This has been very helpful. It is a very tough decision to make. Having another baby is scary!

Really glad to have read this. I've had a lot of friends really confused about expanding their family, and I'm sure they'll be more enlightened after this.

Reading this just helped me and my fiance decide on haveing ohr second child, all of the factors can be overwhelming but there are so many positives and it would be great for our daughter tohave a sibiling close to her age, i think it helps with some issues that only children develop.

Some what helpful. I find it hard to decide, not because I don't want any but for the fact that I have a 5 year old step son. I worry how it would effect him as well as my relationship with my partner. Any advice?

Goodness, still struggling with this, just can't decide. Some days I do some days I don't. We now just have a great life with our 3.5 year old and more freedom, not sure I want to go down the baby route again, but then if we did we probably wouldn't want it anyother way aaargh....40 now, so pressure is on!Husband is the same....help....
