Okay so I’ve been saying to my partner that I can’t wait to have another baby and would have one tomorrow if we could. We are not in a great place financially so he has always said we need to wait until we are in a more stable place which I totally understand and am happy to do. Today, I came home from work and our son was saying ‘tiny brother’ and my partner kept asking him if he wanted a brother or a sister and he said ‘yeah!’ My partner then said ‘he makes the rules!’ I laughed and then he said he was serious. I’m now scared and wondering if it’s the right time?! 🤦🏼♀️😂 why am I scared all of a sudden when I’ve wanted it for ages!

Learn more about our guidelines.I'm 17 weeks pregnant with my second. We are not in a good place financially too but you know what, is there ever a right time? We wanted two close together in age so that's what we did and now my son's going to have a little brother which we can't wait for. If you feel the time is right then go for it ❤️
DO IT!
We had baby number 2 there in Jan 2025 with a 16 month age gap. We had the exact worries but you know what, I wouldn’t change it for the world. You’re never going to regret having another, and you always make things work! Money always comes and goes 😊
There’s never a right time really. Something will always feel a little off. If you can afford another baby then I definitely would go for it. X
This is so sweet🥹 I think the financial worry is very valid because we are headed into a crazy recession. For that reason I would say be confident that you are comfortable enough to afford to little kids on a single income before you conceive x
We had the very same concerns as you about number 2. Our financials aren’t where we want them to be but I’m 21 weeks pregnant and we couldn’t be happier to have 2 with a 2 year age gap. They can grow up together. Like everyone has said above money comes and goes. As long as you feel secure enough then do it x
Same position and 20 weeks pregnant. Just wanted them close and weren’t sure how long it would take to fall again (quicker than we thought!!) x
@Leanne yeah exact same for us 😂 my first took 3 years then this one was first time. Definitely didn’t expect that!
