Part of me really wants another baby but the other part of me is terrified to have a second child. My little girl is 22 months old and currently she’s become hard work as she is only a little bugger for me and an angel for everyone else. She’s made me cry, shout, scream and I just feel so stressed and can’t cope at motherhood at the moment. She’s always been a good baby. We’ve managed to get good nights sleep. The thought of having another baby and doing all the night feeds, sleepless nights, and feeling the way I do now makes me really sad. I’m still not over my birth as I had an emergency csection. I hated my body after having my daughter, I had awful stretch marks and the way I feel now is getting me down. I cry almost everyday and sometimes it’s the smallest of things. My daughter spilt tea over the floor the other day and I just cried because it was something else I had to do. I get no help from my partner. I do all the bedtime routine, get up with her in the mornings, wake up to her in the night if she wakes and I am emotionally and physically drained. Has anyone else felt like this before. Any tips anyone would like to share with me 😥😭xx

Terrible twos! I really like the age gap between my two because she can help out she’s pretty independent with a lot of things. I can’t imagine having a smaller age gap 😂
I have felt like that before after I had my first baby, it may be worth seeing the doctor I was experiencing postnatal depression for months before I realised and it was a downward spiral from there until I saw a doctor and I had some help one being medication and also counselling just to understand why I felt the way I did and ways to help deal with my emotions. Many many women experience these feelings you arnt alone and with a little help and support you can feel better.
Don’t plan having another baby if you don’t feel ready just yet , it doesn’t mean you never will in the future , I was that girl I swore blind I was never having anymore and now I have three! Xx
Thankyou. Everyone asking when I’m
Having another and my partner wants another 🙈xx
I think you need to speak to someone sweetheart. It sounds like you may need a little bit of help.
We’ve all been there. There are days where I want to lock myself away and cry. It sadly just seems to be a normal part of motherhood. It does get easier.
I’ve also been through an ECS with my third and it was very traumatic. It did have an effect of my fears of having another and the midwives were so supportive.
If you don’t feel it’s the right time, then it probably isn’t. You have time and there’s no rush x
I think you maybe need to speak to someone about how you’re feeling.
Some days I feel exactly the same, I’m currently on a programme dealing with my own birth trauma from my second ECS. I’m on week four of a twelve week programme and I feel a little better already. I was on edge daily, everything made me want to cry, shout and I had no energy. My hubby works away, I shouted at my toddler one day it was like a breaking point it’s not how I wanted to be.
It might not be the right time for another baby if you’re not sure but there isn’t a time frame for the perfect age gap xx
