One and done?

I have a cousin that was an only child and she also hated it. It terms as for the child I would say try for another however you do need to take your mental health into it. Baby no.2 would make things harder as you would have a toddler plus newborn. I do think your baby girl would like a sibling tho as from yourself and old children that I know, they all wish they had siblings xx

I really think you need to give yourself time to enjoy this stage.. I had my first boy almost 10 years ago... we waited 3 yrs for him, and no have his brother... of 4 months... it took us 9 years to have him. I know you said you hated being an only child but both my husband and I were only children and both will say that we loved it.. never had an issue with it. This time is to look after you. Having a baby is the single most hardest thing women go through and now is the time to repair and take things easy on yourself. You don't need any pressure about more babies... you never know it may just happen .. they say your more fertile after having the baby.. but seriously I would repair you and enjoy this baby.. in a blink of an eye they'll be 10 and give you that "i hate you look...with a load of cheek!" Xxx

I would say don’t be too fixated with having another one yet if you’re not mentally prepared. I was broody after first one but first year it took me a lot of mental health support to recover from anxiety and low mood. I had only my husband as a help n it still is the case this time around too. For me I was like if it’s meant to happen it will happen sort attitude and surprise surprise at 20 months I became pregnant. It’s hard having toddler and newborn because just when I thought my body was recovering it’s gone back to square one. Nonetheless I’m much more grateful n happier that I’ve been blessed with two which is exactly how I had envisioned my life few years ago. It all depends on your circumstances, how supportive your partner is n if they’re in the same page. I have two brothers, but that didn’t guarantee we would be close lol so in a sense I am alone… definitely listen to your body. Enjoy and learn from this experience, Gdluck for ur future self

They don't need to be really close in age to get on either, there's 3 years between myself and my older sister and another 3 between me and my younger brother. We get on so well so it's nothing you have to decide on for a while. Don't rush as you want to enjoy each baby stage of this baby xx

I always wanted 3/4 kids but I couldn’t ever of imagined how hard it was going to be how stressful pregnancy was, how hard having newborn was going to be but I think if you have the right support and it’s something you want do it when it feels right!
