To be honest, i didn't know where to write this post! DH and I have been discussing about second child. Our first child, a DS is 18 months old now and if we're to ttc this year or next year, it seems like a 'just right' gap between the two children. HOwever, i've had bad GD with my first pregnancy, as I wanted to have a girl (so did DH) LOL... so to be frank, I am so SCARED TO DEATH if I ever fall pregnant because:
- not having desired gender (I find it hard to sway, diet wise)
- I am still exhausted from raising a baby!Lacking of sleep, etc has taken its toll on me
- We're thinking of upgrading our house (financial factor as well!), as our current place isn't enough to accomodate a 4-member family lol..
- afraid that DS isn't ready to welcome another baby (as he's still such a baby himself!!)
Having said that, I still would love to give DS a sibling...and many of my due date buddies back then from a couple of years ago are now expecting their second ones.... so in your (honest) opinion, If i ever want to postpone it, would it be too long if I wait for DS to start school (ie when he's around 4 or 5?). We're aiming for 3-4 kids though, but I know time is running out if I keep postponing.(i'll be hitting 30 soon!).
