Posted here as it made sense (to me).
All the kid's mums in my son's nursery are either having their second or just had their second or TTC their second.
I went through a very troubled recovery with episiotomy stitches went almost 1.5 years with pain as NHS gynaecologists were just not serious. And then later went on to have silver nitrate burn and multiple steroid injections. And there was accompanying PPD. Also, I had my son during the height of pandemic lockdown so I didn't have any help at all (cooking, cleaning, washing,etc) apart from DH. The thing is I cannot do this to myself again although I would very much like another.
And then everyone keeps asking about the second but I don't want to explain this to everyone. I have made my mind up (although DH) does slip in here and there about another in 1-2 years time.
I'm not sure what I'm asking other than what someone would do.
