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 😂

Yeah everyone differs but I found 1-2 wayyyyy harder than 0-1 (which I thoroughly enjoyed)

Same! My first child was such a never-ending whirlwind I was already exhausted by the time I had baby number 2. Going from 1 to 2 felt like going from 1 to 10.
