A second baby.

[Melanie]

Not a chance.
I love my daughter more than anything on earth but i dont want more children. Im happy with my life right now. One day i may change my mind but it will be along time from now if i do!

Yes, but he says one is enough and that we can't afford a second one.

we are going to ttc after our wedding next april. if things go according to plan then there will be a 2 year age gap between our kids, you just don't know whats going to happen though, just because we have had children before ttc next time around could take ages. but thats the plan at the moment.

Hi all I was speaking to my sister yesterday and we were talking about having number two (she has just had her first) and I said that I just couldn't imagine having another baby at the moment, I want three eventually but at the moment I just feel I couldn't concentrate and give all my love to Thomas! I am actually surprising myself to be onest because this time last year I thought I would want to pop them out in quick succession!!!! I had a dream last night that I took a pregnancy test and it came up positive!!! Personally if I did get pregnant I would love the baby just as much as Thomas but I don't feel ready at the moment!!

So, my question is, if your oh said to you right lets start trying again, what would you do?

(This is all hypothetical by the way!!!)

id say fook off. we will do itwhen im good and ready.

We wanted another but wanted to wait till Seren was 3. Don't get me wrong I am very happy and excited about this baby but would have preferred a bit bigger gap. Still I will go out and get drunk After this though he says he is going in for the snip, though I would liketowait another 5 years and have another perhaps

If you're ready then you'll say yes
I don't think there's a wrong time to have a second, third, fourth child, there'll always be different reasons for waiting or not, within each different relationship and family

I said yes but ideally I'd like to wait till Isaac goes to school but on the practial side I'm 34 next year and I don't want to be in the high risk category next time I am pg. Its stressful enough as it is! I'm worried too about morning sickness and getting Isaacs meals ready and also the tiredness at the beginning and end of being pg. Last time I just sledged on the sofa all day watching tv. And what if Isaac feels left out and what if I havent the energy to look after him? I'd feel rotten if Isaac suffered because of it. I know that siblings are company for eachother but theres also alot of rivalry and bickering. I can't imagine controlling 2, I can just about keep Isaac in check!

ooooo its a dilema!

Redshoes is right, there isn't any right or wrong time, it's totally individual.

Personally I'm glad the decision when to have a second was taken away from me, as my second was a lovely suprise! I too felt guilty at first, thinking that somehow my first child would miss out when subsequent children came along. This of course doesn't happen. Nobody misses out, there's plenty of love and attention for everybody, you'll amaze yourself!.......

Having had my two very close together If my OH said lets try for another I'd hang him up by his balls and poke him in intimate places with a red hot poker.
Don't get me wrong I love my children with all my heart but the worst thing I did was having them so close together, for multiple reasons.
Still I wouldn't be without my little dumplings

 

[rach]

i couldnt really answer this as im not sure
id love more but im so scared after losing jamie and all the stress when i was pg with christopher im not sure i could cope with all that again
i wish time was on my side as id love to wait 4/5 years and really enjoy christopher on his own and maybe think about it again but then i would be at even higher risk of having another baby born sleeping im 34 now who knows i might just shock you all 1 day xxxxxx

We won't have another for a while (if at all )
