Second baby

Is anyone else finding that they are really wanting another baby already after their first but worried about the small age gap and/ or going through pregnancy again so soon? Me and my husband both would love another baby to give our little boy a sibling but I had quite a difficult pregnancy so obviously I’m worried it’s too soon. I love my baby boy so much and although I’m trying to soak everything up with him I can’t get wanting another out of my head 😫 I don’t really know the point of this post is just wanted to know if anyone else feels the same 😂

Yes!!! My little one was born via c-section in September (6 weeks early). I’ve seen mixed info about waiting 12 months, 18 months and 24 months and I really don’t want to wait and want to try around the 12 month mark 🤣 although I’m worried about my body but also I think 12 months is an okay recovery time! I am stressing about it cause I want another so badly 😂 I want my little one to have siblings close together so they can be friends!

Personally, I have an 11 year old and my nearly 9 month old. I've reached my limit! My partner and I have both agreed that we really enjoy our sleep so to have any more would not be good for us! However, it took me 8 years after my first to decide that I needed to have another, so my advice would be to listen to your body and instincts because they are the real truth! Good luck with whatever you decide 😊

@Emma Louise omg I’m the same!! My baby was born in October and he was 7 weeks early, but I’ve heard quite a lot that if you’ve had a premature baby you should wait at least a year?? No idea if that’s accurate though, have you ever been told anything similar? ❤️

@Lucy Munns oh ive not heard anything about waiting a year due to premature baby! That’s interesting. I was planning on waiting the year mostly cause I need to go back to work to save for another maternity leave 😂 it’s tough getting such a rubbish pay 🤣 are you planning on trying at a year or waiting longer? Were you a c-section? I’m worried I will have difficulties conceiving cause I had an emergency section 🤦🏻‍♀️

Yes! I’d have another now if I could 😂 I was one and done after a really difficult birth but a couple of months later I did a 360 once I realised how much I loved being a mum. Me and my partner have agreed to try again once our baby turns 1 but I’m still breastfeeding and my period hasn’t returned yet so it could take a little while x

Yes!! I’m already trying! Fingers crossed this month is the one for me!

Yes I want another one to although I still Don’t have my period .. I really want them to grow together

I’d love another, but I dunno. I feel like personally I wouldn’t be able to spread myself so thin. I’m jealous of the women who make it look so effortless, but having one is hard enough for me

Yes!!! Ive been wanting another one as soon as i gave birth! 🤦🏻‍♀️but just like you, i dont want to go through that again, so im so torn. 😭

I had my first September 2022, second arrived September 2023 😂

I had my first in September she was 5 weeks early by c section and I've been wanting a second from the minute I had her. Im going to wait though the 12 months
