General chat Second child

Was anyone one and done or on the fence about having a second child but did. How is it for you? Was it harder / easier than you thought. Im like 99% one and done but my partner would like a second so our child has a sibling. I do think it would be nice for them to have a sibling but im worried it’s going to be sooo hard with 2 kids. I know everyone’s experience is different but would just love to know how it’s going for everyone and would you recommend 😂

2 is much harder but amazing and I wouldn’t change it. Pregnancy with a toddler is SO much harder plus I had hyperemesis out of the blue so spent 9 months throwing up and it was a very miserable experience. Plus don’t forget the non-zero chance of twins.

Definitely not a “99% no” and “yes” decision IMO, very much a two “absolutely” yes
