baby with the ex?

baby with the ex?

I want to have another baby.
For 1. I would love to have another baby :)
secondly: I feel that having grown up with siblings that I created great memories with them (lots of fighting but still memories) and would love that for my son too
he is two and I am single. His dad (my ex) has agreed to have another baby with me but I just need to know... are there other mums in a similar situation or have done a similar thing?
I know it will be tough to be a single parent to two but I just feel like it's time again and I don't want to just have a baby with someone I've just met.
me and my sons father get on well, we do family things together for our son and we never fight!
Is this a selfish thing for me to want?
I am financial and not worried about what people would say about me having a baby with my ex... I just want to hear of others that might have done the same and their experience :)
TIA

I too thought this was a good idea I am now 8 weeks to y ex I still love my baby and we have a 4 year old together. He has since backed right off and has had no contact at all or seeing our son. I have no family support and live in a small town. I often feel very alone and exhausted and very much miss having a partner to share baby with or to help with dinner when I'm unwell.

I personally have no experience with this but when I was in hospital having my first there was a woman in our ward who had just had her third to her ex. They split after their first but she wanted kids from the same man & although they lived in different cities it worked for them.
