My daughter is three and I only really felt myself in my body maybe last year. I really want to give her a sibling but the thought of feeling that your body is not yours/ you don't recognise it anymore is scary. it will happen but the thought of knowing how postpartum goes, is a hard hurdle to overcome to start all again!
I get that. I don’t think I felt it until my son turned 3… which coincided with him finally sleeping.
For me, I find comfort in knowing how I don’t want to feel. What can I control this time that I didn’t consider the first time? And what’s important to you and your health/mental health?
That’s so true (that you know what you don’t want to feel) or even just knowing the process now and not going in blind like a first-time parent. Thank you! It is comforting knowing that you and others feel the same! :)

I completely relate to this. It’s reassuring to know that others have had similar experiences. Thank you for sharing! :)
