Will I ever have another baby?

Im a lone parent to a 13 month old. I never wanted children, and after the birth of my son(spent most of pregnancy in hospital, son was premature and emergency c-section) and generally it's hard day to day, I thought I'd be so put off. Now he's 13 months and getting to the toddler stage I really wonder whether I will get the chance to have another baby :( I'm only young. But can't see myself being in another relationship ..
not a question, but has anyone felt like this? Been through this?

I was 21 when I had my dd and was alone - she’s now 6
I went through the wanting another one stage ..: then didn’t want one, now I do want another and worry I won’t have one / meet someone to be able to have another child.
But I’ve found things for me now - new job, gaining my gcse that I failed when I was at school, attempting to get into uni - if a relationship happened and another child happened then Great, if not I can be a positive role model to my daughter :-)
You can’t plan the future, I’ve learnt that ha! Just go with it you never know what’s around the corner :-)
