Deciding whether to have another child is a tricky calculation, and a choice that many parents spend time wrestling with. Ultimately, you and your partner, are the only ones qualified to make this decision.
Some say deciding to have a second child is even harder than deciding whether to have a first because you are not just talking about having a baby...you are talking about changing a family dynamic. A new baby requires all of your time and attention, but remember your older child will need your attention too, so you should think about how it will affect the time you will be spending with them. Bringing up a child can be quite demanding, so much so that you might not even want to think about another baby. Because let's face it, we are no royalty or celebrity, surrounded by many nannies. To be ready for baby no.2.. here is what you need to consider.
The ideal optimum age gap between two siblings should be 3 to 5 years. Assess your physical recovery after first pregnancy and whether you are physically and mentally prepared for raising another child! Evaluate if you are taking decision only out of peer or family pressure. Whether you are ready to bear additional expenses and analyse if you are ready with good financial backup.
Plan another child only if you have the ability and eagerness to pour your unconditional love to the child. Don't do it to prove anyone or achieve some goal.
