Second child

Yupp pretty much and my toddler atm is full on..

Yes!! Exactly how I feel. My little man is alot atm too

Yes absolutely. Also so f expensive. Have mine 50h at nursery and cannot manage this sort of thing for + how many years. But children are cute and I d love for him to have a sibling 😞

Everyday I find at least 1000 good reasons for having another and 1000 for not having one lol. To be honest I am just very scared that it’ll be too hard to handle with little help available from family.

Yeah I feel the same. Right now it’s a no and one and done but there’s a part of me that’s sad about that and thinks well I’d love my son to have a sibling and build more of a family but just not sure I can go through it all again. Hats off to mums with multiple children honestly, my SIL is thinking of having another and her baby is only 5 months old, I do wonder if i find parenthood harder than most people as I seem to be the minority that might not be able to have any more kids! It’s the trauma of birth, then the medical anxiety, I’m an allergy mum too so that’s taken its toll, the constant illnesses aswell, it’s a rough ride, and I’m only just finding myself again, but there’s something at the back of my mind that says never say never , I guess maybe I’ll reassess in a couple of years

100%

It's hard for me to say this because I feel like if I was at this stage with just one I would 1000% be on the fence and more one and done but I got knocked up by accident at 8 mo pp and we were like OK f it let's go get it done, 2 and done... it was twins 😂 lol now I have 3 and the twins are 13 months and I am so light and glad that we have made it through the hardest years all in a row. I am convinced when you're physically done you know, emotionally I can't help because my situation definitely convinces you when you're done done. I made it to this point with only my mum and my Feb 22 babies childminder as my village that is my most humblest mum advice which is childcare for your oldest is a village, and its mum self care too.

Dont ask me how but you just DO 🤷🏼‍♀️ and i also have MS 🙈. Emotionally it can be draining sometimes but the older my baby (currently 8 months) gets the more they can play and interact with eachother, the easier it becomes to sooth both. Toddler is pretty full on and extremely sassy at times and baby literally shouts or growls when not happy 😅. Physically i mainly survive on coffee and fumes but you manage 😅 Seeing them bond and grow together is THE most amazing thing to watch and just makes your heart burst, makes all the occasional struggles so so worth it🥰 Feb baby is such a good big sister too! 😊

@Caz thank you for sharing your experience 😍 completely out of subject but have you read Dr Walsh’s book on MS? Xx

No problem at all ☺️. Just dont let the worries around the Toddler you have now, put you off expanding your family and giving them a sibling IF you want to! All the struggles are very short lived but the reward outweighs it massively 😊. Erm im not too sure, ive had it for nearly 14 years haha so maybe in passing 🤷🏼‍♀️

@Caz the book is called The Whals protocol and it’s about reversal of MS and other pathologies with diet and lifestyle. Thank you so much I appreciate your comment and thoughts! You’re right all the struggles that seem like they’ll last forever are short lived indeed x
