Hi IM's.
I'm sure this gets asked all the time and I also know that I really am the only one that can make this final decision as I have to live with it.
I have 1 child an awesome 3 yr old son, I also have 2 step sons 12 and 16 who are not so brilliant, (total long other story) now I have wanted another child from almost the moment my son was born and hubby has always said no way (very definate) over 3 years i have steadily mentioned the subject and now he seems to be almost at that point of "well I still think no, but it is important to you so i will be a bit more positive" (I could force the issue if I really want to now) now that I almost have the positivity from him about it all I can think is do I really want another baby??
pro's - it's a child (really awesome love kids) already have a 7 seater car.
con's - automatic high risk pregnancy (age 36, gd, blood thinners pre e risk etc) - holidays and ëxtras can be kissed goodbye, fantastic private education kissed goodbye, so easy with one awesome little man vs difficult with 2+ kids, job is great but only casual so no garuantee of getting it back after maternity.
argghhhhh. anyone ever regretted only having the one and wished they took the chance for another? experiences and advice please?
Thanks
Another baby?

I have never ever regretted my only child. In fact I'm more likely to sit back and smugly say I did the right thing.
Don't get me wrong though I like kids and when there is a spare baby going I will be first in line to give it a snuggle but I very very happily give it back.
Things financially are comfortable, emotionally they are comfortable, and physically they are comfortable.
Not that I would ever give a child back but I have two, an I wish I had of stopped at one... It is sooooo much easier..
