Thinking about having another baby but...

My husband told me last night that he wants for us to have another baby so our daughter who is now 2 will have a sibling. I am fine with having only 1 more but the biggest issue that is keeping me from saying yes is I am worried about how my body will look after having a second child. I had to have a c section with my daughter because her heart rate kept dropping when I would push. I have a little belly pooch now from the c section and my stomach is not flat like it was before I got pregnant. Now I am afraid that if I have another baby it will make it even worse. Have you ever thought about that or has that delayed your decision to have another baby. Thanks for your answers and advice.

Hi There Victoria,


I think that we all have body issues in one form or another. The funny thing is that things that seem to bug us, others don't even notice.


I understand that you are concerned about your body changing, truth is that age changes our body as well. It's just a fact of life and we let our insecurities get in the way, we might not ever accomplish great things.


Love your body! Accept the things you can't change.

Hi Victoria, I am just past my due date and patiently waiting on her arrival, however, let me tell you I had a flat stomach and weighed in at around 120lbs before I was pregnant. I am just now starting to get stretch marks in my final week! I literally cried! Its something we all worry about as women. Our bodies not being what they were. However, my usually tells you the honest truth DH says I look more beautiful now than ever. I fear C-section, scars, keeping weight on, and stretch marks, but would that stop me from maybe having another child in the future.. no. (Aside from the fact I only want one child to begin with). Children are a blessing either way. Your DH loves you for you, not how your body looks. and I am sure proper diet, exercise, and lots of fun playtime can help you get rid of the pooch. :) and i've heard breast feeding helps.


I wouldnt delay having another, just work on yourself afterwords and you should be fine. :) I agree with Tammy. Love your body and accept the things you cant change. You wont be young forever and weight is bound to sneak up on us all one day, its all in how you handle it before, during, and after that counts!
