Episode 61 - Why I am scared to have another baby!

from The Pooch

Why am I scared to have another baby?In this deeply personal episode, I share the fears I have around growing our family and why the decision feels heavier than I expected. From postpartum body image struggles and identity loss to mental health concerns, sleep deprivation, and the emotional toll of motherhood, I unpack what is really sitting underneath the surface.Three years after my last baby, I am still navigating the changes motherhood brought to my body, my mind, and my sense of self. The thought of going back to newborn life brings up fear, guilt, grief, and confusion. I know I am not the only mum who feels this tension between wanting another baby and wanting to protect the version of herself she has fought hard to rebuild.If you are wrestling with the decision to have another child, feeling overwhelmed by mum life, or questioning how much more you can give without losing yourself again, this episode will remind you that your fears are valid and you are not alone.
