Hi, my daughter is just over 3.5 and we are trying for another baby. My daughter has a speech disorder but is absoluitly gorgeous in every way. We all dote on her. She is also quite sensitive and I wonder how having another baby would effect her. I know she'll probubly regress, and that woun't be a good thing as she'll be starting primary school around that time. Sometimes I think it's the best decission for her and that she'll love having a sibling, then other times I know how hard it'll be for her and almost feel guilty about wanting another.
Is it possible to still give my daughter the same amount of love and attention she's used to after a new baby?
I'm taking Clomid at the moment to try to concieve and my husband has a lower than average sperm count, so I don't even know if it will happen. He's said that he'd be happy either way. If we can't have another one then we couldn't have a better child anyway. I agree with him.
I also worry that another baby wouldn't be as good as our daughter. She was so smiely and happy and such a caring little girl, I think the new baby would have a lot to live up to. If he or she was a bit grumpy or cold natured, I don't think I'd take to him or her as much. This wouldn't be fair on the baby.
What do you think ?
