HI! You might want to check out Parents You’ve Got This. They are very helpful and I learned a lot from their parenting classes,

There is no ‘right’ answer.
I would have a look at all of life’s factors (financial, emotional, routines, do you have enough you time?) and see if I want another.
We were blessed with 2, there was an almost 5 year age gap. I found that worked for us because the older child was more aware, but also had it’s challenges.
It’s ok to be one and done, it’s ok to want more.

There is no right or wrong time as long as you and your partner are in the same boat. I wanted to habe children close together. My second one was born when the elder one was 27 months old, it was diifcult for first 2 yrs but i cant be happier to hqve these 2 as they are best friends. My third is just born in Nov and is 4 yrs apart from the second. Its not so diificult most of the time as the second one understands tht baby needs mummy more but there are difficult days, nothing that doesnt get better. So its totally your choice.

I am in the same boat. I really want another one though even though I’m a bit worried But no one is ever truly ready for kids and I believe mothers are strong and just seem to cope with things. Remember your daughter will be going to kinder ect to give you that break and time with bubs xx good luck xx

You will always question whether you are ready or not. As long as your relationship is in a good place then there’s no wrong or right time.

Definitely over thinking. If you wait for the ‘perfect’ or ‘right’ time it’ll never happen. Don’t think, just do!

You may not ever be ready but if its what you really want you will learn to adapt to it. Just trust your yourself. Good luck.

I’m in a similar situation with my daughter turning 3 years old and I’m not sure I’m ready for my second. But don’t want to leave it much longer as I’m not getting younger either. I guess you need to weigh up if you would love a sibling for your daughter, financially if you can manage it and also how you’re placed in your life career wise. Good luck with it all!

Have a look at what your future would look like with another baby. Are you financially ready, are you mentally ready?

You should wait till you are both mentally ready

Are we ever really ready? I think take a breathe! You will know when you know and things always happen when they’re meant to!

I don’t think we are ever “ready” there will always be factors to choose and life doesn’t always go to plan. Waiting for the right moment may not happen.

You will always just make things work, but if you are prone to overthinking, time to put things down on paper, pros/cons list for trying for no. 2 vs trying later. List everything no matter how small and it will take the stuff out of your head, and discuss with hubby about how everything will work if you have 2 and he works away. I know I couldnt handle going through pregnancy again with a child to look after so our family is complete.

Personally I think if you’re struggling to make such a big decision then you are not ready. We had our second when our first was just 18 months old and it has been very hard. Now 1 and almost 3 and very full on.

Be 100% certain without any questions before you decide

If you feel you’re ready, and can handle it you will just make it work!
the first is always the hardest

Did you feel ready for baby 1? If not, what’s different about 2? Imagine the same rewards you will get. As long as your relationship is healthy and you have love, go for it Mama!

I would relax in it and let nature do it’s work and go with the flow. Personally I found the 2nd for easier than the first, it is as if you and your body know how to do it.
