One and done or one more??? Ahhhh

So I’m 40, almost 41. I’m so conflicted going back and forth and back and forth on having one or going for the second. I wish I was younger so I didn’t feel such a pressure to have to make that decision so quickly. I just had my first in May and I feel like I have to do it right away if I’m going to.
