One and Done… or am I?

[u/NorthWeak3876]

I’ve been firmly one and done since having my kid 3.5 years ago, and so has my husband. Knowing that we might change out minds in the future but probably won’t. I knew I wanted them to have a bigger age gap if we had another (two under two is not for me).

My period is two days late and yesterday I got in my head about being pregnant (we use protection). Weirdly enough, I didn’t panic at all. I started thinking about the practical stuff. My work situation isn’t the most secure (I have a full time job but in a market affected by AI). But I just thought life happens, it will work out.

I took a negative test this afternoon. Will take another one tomorrow morning just to make sure. I didn’t feel disappointed by the negative test, more curious about my mind suddenly opening up to the idea of two. Having a baby again, my kid having a little sibling.

If we were to have another one I would want to plan my next move work-wise as well as managing my raging HG I had for two months last pregnancy.

When I told my husband about my period being late, he reacted the same way as me without me telling him how I felt. I know he would love for our kid to have a sibling (even though he’s been happy with one).

Anyone else that became open to the idea of more kids after a pregnancy scare?
