Help! Second baby or not?

[kcha]

I can't decide what to do. I thought I had decided I was happy with one child but my husband is doing a good job of persuading me otherwise. Any thoughts / advice? Thank you xx

Hi Kcha, I dont have any advice but wanted to say you're not alone as I'm going through the same back and forth thinking. It takes so much courage to go again. I've built up the courage twice now but suffered miscarriages after each so I'm back to square one, on one hand trying to build the courage again and on the other hand relieved that I'm not pregnant and questioning if I really want it.

Unfortunately for us the whole thing takes more planning and consideration, there's a lot for us to weigh up. If only it were an easy decision hey! X

I had baby number 2 in July and no pp, very personal decision but I'd always have had another and she is worth getting pp for (but I didn't). protected sleep for first few week if possible was what worked for me x

Hi, I had PP in 2013 and had a relapsed a year later and I've just had a second baby no PP this time. On medication month before due date until baby was 5 months. I had the Parinatil Team involved from the start which helped with care plans and we had a plan incase I did become un well. We even had an appointment with the Parinatil Team before we started trying for a 2nd to ask questions, which helped us to decide.

But this time round has been completely different much better experience.

It is a hard decision, good luck xx

I would agree, it is a very personal decision. I decided to go for it, had a second child, again PP, very hard but I don't regret it at all. You never know what will happen, I just wanted a brother/ sister for my son. Just think about it thoroughly, be prepared for everything and whatever you decide we are for you!
