I have one child, four years. Everyone around me has one or more or plans on having another. I don't like babies. Not massive on kids. I feel like we're getting our life back and going out without changing bags.
We can't really afford another, well
Not afford one and live the lifestyle we do anyway. But there's a feeling that makes me want another. My partner does want another but says we can't afford it and he feels it would mentally break him.
I feel like I'm going round in circles.

This was kind of how we were when 'trying' for our first. We wanted a baby, but was happy not having one and being able to afford to do nice thing, have 2 cars etc. We went for the 'well if it happens it happens' approach. We had a year of no propper contraception (we used condoms when my app said I was fertile) and waiting for an accident. This method worked too well so after a year we decided we did actually want a baby so activity started trying.
