Jackie O (real name Jackie Henderson) is talking about whether she’ll have a second child – and it’s a familiar dilemma for first-time mamas everywhere.
The 39-year-old radio host gave birth to her daughter Kitty (full name Catalina) in December, 2010, and she was conceived using IVF. This morning, Jackie’s opened up about whether she thinks she could survive having a second child.
“I feel really tired at the moment,” she said on her radio show, Kylie and Jackie O on 106.5 Kiis FM. “I’m not sure I could handle it. We (her and her husband) are in two minds.”
Jackie O got hitched to English photographer Lee Henderson in 2003, and they have a beautiful three-year-old daughter together. She’s previously said she and Lee wanted two children, but having survived the first round of human-making, she’s having second thoughts.
“Being pregnant and going through the first two years when they’re little bubs, it’s hard going,” she said. “Well, it was for us.”

I think unless you have been through the heart break of IVF people will never truly understand it. I had my son at 34 with IVF due to Male infertility. We had over 6 miscarriages trying for a baby and then trying for number 2. Its bloody hard. I takes a strong relationship to keep it together unlike fertile people. Yes I am bitter. We started in our late 20's. It had nothing to do with leaving it late. We love our son to the end of earth. But its hard watching him grow up as an only child when we both wanted 3. Which fertile people don't blink an eye over.
Each to their own I say! I have three littlies which, while perfect for me, might be way too many for some people and not enough for others. Only advice I would give someone who is um-ing and ah-ing over whether they want one or two, or two or three (as opposed to being dead certain on one or two) is the advice given to me: you'll never regret the children you do have, only the ones you don't.
24 hours with my mildly autistic 9 year old and that will cure anyone. I have no voice tonight because he has been defiant and talking back since I picked him up from school. If I had a choice I would not do it again, even though my second child is the sweetest, placid well behaved child ever. You dont know what you will get and its not just about how good of a parent you think you are going to be.
