How did you feel - deciding to conceive number 2?

[Salad]

Thanks for the replies everyone man what a roller coaster hey. I am glad I am not alone though.
We are hoping for 3-4 children and even though I am only 26 and have plenty of time I still want them close together but I just didnt realise that it would come around this quickly.

principessa76 - your reply was helpful and its not selfish to think that way at all I am the same I was very lucky with Georgia and I am hoping to be the same again next time.

i waited til i was 110% ready, mentally that is. I had severe PND with DS and it took me almost 5 years to even consider a 2nd. We were't even considering #2 at all initially, thanks to DS but we eventually wanted another once DS was about to start school.

Just make sure you are ready to handle two little ones.

PS love your avvy.

Hiya Salad
My dh wanted our children to be really close in age, but i wasn't so sure - i was thinking - how can I love another child as much as this one? Anyway, I fell pregnant when dd1 was 9 months old, and all through the pregnancy I was still worrying about how I would cope. When dd2 was born, all of those thoughts went out the window. I fell in love with her the moment I saw her, and I knew everything would be alright.
I'm so glad I listened to my dh, as they have a wonderful relationship. There's a 4 year gap between dd2 and dd3 - and even though i would have liked for them to all have been closer together - this age gap is working beautifully for now as well.
Good luck
