Second baby?

Anyone thinking about another baby if this has been your first? If yes, when? I’m up for it but naturally have reservations, mainly around not being able to give my LO all my attention. He’s 3 months now and I had a c section, so guidance is at least a year I think?

C section is 12 months - 18 months to wait. I had a natural very traumatic one with internal stitches and baby boy is now 3 months I have PPD and birth trauma and I already feel like I want another baby but wanna give my baby boy a year of just him especially when it’s gonna be his year of new milestones etc And also give my body time to heal as I still feel bruising from the internal stitches I had Xx

I’d love a 2nd baby in time as LO has only just turnt 3months but my mrs has made it clear if I want another baby I have to find another partner as I won’t be having another baby with her

We had to have ivf and you only get one round on nhs, so as soon as I can afford to go again🤣 we're hoping to start around January

No, but we always knew we only wanted one. Lots of the mums I've talked to say they will start trying at just over a year.

This was my second and they have an almost 4 year gap. I really wasn't ready to start trying for a second one before my first was 2.5-3 years old and became more independent, was potty trained, dropped naps etc. I can't imagine having two under 2, I wouldn't be able to cope. But we also have absolutely zero help with childcare from anyone, no family around, so for people with different circumstances, a smaller gap might be preferable.

We'd love a second child. I had an emergency c-section, they told me to wait 18-24 months before getting pregnant again x
