Having a second child ? Yes or no?

Is it really worth having a second baby, do you think your life has become easier or harder after having a second kid or if you could change time would’ve you stayed with one only? Trying to figure out because I’m really debating if should have another baby or not. I really liked the flexibility of having one baby...

First and second after 40

Just had my first at 41 and debating if we’ll have another. I’ll be 42 when trying and 43 giving birth if all goes well. Did anyone have more than one baby after 40? If so how did pregnancy go? Was the second harder?

I want another baby...37

I really want another baby. I am 37, so I need to make moves, so to speak and get off bc. I hear/see people say having babies in your late 30s is impossible and hard. Is anyone here a late 30s mom and/or currently pregnant around this age? Willing to give advice? For context, my youngest is 5.
