Can’t do this again!

Same here... 🥲 Everyone is already telling me 'you'll see the second one is easier' and I am like 'what second one ? I can't do this twice'

I think its normal to feel like that for while. I did for a while and my baby is 5 weeks now but remember youre a great mum and youre doing amazing dont let anyone tell you anything else. Personally i think i felt like that cuz i had lost myself and it was all so overwhelming but eventually i started enjoying my baby and staying positive (not that i didn’t enjoy my baby) stay positive take each day as it comes enjoy all the little lovely moments and dont think about another one right away maybe later on in the future you could change your mind right now just cherish what you have x

I said throughout my whole pregnancy I’m not doing this again, the constant sickness was hell. And now she’s here and the lack of sleep and how difficult those first few weeks were cemented my decision 😂 Every single one of my friends that have more than one have said stick with one, the second one is absolutely not easier at all, harder to get back in shape, harder to deal with a newborn when you already have one as even more exhausted and they all wish they had stopped at one. I will be taking their advice 🤣 however I am 37, I may feel different if It was 10 years ago

Absolutely normal!! My first baby I had a horrible birth, she was hard work as a newborn, and still is as a toddler! We were one and done for a long time, but then last summer I realised I missed having a baby and I wanted her to have a sibling. Pregnancy with a toddler is bloody hard, but this time the birth was much easier and our new baby is so chilled! It’s still not easy, we have two little ones to look after now, but you already have a routine and the second one just slots in. You have more confidence as a parent, and nature has a way of making you forget how hard pregnancy, birth and dealing with new babies all are! You might change your mind after some time, or you might not and that’s ok too!

I feel exactly the same, my baby has just turnt 8 weeks and he is my firstborn. I absolutely love him to pieces and wouldn't wish for a different life but it's a hard time and I think the fact that you have a long 9 months, then have to give birth and then have to adjust to a whole new life it's just all a bit crazy! Me and my partner have said a few times now he's going to be an only child and I can't think of anything worse than having another child right now 😂 (I always wanted 2) but everyone tells me in a year or so you will forget everything and think it's a great idea. So just see how you go I reckon 😊

I think if your pregnancy, baby, birth and postpartum were good then you're more likely to go in for another one. All of mine was good and at 1 week pp, I am 100% happy to get pregnant again - I would do again now but I had a csection so I'll be waiting. You might feel like it now, but I think baby fever will come for us all 🤣

Take each step as it comes, your baby is still so young!! My june baby is my 2nd and with my 1st (23m) i DO NOT remember the newborn phase as i was purely surviving! I dont think i started thriving in motherhood until 6 months or so! The newborn phase is tough!! So dont worry about thinkinh about other babies yet! If you change your mind later down the line great but if not thats fine! I will say i have found going from 1-2 easier than i did 0-1! Ive now got 2 under 2 and they're both amazing xx
