6m PP & wanting to start trying again
TW early loss
As the title says, my first turned 6 months last week. My husband & I have always said we wanted a bigger family (3+), and he is a little older than me so, while it isn't a massive problem, we are always conscious of that factor! I want my kids to be closer together than my sibling & I.. especially as I want my time being pregnant over & done with 😂
I got pregnant again when our daughter was 2 months but it didn't last and I took a real hit from that. I feel more ready now a few months have passed.
I just wanted to hear from some experienced mothers (& fathers!) and experiencing mothers about 2u2, and how you dealt with that (energy, PP, career, finance, space, etc). I will be the main caregiver as the younger, more energetic one. I have a job I really like, and would like to progress in, but I think if we had another, I would want to stay at home with them both and take my full mat leave (I went back to work when 1st was 5 weeks). I also had a C section, so if anyone has any experience in that too, I would really appreciate anything.
Thank you!
