The decision to have another baby is for both of you to make together. It cannot be one-sided. If he wants the kid, then he needs to share the burden of pregnancy and child care. He also needs to cater to your needs and make sure you don’t burn out. From what you’ve described, you’re already burning out with 1 kid. Which then means that he’s not helping you enough to raise this first kid. My honest opinion is that both of you are not ready for the second one. And there’s absolutely no guilt or shame in that. With regards to sex, if you feel up to it, sure. But both of you will need to agree on no baby first, so that he uses protection, or you take meds for prevention.
