Hi! I gave birth to a beautiful little boy 5 months ago. I absolutely love and enjoy being a new mum despite the difficult yet rewarding challenges. Before I was pregnant, me and my partner always spoke about how we can't wait to be parents and to start our very own family. Like most people, we see ourselves having 1-2-3 or more children in the future. And 2 was always a common decision and wish. Now that we have our beautiful first child, I kind of brought it up with him that I would love to have another one in the near future so that our boy has a sibling to grow up with and won't be feeling alone or bored when it comes to play times or holidays. I had a very traumatic birth and my partner found the first few months very hard to get over it. So it was out of question for him and for me. But I have all forgotten about it. My partner finds parenting a little hard and struggles with certain tasks and it still doesn't come natural to him to make decisions like changing nappies, feeding etc. I am always the one who makes the decision but have told him to just do it whenever he thinks it needs done.
Now, my partner is all against having another baby. He's 42 and I am 30 so waiting for a few years is almost no option. I am heartbroken because this is what I really, really want. And there's nothing worse than being told absolutely not 😔 I don't know what to do.. this has really brought me down. And I am so sure that his mind won't change because he's having a hard time enjoying the new role to the fullest
