Bit of a pointless thread really, but I am just so torn over this. My lo s nearly 3, and up untill recently I've had no desire for another. I'm only 28, so times on my side. But recently I've started to think about another baby. I want lo to have a sibling, but at the same time, I love spending all my time with him. He's at an age now where we can do things, go to theme parks and really have fun as a family. He's always been demanding so I worry how I'd split my time.
But, I don't know. When I think about it realistcally, it brings me out in a cold sweat thinking about being pregnant again. I was so sick with my first and felt awfull for 5 months. I can't imagine not being able to play or go out with lo for this amount of time.
Going through labour again also scares the crap out of me. My first was 9lb2 and arrived in under 2 hours which was horrendously painfully and traumatic.
Then there's the financial side. We just about get by at the moment. We're not poor, but there's never any money left. With another baby I worry how we'd cope.
My first was a difficult baby/ early toddler. Very demanding, cried a lot, didn't like being put down like ever! I feel I'm only just starting to really enjoy him now. I love him more then life itself. He's my everything and I cannot imagine
Loving another child as much.
Lo starts school in sept 2014, andi kind of thought it would be nice if I was off work for his first year of school. Well, if that's going to happen the we need to start ttc soon really. I just can't bring myself to come off the pill! My oh wants another so that's also not an issue.
Anyhow, like i said, pointless thread really. Just wanted to vent my feelings. How on earth do you take the plunge! Thanks for listening x
