I always saw myself as having 2 children but when life didn't go to plan I found myself questioning whether to have another baby and a younger sibling for Savannah.

As a solo mum I had additional factors to consider and I talk through my thought process and ultimately my decision. I also hear from other solo mums about their considerations and their ultimate decision on whether to have another child.
