hello all. Just read this great thread, start to finish in one go and it's toptastic. I feel a bit of a fraud posting on here as we are not yet actually TTC no. 2, but not far off. Please can I be in your gang anyway? It's not for want of nagging on my part but i've still got to get the bit of barbed wire removed from up my fanjo (great word, it is mine now ). That lovely event is booked for next month.
DD1 is 4 and was a fabulous accident, so i feel worried about the next one being harder to conceive. I had an easy pg and an okay birth and so am now scared of it all going wrong. DD is happy and healthy - am i tempting fate by trying for another??? A couple of my friends have had bad pg news recently and this has sent me plummeting. And are we mad to be signing up for the poverty that another 4 years of childcare brings, just as DD1 is due to start school and lighten the burden?
Despite all the above I am desperate for another child and have been for the last 2 years (haven't been trying, just wishing: we were too skint to have another very soon after first one). DH thinks i am just one giant hormone and he has given up hope of any rational discussion of whether TTC is a good idea.
Does anyone else have these worries or am I a hormonal, irrational doom-monger of the worst kind?
Scuse long thread (deep breath, slurp of wine, sits back to wait...)
