[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP. Thanks for the replies. I could have worded it better, as I don’t need “convincing” but someone to tell me it gets easier. I am someone with anxiety and the thought of pregnancy, covid, the stress of money and our relationship Makes me hesitant. DS has been such a good baby (Knock on wood), but DH and I are so exhausted I just can’t imagine when I’ll be ready again. But if a family or friend ask one more time “when are you having another” I may scream. [/quote] OP, your one will get easier. It will start to feel notably easier somewhere between 3-4 probably depending on the kid. If you add a second, it will not only not get easier, it will get exponentially harder as a PP described. The language you're using to describe how you're feeling (anxiety, stress, so exhausted you can't imagine) is clear. Listen to yourself, you are not ready. That is fine. Please do not have another when you're feeling this way because friends and family are being rude jerks. Just say "when we're ready, which is not yet." [/quote]
