How did you decide to have a second child?
Hello! I’ve used this app back in the day when I was trying to get pregnant with my son and now I’m back contemplating and would really appreciate anyone who would like to share their view and experience.
For those who have 2 kids- how did you decide to start trying for a second one? Why things did you consider? What pushed you to start thinking about it? How did you plan it out?
I’m 33 now and my son is about to turn 6. Both him and my husband (35) have been asking for a baby. I’m a real worried and plan everything. It was hard to conceive my first because I have PCOS and ended up having to use IUI (which worked the first try). So I fully understand that even if we decide to start trying there is a high chance I won’t get pregnant. That being said I really have that “awww I want a tiny little baby” feeling however at the same time I understand how insanely harder this will make my life. My husband is in the military so he is constantly gone. I have no family close by and only 1-2 trusted people who can help and because of the military I have to move every 2-3 years and look for new people (this time it will mean new school, new daycare, new babysitter etc). I work full time and while my work offers 12 weeks of parental leave going back to work will be hard but I am not prepared to sacrifice my career. I also have had breast augmentation done after my first pregnancy and really would not like to ruin my body…again lol at the same time I love my husband and my son and do feel the baby fever. But can’t decide if this feeling is actually worth all the work.
So with all of that.. how did you decide?
