i always tot of trying for a baby girl when my BB is lik 2-3 yrs old.. (though nw BB still unborn yet la)

but i think hav to wait aft i give birth den confirm cause during my 1st 5mths preg, i told my hubby i dun wan a 2nd kid cos MS is v tough for me... aft tt, i told him that having 1 more kid is better cos can acc my 1st kid...

Recently, i got piles, den i told my hubby AGAIN that I dun wan a 2nd kid... HAHA...

Now i thinking of wanting a 2nd kid BUT i'm sure i will change my mind right aft i give birth...

Anyone wanna slap me like what my hubby feel like?? LOL

regina, MS is something u'll forget quickly. i had bad MS but i totally forgot liao.
you can do something about the piles before it gets worse.
start taking more fibre (fruits and vegetables). drink more water.
if u still hv problems with piles, ask doc for fibre drink (or can buy from pharmacy).
exercise ur anal muscles by squeezing and relaxing (start slow then go faster n more). it helps to build up the muscles and will also help when u deliver :)

me too.. i'm also hav the thought of having a no. 2 cos its always good for no. 1 becos he will hav a companion. but the prob is $. Cos recently I jus quitted my job to be a stay at home mum cos my bonding with my no1 not that close. He prefers my mil more than me when she's around but when she's not he wants me.

loonshi, my son's like tt too. prefers my mum to me. but i'm ok with it. cos at least he still noes tt i'm his mummy n when he is injured, he still runs to me for hug hug.
 
I think children will eventually look for mummy despite having other care givers. :)

Would like to heave #2 but there are so many factors to consider.
Age, finance, childcare, living conditions etc :xFor me my dd was sort of a surprise :x

I think it's also partially because I missed out some opportunities to care for dd between the 0-6 mth period :( Would like to use my experience for the next child.

agree! in SG, money is the main concern when it comes to "whether to have another kid" I once told my hubby, if we're really v rich, i dun mind having 4 kids... HAHA!!! but after preg, I told him, even if he's a millionaire, the max i want is 2.... cos can start to feel the "tiring" liao... haha!!

i oso wanted a big family but living std too ex liao... is more lively with a bigger family but being pregnant n doing confinement is a nitemare so ive stopped at juz 2 kids..
 
nope, i don't want no. 2. simply because:
1) i preffer to be in control of my life and have things planned. i would like to give the best for my precious baby and give all my attention, time and focus to him/her.

2) i grew up experiencing siblings rivalry so i'm not close to my brother nor sister.

3) my baby will have friends once he/she goes to school and he/she have cousins so not worried he/she will be lonely.

4) though i have more than enough funds for 1 or 2 more babies, i'd preffer to save more rather than have just-enough every month. i'm the kind of person who must have financial security on top of everything.

5) the nausea-but-hungry-all-the-time feeling drives me nuts. lately i kept vomitting even though my first trisemester is ending. became insomniac and breathless since 6weeks pregnant. giddy spells 24hr. all this is enough to convince me i'n NOT gonna go through this the 2nd time.

this is just my personal thoughts, doesn't mean i don't enocourage others to have more babies..

I did ... and now even #3 is coming! :p

My first one was really easy to take care, she's a lovely girl, easy to please and slept through the night after 2 mths old. So we thot having #2 would be good and she's born when my #1 was 2yo. But my #2 was tougher to take care. At one point, I wonder why did I hv #2 ??? Now that they are 6 and 4yo, things are so much easier. They can play by themselves and getting more independent. Then #3 is conceived, but I'm sure this is definitely going to be my last. I dont think we hv energy for more! :p

I'd love to have 3 kids max - this was before I delivered my first...but now, (maybe it's still early days), sometimes I tell my hubby that I'm reconsidering even having a second one (because of the move from Switzerland to France than to Singapore and all).

But I don't know really - it's hard to say, for us and me especially, if I don't want any more or if I want more. We'll see when the time comes - that's the policy I am adopting now.
