How can a couple tell when they’re ready for another baby?
Cupid’s Advice:
A baby brings a couple joy and strength in their relationship, but also a higher level of responsibility and stress. Â So, how do you know when you’re ready to bring another bundle of joy into your family’s life? Â Cupid offers some advice:
1. Ask yourself questions: Before planning a pregnancy, you should ask yourself, “Why do I want this baby?,” Â “How will this baby affect our lives?” and “Are we ready for this change?” Â If honest answers to these questions from you or your partner seem convoluted, you should consider waiting until your lives and relationship are in a more stable place.
2. Consider economics: According to the Wall Street Journal, the average cost of raising a child today is over $225,000. Â You and your partner should consider whether you’re financially stable enough and can provide a good life for yourselves, your other child or children and the new baby before considering having another.
3. Keep family in mind: The most important thing for you to consider in this decision is your other child or children. Â Are they happy, healthy and stable? Â Will you have enough time, money and attention for all your children? Â You should also consider other family members, such as siblings and parents, and whether they will be available to help you and your partner with your new bundle of joy.
