask my DD if she wanted a sibling. Not her decision to make or have an opinion on. Children don’t have sufficient experience of life to be anything other than self centred! It’s adults that make decisions about a new life.
