Mum says no its hard work, n j may have a c section again then who will look after my 3 year old wen im in hospital. My hubby is not hand on and helpful more hands off and hindrance. He wants a second but my mum does not.

    Having another child is a decision that only you and your husband can make UNLESS you are living with your mother (at which she should have some say to whether or not she wants another baby in her house).

    Now if you have had a C-section the first time, it is likely you'll need another one for the second - but that doesn't mean you WILL - it's just a higher percentage chance.

    I am trying to decide rather or not to have another child as well. My husband is super helpful but I'm worried having another child will be too much for him even though he wants another child. If your fine with your husband not being that helpful and you are sure you can handle both of the kids ten go for it. Your mother has no say so

    I'm sorry, but who's life is it? Your mom has no say.

    I just had my 2nd and have a 3 year old too. It's not that much harder than it was before, but it's also something I wanted.

    Well, It's not your mother who will be carrying the baby. And It's not her who will be fathering the child. You are a grown woman, and your husband is also grown. You and your husband make the decision, not her.

    No. Its simply because of your childs age and everything. Plus studies show youll most likley be depressed with your 2nd.
