Dont know if I want another!!!!

All I have been thinking about is having another baby. Its been driving me crazy. Then I look at my little guy ad I start to worry about having another and him losing out on something. I am an only child, and have never wanted a brother or sister. Maybe its just nerves or something. I want to be pregnant again, but thats not a good excuse to have another baby. The time will come (we were thinking of ttc next march) and I am just worried that Lane will miss out on having me all to himself, even though I know he will gain so much more by having a sibling. My question is to mothers who have more then 1 child. Did you feel nervous about having 2??? I am worried there will not be enough love to go around if I have another....I know thats crazy!

god i wonder that all the time too....i look at Hailey and think that i could never possibly love another baby like i love her.

I felt the same way!! And, I still sort of do, though my brain in telling me that I will have enough for two. I still worry that I won't be able to give enough to Noah and I still can't imagine loving another child as much as I love him, but I know that's not true. It took me three years to finally decide that another baby wouldn't be a bad thing. I still struggle with it, but I know that once she's here I won't be able to remember feeling this way. It's totally normal!! And, if you don't want to, you don't have to have another child. Don't let other people try to talk you into doing something you don't want to do. Good luck!

Thats my thoughts too!!! I know people say you just do, but I am scared.

well honestly at first i felt like a bad mom because i fetl like i was neglecting my oldest daughter when my youngest was born but i soon got over that..... it is challenging having 2 kids but mine are close in age so that makes it a little more challenging...... but they are super close and even though they fight "like sisters" i wouldnt trade a minute of it and i know that they will grow up to be close friends.... if you let your oldest child help with the baby (when you decide to have another) then it will be easier because you two would be sharignt he experience together and he probably would enjoy it very much!!!!!!!!

i have 3, and i love them all equally, but differently. i was afraid when i was preggers w/ #2 that i couldn't love him as much as my first, but it's like your heart doubles!   good luck, and whats meant to be, will be!

My biggest issue was that because I am an only child I only ever wanted one. Then I had Lane and now I was more, but I dont know if that would be the best for him. I had everything I kid could want and depite what people say, never felt like I went without because I didnt have a sibling. I just worry that having another is what I want and not whats best for him.

I already have two and honestly I cant wait to have more. I love to see them playing together or falling asleep together. Its a beautiful bond they share. I have a brother and a sister and Im so happy I had them around while I was growing up. I love both of my kids to death and am so glad that I have more than one.

Quoting Lane's Loving MaMa:“ All I have been thinking about is having another baby. Its been driving me crazy. Then I look at my little ... [snip!] ... feel nervous about having 2??? I am worried there will not be enough love to go around if I have another....I know thats crazy!”

I'm an only child too, but my father has 2 brothers, a sister, a 1/2 brother, a 1/2 sister, and 2 step-sisters... so all-in-all he's basically 1 of 8. I see how amazingly close they are, and although I don't want 8, I want at least one more. Although in my heart I can't imagine loving another child like I love my son, I think that's because there ISN'T another child that I could imagine loving as much... but as soon as I had another, I'm sure those feelings would go away.   I say the feeling is completely normal, but I'm glad to know I'm not the only one battling with this problem.

I know that it will go away once we get pregnant again and I have another. I am just nervous and scared and glad that I am not the only one having these same issues.
