How do you know when you’re ready to have a second baby?
My daughter is 17 months and although I am not ready to have another, how do you know when it’s right?
How can i love another when she is my absolute world? I’ve seen loads of posts on socials recently saying how mums with new babies get so cross with their first born because they need something or they want to show them something. I can’t even begin to tell you how much that would kill me

I wonder too

My second was a complete surprise so I wasn't ready at all and it is difficult trying to give them both attention and getting frustrated at the little things I would definitely suggest waiting till your first is in a routine and try not to make major changes in little ones life closer to due date and straight after baby is born obviously something might happen out of your control also something else to think about is if your first is in nursery or nearly starting nursery when baby is born that might make it more difficult if baby is not a good sleeper x

I’m older so I have to get going at 18 months if I want another, which I do.
No getting ready for me!
