Would you have another child?

I love my daughter more than words could ever say but during the hard times I was definitely saying no I wouldn't do it again, even now we're having a particularly rough time with certain things and yesterday mid breakdown I said to my partner that I'm not cut out for it. I should mention I'm currently 27 weeks pregnant with our second! This pregnancy was a surprise and some days I feel absolutely terrified of doing it all again, other days I'm OK with it. I think deep down I know I'm capable of doing it, I do actually want to do it and it's just in the moment sometimes when I lose myself and worry I'm not good enough. I know there's gonna be lots more difficult times to come but when I think back now, I can barely remember the times I felt I couldn't do it with my first. I'm just winging it, always have done and will be even more now knowing each set back will get easier eventually! X

I struggled so much with the first, but I wanted her having a sibling, I felt like I owed it to her. Best decision ever. I'm finding it so much easier with two than when I had just the one and nothing beats watching them bond more and more every day 🥰❤

Absolutely i would have another soon, my partner wants to wait a few years though. My next i dont want to rush milestones as much, feel like my little boys grown up so fast!

I often have these thoughts my dream was always to be a mum and always thought I'd want 3 kids but I find the constant illness really bad on my anxiety and my thoughts run away with me, my daughter has been so unfortunate, she caught COVID at 3 months bronchiolitis and 5 months then croup at 8 months alongside ear infections, coughs and colds etc this is my main issue I worry about doing it all over again!! My main issue also if being able to afford another one! We live a reasonably comfortable life our wages just cover us for a month but adding another seems impossible, mh mortgage has gone up, gas and electric council tax, car insurance it's beyond a joke we just earn a smidge over the threshold for any help aswell this also upsets me feeling like sometimes the choice is taken away from me xxx

@Daisy is that including a second child (you still being slightly over the threshold) ? Because I found I got a lot more when the second was thrown into the mix. I'm so much better off now than when I had just the one. I work part time, partner works full time, but we are pretty much on minimum wage so we get help from UC. The child element was a big difference when it came to the second child. In case you didn't know, use a benefit calculator online and put in all your information, but as if you had 2 children, then see how things look 😊 Never say never xx

This is a conventional me and my husband are having. He wants another one but I'm unsure. I have health issues and a lot happened after having our little girl. Some days I find it really hard. I'm also worried about because I sleep with my little girl as she doesn't like being on her own and everytime I move she wakes up and cries, so I'd be worried about how much sleep she would get with me getting up and down feeding a newborn. But on the other hand I always worried about a child being lonely if there's only one of them and whether she would like to have a sibling to grow up with, sorry if this was a long reply x

I’m 99% certain I don’t want anymore, which shocks a lot of people especially my family but honestly we’re so happy just the 3 of us and our dog lol I still want to be able to live happily, have life for myself and all that stuff. I’m 30 next year and if I don’t have another soon (which I don’t want to) I personally don’t want to be having another child in my mid 30’s (when little one is at school is another option) I just don’t want to start all over again yano so yeah unless it just happens I’m pretty sure we’re done with the one 😊 xx
