The thing is:
- Guys don't get asked this question, which implies that women only want babies and it's all we think about. Recently when I announced I had "good news" people immediately guessed "Oh you are pregnant". No, I bought a house, which I think is good news anyway.
- Not all women want babies and some couples only want one baby.
- Some women have tremendous difficulties conceiving and asking someone when they are going to have a baby when they are desperately trying is not going to make them feel very good.
The truth is, I don't know if there will be a second child. With Meniere's Disease I am on medication that has not been trialled enough in pregnancies. So it depends if I can wean myself off the medication and remain vertigo attack free.
I suddenly find myself jealous of people who are pregnant or who can be pregnant. I actually never wanted children close together and even without the Meniere's Disease I would not consider a second child yet. But having the choice possibly removed from me is a very hard place to be.

I'm not sure if it is because Katya is older than Maya, but people usually ask 'if we are planning to have another one'
