Why can't I make a decision?

[Newmum26]

We have a DS who is 2.5 years old. He is everything we ever dreamed of, funny, kind, he sleeps well and always has done, he's a pretty easy child who fits in and is happy and content.
He is our world. I'm a Stay at home mum and he gets a lot of my time and is a bright and advanced for his age child due to the time we put to him. My husband works but gives a lot of time to our DS when he gets home from work playing and spending time with him.
We still haven't made a Decision on whether we want another child or not.
We always said we wanted two children but after having our DS we now say we are happy as we are but then I still don't know if I want him to be an only child and I would love to have a baby again.
I can't imagine going back to sleepless nights and a teething baby but Then that's not a reason not to have another?!
Has anyone else felt like this and how did you decide?
I know only I can make the choice but I would be grateful for anyone's input or similar feelings x

When I wanted children I really wanted two. I had my DD and when she was about 2 we started trying for another. It took us 3 years and 4 MCs to get our wish, we finally have a healthy DS.

I didn't want this age gap and I'm kind of sad (I worry 5 years might be too big for them to play together lots, until they're a bit older) but in reality it's been amazing because DD is in school so I'm alone with DS 6 hrs a day, which makes things with a baby so much easier.

So I guess what I'm saying is don't count your chickens you'll be able to have another one, if you do want one, really consider age gaps, and do what works for you and your partner best. Some people find a single child works perfectly, some people want a big family. You don't have to rush it.

Good luck for the future!

I just knew. Around 18 months after my first I got broody. Then I got pregnant a month after her second birthday. I loved my first 2.5 years with her. I definitely have less time for one on one. But she has a sibling she has great fun with now. My eldest is 4 and 10 months and my son's 2. They have a right laugh together now. I'm glad they have eachother.

Pregnant with my 2nd when DS was 9 months.
I didn't want DS to be an only child and realised if I didn't try now then once ds had grown and we were out of the baby stage there was a chance we wouldn't want to go back to it.
Unfortunately I developed and anxiety issues after my 2nd was born and life with a newborn and toddler on top of this was a huge challenge!
We got there though and am pleased that they are growing up 'together'.
We are getting through the 'stages' with 2 instead of 1. If you get my meaning
