After having your first, did you change your mind on how many children you and DH want to have?
DH and I decided early on in our marriage, before ttc, that we just wanted one child. Now that we have DS, I keep thinking about a second child. DS is great and I can't help but think I might want to experience this all over again. At the same time, I know I won't be able to give a second child what I am giving DS. I won't be able to stay home for a year, and I probably won't be able to breastfeed past my maternity leave with the second one. I also had an awful pregnancy and I worry about ending up with the same complications the second time around. I asked DH what he thinks about a second child and he isn't keen on the idea. His biggest problem is dealing with another bad pregnancy.

I had the pregnancy from hell the first time, and the second was really easy. Don't expect all of them to be the same.
After my first I decided I wanted a HUGE family. After the second we have both decided that 4 would be our max.
