Hi guys, I wonder if you could help with a little question please. I've just had a lovely little boy, he's 7 months old and a joy, sleeping through and feeding well. I'm lucky I know, especially as he was 7 weeks premature. However, I'm 35 and my dh is 38 and I really want another baby next year. My hubby is not keen on the idea at all. To be fair to him I do understand his point, we've had a bad time on the baby front, we lost our daughter at 28 weeks and I have a heart shaped uterus (sorry tmi) so I'm likely to have another problematic pregnancy and I will defo go into preterm labour again. Hubby says we should count our blessings and enjoy our life with our boy, that having another one may be asking or trouble and neither of us could handle loosing another child. I agree but as one of 5, I'd hate for my boy's only sibling to be in heaven. I know he's a really good baby and I know another baby might be totally different, but hey they are only babies for a while. I kinda see this as a big deal for our marriage. So, how tough is it to have 2? We both work full time and have little family support. Advice and opinions would be gratefully recieved. Thanks. x ?
