Having another?

So I don’t know if I want another child. There’s a few thing but I also feel mum guilt for not giving my daughter a sibling. I had HG during the better part of 7 month of my pregnancy and I’m scared of that happening again as it was treacherous. The lack of sleep. I’m finding it really tuff. Once I wake up give me 10 mins and crack on with the day, but it starting to take it’s toll almost 11 months in. I feel selfish and mum guilt for feeling like this. I look at my brother and they have 3 children and I just don’t know how people do it. 🤷‍♀️ very impressive! I think if I didn’t have hg and sleep was better I’d love to have another but I’m scared. Any advice? Thank you!

It’s defo hard 😞 but just remain postive and know not every pregnancy is the same. The next one could be 100x better !

Also just think of it as a race and the prize at the end is your baby 🤩

Theres no pressure to decide now. Allow yourself time to heal and regain a sense of what your life will look like, and then think about it. They say it can take 2 years for women to heal from pregnancy. You are less than a year in. Of course you are tired! Everything is changing. Give yourself time to enjoy this baby, and then see how you feel later. I know for myself, it will be a cpl years if we decide to have another. Next time around I will need more savings, more time off, and preferably this kid in school so I can nap. Pregnancy has wiped me out and I cant do it again without proper support.

I’m in the same boat! I’ve always wanted two kids but now idk newborn stages sucked for me 🫠 my daughter a decent sleeper now I’m nervous my second one will be worse
