Mothers of two? Or more?
I'm 20 I've been married for almost 3 years with my husband for almost 6 years together. I'm a stay at home mom, We have a 19 month old, we Arnt into drugs or anything parties Arnt our thing, we are good Christians, we pretty much are pretty mature for our ages we value family to the highest and know what we are blessed with. Anyways we aren't struggling my husband is a very hard worker we can afford another one we have space he's ready, I'm almost "ready" but I'm scared of being a mother to two kids, we've always said we only want two. There's no rush or anything I know that and we arnt. I guess I'm just scared of the responsibilities of two how hard it'll be, so I'm wondering what fears you had & if you've already got more then one what's it like? I know I'm young. It's really not a factor I have absolutely no desire to travel or go to parties "do things we couldn't without one" family is most important to us. Also, did you breast feed or do formula? I breast feed for 14 months but think I'm going to do formula this time .pa

I have 5 lol, so I know what you're going through! 2 is different than 1, but in my opinion, it's better. It's great to see your children bond, and now they'll each have a playmate. If you got pregnant right now, your kids would be 2 years 4 months apart, which is a great age gap (my first two were 2 years 3 months apart). It'll be nice because they'll be close in age but not so close that you have two babies at the same time. If you and your husband really want another, then I think you should have one!

Edit: I breastfed for the first couple months with each, and then switched to formula. It's great for a while, but I couldn't do it for more than a few months with each.

I'd space them at least three years apart, so maybe wait a few more months before trying. Three years is easier, so at least the first one is mostly out of diapers before you have the second one. I think in another eight months you'll have a better idea if you're ready to go for it yet. You don't have to make a decision now. And breast is best, so please breast feed each of your children.

Having two isn't really all that much more work than one. They can play together. Go ahead and breast feed the next one too. You'll be glad you did!
