How does anyone get the courage to have another child 😭

Mothers are resilient and adaptive. It's more than possible. I'm about to be have 3 children, 2 and under. I was nervous about 2 under 2. But I don't really feel nervous about having three babies tbh

5 months pp it’s hard but not as hard anymore. I wanted to get pregnant right away but I’m definitely waiting a bit now

My husband and I wanted 3 kids but I don't want to go past 36 and pregnant so we're going to try for number 3 probably in the spring. I just keep telling myself it gets easier when times are rough.

I'm pregnant with number three and with the first two I never had those "I'm never doing this again" thoughts, with this one I've known since early on I'm not doing this again. Everyone's different though and the memories of how hard the whole process is definitely do fade to some extent

I have 2, birth is a breeze for me… I’m guessing it’s genetics! I actually think I want one or two more.

My pregnancy was stressful due to abuse and it was high-risk. Then I had a traumatic birth as a single mom. I have no idea how I'll overcome all of the trauma and be able to have more kids with a different partner in the future. I also want a big family

I’ve barely had the courage for one lol. I’m one and done, long before I got pregnant. It’s up to the individual, and those desires might change or solidify. You’re only 4 weeks pp, be kind to yourself during this time and know it will get easier

@Lianna I am so sorry to hear that you’ve been through that! Being with the right partner shapes 50% of the whole experience imo so when the right one comes along, hopefully you’ll be able to enjoy a positive journey. Sending hugs x

It takes time mumma, for a solid 12-18 months with baby #1 I was adamant against another because of how hard I found it, but then it slowly started to shift as I healed from my journey and got past the hardest parts

I had a high risk pregnancy with both of my kids. My first was so traumatic I wanted to wait a year and prevented it as much as I could but still ended up pregnant with my son when she was 9 months old. I was terrified. The second birth wasn’t near as bad because the doctors knew what to expect, as did I. Now I’m a little over 4 months pp and I can’t take any birth control because my body rejects it, I 🩸 way too much on it, or it spikes my BP to high. We are doing the pull and pray method but in my head since we want AT LEAST one more, “if it happens, it happens.” I have 2 under 2 and if I get pregnant again within the next month or two because of me being high risk with my previous two, I will have Irish twins🥲

It gets better. I promise 100%. It’s hard going from 0 to 1 and wanting more after something traumatic happens in birth or labor. I did tons of therapy to work on it. I honestly still struggle with it but it gets better❤️❤️

I’m 13 months pp and we know we want at least one more (I would like 3 total) but even the thought of doing all the baby stuff (the first like year) again scares the living hell out of me🤣

I’m 4 months pp and definitely still feel like this. But I do want 2 more. It takes a bit to adapt to being a mom. But once you do it’s easier for sure. I’m sorry mama!

@Serenah you are very brave!
