Struggling with wanting another baby or just sticking to one.
I feel guilty not giving my daughter a sibling but I’m not sure I can handle another child.
Any advice ladies?😐
Its tough! One day I’m like one is fine, I’l focus on her but then other days I just feel selfish.
I totally thought I was a one and done mom but there seems to be a pattern now where every 3 years I get baby fever. 😭 I was a second generation only child so for me to have more than one was unusual but I like having two and I’m excited to have a third. My first son responded really well to being a big brother so that was nice. Can’t say my second will be as good of a big brother but they’ll learn.
@kimberly_the-preemie-mom, thank you for sharing. My daughter is a lot like your older son. She is nurturing and caring for others. Hopefully I figure out what will be best for my family! 😬
By the way, I love the name Oliver. It’s always been one of my fav boy names
@momabear1244, well it might be time to consider having another. 😁
My Oliver was born 11 weeks early and we hadn’t officially decided on a name but that was the only one that “stuck” for us. I was thinking of Oliver & Company at the time. 😂
I felt the same way. But I went for it LOL here I am with two kids. It was hard at first and sometimes I feel like I am loosing it 😆 but what helps is my daughter is in school so I get to enjoy baby as well.. but I am done for suree. I know 3 kids will kill me 😅
I probably just need more time to decide. I agree 3 would be too many for me also! But I do admire all the mommies that can handle more!
@momabear1244, me too! But I felt the same way as giving her a sibling didn’t want her to grow up alone. So we started trying when she turned 2 and it took us a while to get pregnant... also wanted them close in age and I think 3 or 4 is a perfect gap...
I am all for siblings. My children have an amazing bond. My daughter is always so concern with her brother.
Thats so sweet! I grew up with siblings so I know how it is. I think it’s the 2 miscarriages I had earlier this year back to back that is putting the fear in me.
@momabear1244, I’m sorry to hear about that. It’s understandable that your feeling scared. 💜
We have 6. So u probably know how I feel about it lol
I think i want another baby
Never In a million years did I think I would say this but... I think I want another baby 😩😩
is it bad that i want another baby....but i know we cant have one cause we cant afford another baby right now.... 😔
Another post got me thinking... Do you think your child's name is unique?!
By unique I mean shared by almost no-one else
I feel the same exact way but if you don’t think you can handle another one there is no reason to feel bad. You have to look out for yourself before you are able to be the best parent you can b for your little one. That is how I see it.
