is anyone else ready for the second? I really feel like I am, but the main thing that puts me off is my parents/everybody else’s reactions. I had a traumatic birth and everybody is against me having another child. I know it’s none of their business but I feel judged. Does anybody else feel ready for another?!

Here 👋 ready to start trying ☺️ do what you feel is right for you if your dramatic birth didn't put YOU off than what has anyone else to say into that? 🤔

I’m pregnant with my second, everyone’s reaction was very dim this time, I feel with your first everyone’s excited and smothers you. Your second is a free for all and they go “crack on”.
If you decide to have another, who gives a fuck what they think, it’s your kid. I told my MIL that I want another cesarian (first one was emergency). She said I’m a cop out for not wanting a normal birth.
Bottom line is everyone’s got their own opinion, so do what you want. Have more kids because no one’s going to help you at 3am only yourself😂🙄

I’m currently pregnant with my third, always wanted my second and third to have a close age gap. I didn’t have a traumatic Labour, I didn’t know I was in Labour until they checked me and told me it was time to push 😂😂. Hoping for another quick Labour 🤞🏽

I also had a traumatic labour and never thought I wanted another but after things settled we decided we really did want another. We’ve now been trying since May 😊 I can’t be bothered with other’s negativity, if they have something to say they can keep it to themselves, it’s not them so their opinion is invalid. We’re getting married in 2 years so want to have the next one by then and for me to still have time to get my body to where I want it x

I want another 1 aswell 🤭. I want my little girl to have a sibling x x x

My boy was born 30th Dec and I’m 19 week’s pregnant. I’m really excited for them to grow up together with a close age gap. Albeit a little nervous as I know it’s not going to be easy 😬
Please don’t worry about what other people think it’s your life… if you want one and don’t you will regret it, if you have one you won’t regret it… go for it ❤️
FYI my mum constantly reminds me of how hard it is going to be and saying this one isn’t going to be like my current baby and that he’s going to get left out 🙄

I would also love another soon and I know my family will have ALL the comments about the age gap. Even though I'm married and my husband and I have great jobs, good house etc. They have it in their head that I'm struggling cause I live overseas and away from them. Yeah it's hard but it is my choice 🤷🏼
