Second baby?
Show your support
I always wanted at least 2 kids. I grew up with 2 siblings. But more than that, once I'd recovered from birth the first time and as much as I love my son I just felt like someone was missing from our family. Hard to explain. About to have our second child and feel like we are more complete as a family. I really think it's down to how you always imagined your life to be, preconditioning to a point and just about feeling. If you're questioning it now then continue to question til you reach an answer that feels right for you and your circumstances x
I always wanted a big family. I only had 1 sibling who I didn't really connect with so I wanted my children to have an opportunity to have each other.
The 20 year age gap 😩😩
I’m at 2 and done. I always knew I wanted a second baby after my first was born. #1 I didn’t want her growing up alone #2 my body started breaking down. I lost the whole right side of me repo system.. I knew it was time to shoot. Thank God I got preggo with my son and now 6 weeks pp. I feel full and complete even though it’s super hard work. I pray my kids know how much I love them.
My partner and I originally said 1 and done. Our first was born early and immediately taken to NICU for assessment for open heart surgery because of a heart defect. While the nurse and my partner were walking me to the toilet during recovery, I turned to my partner and said I want to do it again. We waited 3 years and had another girl. We met later in life and had our kids at an older age than all of peers. I didn't want my first to grow up along and have to deal with what happens when he parents pass away. I wanted her to have a forever friend. I hope our girls stay close for forever. I always wanted a sister and watching their bond is beautiful.
My first two are 18 months part, my second turned 2 in November last year which is when I fell pregnant with my third. Now they are older I feel lore in control than I did 18 months ago
That is understandable. For me, I was the only child and as a kid I was lonely and now as an adult I really feel lonely is this respect. I really wish I had siblings to share life with. I feel like I missed out on one of life greatest experiences. Yes I understand not everyone likes or gets along with their siblings but there is still some kind of bond usually. I really wanted at least one sibling for my child. I have been blessed with 2 beautiful babies.
