Did you really wait until you were ready for no.2?

[Edenmum2]

I'm not sure I'm ready, in my heart I am but on days when my DD is poorly or doesn't sleep etc I have doubts about whether I could cope with another. She's my absolute light, i am so in love with her and I just want to make more - but I'm tired. It's just constant back and forth in my head.

I feel like I should just jump in - DD is 2 now, I've had miscarriages and I just turned 40, I don't have loads of time to play with. I was wondering if anybody really felt ready or did lots of you just jump in? And at what stage? Did it work out?

You never regret the kids you have just the ones you didnt… get trying now, im 38 snd been teying since feb and nothing yet, so it might take you longer.

im trying for number 5, defo not prepared and dread to think why im wanting to do it all again when my other 4 are all growing up (2 being adults) but I keep thinking I want to experience it all again and where im at now in life :-)

they soon grow up and sleep… non of mine slept until about aged 3! Worse sleepers ever but iv forgot how bad it was🤣

I wish I'd tried before now. I wanted a 3 year gap and was lucky I fell pregnant first try for a second but sadly had a MMC so it's been 6 months since I saw that first pregnancy test and wish I'd just went for it before rather than being scared of coping with a smaller gap.
