Having another child

Haha yep, I had a really hard newborn last time round and people kept asking me after day 1 and we were like nope never doing this ever again. Fast forward 18 months and all was forgotten and got broody so decided to have another 😂 Finding this one much easier than my first though.
I’m 6 weeks pp with my first and both me and my partner have said we don’t want another one if it happens it happens but we will be trying to avoid it but the C-section made me not want anymore
Im nearly 7 weeks pp & I feel the overwhelm but for a different reason - I can’t wait to be pregnant again as I loved pregnancy but I had a very physically traumatic birth and recovery - postpartum haemorrhage and 4th degree tear which may take a year or long to recover from. Despite the physical damage I actually weirdly loved the main part of my birth (in the water pool ) it was just the last bit that changed with needing a forceps delivery. I feel the choice has been taken out of my hands which is probably why I can’t wait to plan a second baby.. Ive been told if I have another baby I will have to have a c-section (which I really didn’t want but have accepted) and also best to wait 2 years. It has frustrated me a lot as I wanted babies closer in age but all I can do is let my body repair and hope I can have a 2nd baby 🤞🏻
After my first I said I wouldn’t have any more as I was a bit traumatised from the labour and then I changed my mind two years later. This time I had a c section and a week later said I’m not doing that ever again. 5 weeks later I’m changing my mind already. Just let yourself feel your emotions and don’t put pressure on yourself to change your mind or not. Xx
Feel like I could’ve written this myself 🥲 I definitely feel like I’m one and done and as much as I would like a sibling for my boy, he’s better off with a mentally sane Mum ❤️
I had horrible PND with my first and swore I’d never have another. 4 years later I have a 4 week old, the birth was lovely compared to my first and I also said I wouldn’t breastfeed again, but we’re exclusively breastfeeding 😂 It’s all a little raw is all ❤️
Yes! What's getting to me is the assumption that I want another one ! It's really hard, expensive etc and personally I want my work life back a little, I worked hard for it and don't see why I should give it up for children as much as I love them. I know it's early but yes I feel the same xx
