Anyone else really unsure about whether or not to try for a second baby? My little one is 14 months and, despite always thinking I wanted two, I’ve found becoming a Mum so much harder than I thought so I just can’t imagine having another baby and doing it all over again. With that being said I feel so sad thinking about my baby growing up without a sibling. Does anyone else feel the same?

100% understand what your saying! I feel the same way! On one hand I want my son to have a sibling because I never had one and always wanted one but at the same time it feels like there already to much to do in one day, life just feels way to busy to have another one 🙈

I always thought i would have 2 babies, but after having my daughter, I am seriously considering being one and done. I don't know if I could handle a 'difficult' baby while also giving my daughter the attention she deserves, esp since she was a relatively easy baby

I’m the same but different! I always wanted the one baby but now that I have my son, I’m considering potentially having another. My son has always been incredibly well tempered so the past year has generally been a dream. However I do know that there is a good chance that the next baby wouldn’t be so chilled 😅 that, along with affordability (daycare costs, maternity leave etc) are my main sticking points. Also my husband doesn’t want another so I guess that’s important too😂 but I do keep also thinking about my little boy not having a sibling and I feel guilty! It’s just whether I want to throw a curve ball into our already perfect life 🤷🏻♀️

Us too! Am currently leaning more towards 'just do it' it might be hard but it's not impossible 👀🤞
