I'm after people's Frank experiences please.
I have one 5yr old, who I had when I was mid 30's.
Now fast approaching 40, my hip and back constantly ache, i have Reynaud's, but also contemplating trying again, though I'm worried how knackered and worn out I am going to feel a second time round - both ohysically and mentally - as I've gotten older.
I have given a lot of energy to my first - which I have loved. I'm not sure how I will fair again, and this is making me hesitate on whether to take the plunge or not.
I would welcome some input please.
Thanks
Hello I had my first just turning 22 and then another at 28 and last one at 29 I always said none after 30 so got last 2 out way with 15 month gap before I was 30. I'm 33 now and I am tired and shattered lol my back aches I have low energy I defo couldn't have more. They are nearly 12,6 and one is 5 in August. I'm enjoying watching them grow and getting to the easier stage as two little just drained me it's been wild middle child has adhd too. I find it hard work I work part time now school hours stayed home till all in school and I do house keeping so very tiring job. I drop them off at 8.50 start at 9 and finish 2 grab some lunch then do school run which is hour journey as 2 in primary and one high school in 2 areas. I'm shattered lol. I defo couldn't go back to baby stage even though babies easy it's from 18 months it's hard. Didn't wwnt to be the older parent doing school runs still all mine be in high school by time I'm 40 and hopefully get my life together a bit snd get some time back haha partner works 12 hour nights so in bed all day so indo everything. But it's how you feel you don't want to regret anything xx
