My partner wants another baby to be a brother for our first kid
My partner wants another kid. I just gave birth December 8th, 2024. I want to focus on him. If I have one more child , I don't want to risk neglecting my first one. J get overwhelmed easily from screaming and crying. Also, it was scary being pregnant I had to be induced and cut open s the end. I had an epidural which was scary. Everything is a risk to me. I put my life at risk to have a child. I don't want to do it again. 😔 Just for my kid to have a source of entertainment from his sibling?? It's double the work, double the expenses also and the amount of care giving required. I am ok with just one.

That’s very reckless of him to want that considering your body is nowhere near ready, let alone your mind. Tell him that doctors say that it’s not safe to try so early and he should look into it too. That should hold him off for a while, but ultimately the decision needs to be mutual from both of you, especially since you’re doing majority of the work.
Gynecologists recommend waiting at least 18 months for your body to be at its best and to avoid any complications
I think he changed his mind today bc I made him to take care of baby the whole night and he couldn't handle it. I'm crying already bc I falling behind on my bills.
I don't want to be a stay at home mom.

Right now everything is new and exciting to your partner so they are flourishing in their new life, as they should. However in a few short weeks and days the reality of how hard the newborn trenches can be and how difficult and demanding it will be asking of them will start to play a roll. You yourself also need a lot of time to heal, recover and balance yourself again. They say wait 18 months to even allow your body to conceive again. If I was you I would just explain your body needs time and your child needs to learn and adapt to their new life as it is right now as well as acclimating yourself as new parents. I myself was induced, tried every method of labor for 3 days and ended in a C-Section, with a bad reaction to the epidural. It’s a lot and traumatic. Give yourself time Mama, your partner owes you that too.
