What about second baby?!
Have you ever asked your self ” what is the best time for a second baby?” I asked myself before but I didn’t know the best answer.
After my older son’s 2nd birthday, I and my spouse decided to bring a brother to my son. I didn’t want the difference between them is to be greater than 4 or 5 years so I had tried for 4 months and finally I was pregnant. It was a little bit difficult with a toddler 2 years. Some people advised me to let my son go to nursery but I refused and started homeschooling with him.
Every day I was thinking about when I can tell him but I was afraid of his reaction due to his little bunches and kicks and sometimes he hits me in my belly so I decide to tell him before I gave birth so when he asked me about my big belly I told him it was a surprise I’ll tell you the right time. I didn’t know if I was right or wrong but it was comfortable for me and my son.
When I was tired I don’t tell him the right reason I was afraid his brain to link between my sickness and the new baby.
As every pregnant was different, our goals are different too.
Sometimes I feel depressed and think the second baby Is increasing my responsibilities but I admitted I feel tired and I have negative thoughts and he is a gift.
Day after day even though the most effort I did with my little kids I feel so happy when I see them grow together and start playing with each other and start to fight too I know they will learn new skills from each other. The whole experience is worth a try and It is a risk too so think carefully before you take this risk and know your health condition and your financial situation and share this decision with your partner it is not easy and sometimes we didn’t aware of the whole journey and become selfish.
A new baby means new love, new costs, new stress, and a new version of you and you must decide to give your kids their rights properly your family deserves to have a life with a quality and happy mom.
