Hello mummy, anyone could share when u will start planning for 2nd child? How and where u got the courage to have 2nd child? As i know there is so much time and effort needed to take care of a baby. If I have 2nd child. i'm worried i will not be able to cope which is why it stops me from having 2nd baby.

I started trying for my second child when my firstborn had started walking and able to communicate with me her basic needs and understands us. The thoughts of having the number of children was determined before marriage as we had to plan our finances and how are we going to bring up our children. Along the way we also explored how to keep the firstborn entertained and taught before I got pregnant just so that she would not feel left out and something was out of the ordinary. We also had to speak and teach the same discipline in preparing her for sibling. We do not believe in buying gifts and tell her is from her sibling but taught her and guided her on how to embrace a new addition to our family. Besides that we also had to look into the caregiving support. Do we have the means to care for 2 children at the same time or the eldest had to be childcare so that the focus can be on the newborn? Are there any help you can get should you need to return to work or care for the child should the child fall sick? IF accident happens, just embrace the pregnancy and take things as it comes.
