If you have been dreaming of little mittens and booties again, it’s a good idea to speak to your partner about it now. A heart-to-heart chat about you wanting to bring a little one and their views on it is important. For a happy family, the two of you should agree on wanting to expand your family is necessary.
2. Are your children ready for a sibling?
It is true that growing up with siblings has its advantages. But preparing your kid(s) for a new baby is also important. Some children are very keen on having a little brother or sister while others might be apprehensive at the idea of sharing their mums and dads with someone else. In either case, if the child is old enough to talk, you should sit them down and tell them how nice it would be for them to have a baby brother or sister at home.
3. Do you have a strong support system?
Managing a new baby along with other kid(s) in the house can be somewhat difficult if you don’t have someone to help you out. The support can be from a spouse, parents, in-laws, or even hired help. Before you plan the baby, it is advisable that you plan ahead about who all will help you as you go through pregnancy and childbirth.
4. Are you medically fit to handle another pregnancy?
Pregnancy and childbirth can take its toll on your body. Before you go for another pregnancy, your body needs time to recover. Ask your medical practitioner if you are fit for carrying a baby to ensure a healthy pregnancy. You need to be in the best of your health to have a happy pregnancy which you can enjoy with your kid(s) before a new baby comes along!
5. Are you mentally prepared?
