Anyone with a December 2022 baby, not had another baby yet? Or are you considering another later

Everyone who I know who was pregnant with me around the same time, has already had their 2nd and some are even on their 3rd. Feel like am on my own with only one at the moment. And the pressure of ‘when are you going to have another one?’ Has started.

😨 girl you brave! I definitely couldn’t do another December baby with how expensive December is.

Congratulations though! Hope you have a safe delivery ! 🥲🧡

As it gets closer, the nerves are creeping in more! I’m excited to have him here! However we are definitely done once he’s here! We didn’t expect to fall pregnant as quickly as we did!

However you have to do what’s right for your family! Please don’t feel the pressure from anyone else! Xx

Not even close to being ready yet! Though the further away from those sleepless newborn nights I get the harder it is to imagine doing it again 😅

I still have just the one. My husband is keen for us to try for another baby next year and I’m slowly coming round to the idea. One of the things holding me back though is the fact I’ll be 37 in April, and also it took us 2.5 years to fall pregnant the first time. If that happens again, I’ll be pushing 40 and I’m really not keen for that!

I don’t think I’m ready to split myself between 2 babies just yet, I’m loving my one on one time.
Maybe in a few years

Due in February 😂 we actually wanted a closer age gap but had two losses early in the year and were trying since this one was 4 months old 🤯 not everyone wants another though so people need to hush hush about it. Literally days after we’d had our daughter the comments started and i literally just shut them down by saying we didn’t want another because I was sick of it 😂

aww congratulations that’s literally a 2 years gap! Hope everything goes well!

aww congratulations… hope everything goes well.

Haha i got asked within an hour of giving birth when i will have my next one 😂 didn’t even get a chance to properly let it sink in that I have a baby.

I had my 2nd baby in April 🤣 2 under 2 life isn’t as scary as it seems! Obviously you’ll be past the 2 under 2 stage if you did have another, but it’s amazing watching them grow together ☺️

We're only having one.
I think it's very rude when people comment on how many children others want/have. Someone actually told me I was being mean not giving my daughter a sibling
How do they know your individual circumstances? A friend of mine struggled for 5 years to conceive her 1st and needed fertility treatment. Now she's pregnant with her 2nd naturally (her 1st was born 6 months after my girl) and people are commenting about how it's such a small gap.
Can't please some people

Honestly don’t rush it if you don’t want and don’t let anyone put pressure on you. I just had my second 8 weeks ago and I know everyone handles things differently but it’s bloody hard work. Although I guess if you were to get pregnant soon then your toddler would be older and it may be easier

Still on my first, Ithink I’ll wait untill she’s in full time school so I can work full time and save 😂

Had baby number 2 5 weeks ago so currently in the 2 under 2 club. And this time round I had a C-Section……it’s been tough. But also amazing watching my eldest become a sister and how much she loves her little sister. We always knew we wanted 2 though. When we started trying again we thought it might take a couple of months (it didn’t, we fell pregnant within a couple of weeks) xx

My December 2022 baby was my second. He is 5 years 1 month younger than my first.

It was nice my eldest had started school in the September so I got to just focus on our second.

Downside was definitely going from completely out of baby stage to going back into it, but I wouldn’t change it!

Do what suits you and your family. I’ve just had baby no2 3 weeks ago🩷
