@rachel.olivia_: My morning thoughts about having another baby and what’s holding me back. Am I alone in these thoughts or is it common?

Honestly I feel like people have negative feedback about any number of children you have. I know that doesn’t help your decision having 3 now I feel like people had something to say about 1, 2, and 3!

1 is a dream, it’s a deep bond, I love all my children the same there is room for all, but the bonds are stretched when you can’t give them all the same one on one attention. I have 4 they bring me so

Do what’s right for you babe, I’m personally so offended when people act like growing up an only child meant my childhood was less than other peoples 😭

I had labour trauma and a “difficult temperament baby” on waiting until she was 2 and it felt better to go into it again. I had all the same feelings. 2 labour was still hard but better as I had ….

I was definitely on the fence about having a second. My first birth was incredibly traumatic, and I was terrified to have to go through that again. I fell pregnant with my second when my baby was 5 months old, and honestly his birth healed something in me, and gave me some much needed closure. I’m definitely 2 and done now, I’ve had some unrelated medical issues arise that has left me pretty disabled at the moment, but I definitely have zero regrets about having my 2nd. Only you know what is best for you 😘

My baby is 6 weeks away from being 1 and I get torn as well. I can give her soo much if she’s an only child. If we have another I will have to work 5 days a week and money would be tighter.

I’m an only child! If you end up not having another they will be FINE. It made me self sufficient and independent

I had the same thoughts and feelings too. for years my husband and I only ever wanted one but we then decided to have another. we have a 5 year age gap and it is perfect. we have a 10 week old and our eldest is at school. I get one on one time with the baby and we don't have the cost of 2 lots of nappies or child care ect. our son loves his baby sister and is so helpful. I highly recommend a bigger age gap of your on the fence for a second :)

if you do have another, have a big gap (4+) years, so they can enjoy the baby and the love as much as you do 🥰

100% normal to have those feelings. I had a traumatic pregnancy too. I too, felt very happy with one child. Until my husband told me he wants another child. I also come from a big family.

You're not sharing love, you're making it bigger. I too had this mindset, I'm now 28wks pregnant with #2 and my heart explodes when I think about all the extra love that we'll have in our household. One child is totally ok too, no-one can really say if it's right or wrong.

Go for baby #2, if you still have that feeling of longing. It’s beautiful 💞

Don’t feel you have to make a decision right now. Enjoy these moments with your Bub. We had a 4 year gap because didn’t feel ready until then and it’s perfect the way it turned out.

I think you would 100% know if you were done that’s your persona gf. In terms of your love - it just doubles, you have SO much love to give & seeing them love each other makes your heart grow 10x 💖

My childhood was fine... But being an adult as an only child can be incredibly hard - especially when there is family drama and as my parents age.

Don’t worry about sharing the love, it’s not like that, you’ll love another just as much 🥰

I have a 15 and 17 year old and I still get asked when I’m going to have more?! Why do people even ask this? So confusing. You just do what’s best for you and your life, finances, goals etc etc 🩷

My son is 2.5 now, and he’s my only. I thought I always wanted two children but were super happy and content with our life with just our son. Just need to do what works for you and your family 😊

This is a personal matter. You may decide whether to have a child again or not or whether to wait🥰🥰🥰

It took me over 4 years for a second one. Physically and emotionally I wasn’t ready until I woke up one day and was ready. But you’re right, I haven’t given birth yet but I have feelings that I hope I’ll love this baby just as much as my first ❤️

100% common mate - I still have that internal battle as to whether or not I want more due to the exact same reasons
