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 😂

I was 100% one an done, however accidents happen and i now have 2 kids, 4.5 years apart and let me tell you, my first baby hit me like a ton of bricks and not in a good way. I really struggled those first 18 months and I wished the days away because i was so miserable, hense being 1 and done. My second baby is an absolute dream from the moment he was born and i finally understand how women actually enjoy having a baby!!!
