I told my dr I would be pg again in 6 months at my 6 week follow up appt and he nearly fell off his chair. i guess he doesn't get that too much. Pg is pretty easy on me, no ms, little to no discomfort, even after going overdue. I can sleep fine too. I already have 3 girls and would love to try for a boy. i like even numbers either way. Just have to get DH on board and that isn't going to happen in the first 3 months. He HATES the sound of a crying baby, it is like nails on chalkboard to him. I need to get baby out of the "newborn" stage and then hopefully he will forget the cry and want another one.
My SIL had 2 in under a year and both by cs. then had another one shortly after. So a total of 27 months between cs #1 and #3 (they were all premies too). A little too crazy for me
If it weren't for money, daycare etc I would try to get pregnant this August..I threw up every single day of my pregnancy but my baby girl is worth every moment of it. We nurse and supplement with breast milk, she sleeps from 9pm-3am and 3:30am-7am two naps during the day...Shes only really fussy when it is warranted hungry, tired, diaper. I hate that money has to rule our lives and these decisions. I really want another one within two years though.
Together happily for 7 years, Married March 2012--Buckle up!
Soooo not ready. Not sure if we will have more than one....for a number of reasons. 1. My age
2. Money
3. I love my LO more than life itself but she is VERY demanding. Maybe things will get better as she gets older but right now she is super fussy and I can't imagine dealing with her and another newborn. Wow!
I *loved* pregnancy. Minor morning sickness, some back and hip pain towards the end, but overall a GREAT pregnancy. I know there's a chance it won't happen with subsequent babies, but I can hope! I would love to be pg again (and told FI this haha), but I don't want to go through with childbirth (gah) or the newborn phase. Or 2 under 2.
I love being pregnant but if I found out I was right now I would hide in my room and cry.
I agree with this. I want to have another baby asap, but at the same time I think I would lose it with LO being so young and being pregnant. Also what PP said, if we had the money I think I definitely would before the end of this year. But for now we are shooting for December 2014.
I have been having crazy "I want to be pregnant again right now!" moments lately. However, my very practical side says it's not fair to my body or my baby. Instead I'll just enjoy being a new mommy and loving my sweet girl. I am pretty excited about giving her a sibling in the future though :
I am not quite ready, but we are planning to have a second and don't want to wait too long, becaue I don't want to be much older (I'm 35, I'll be 36 in October). Our plan is to start trying again in October. I already know that I will have a scheduled c section, so I'll have my tubes tied during the cs, and we'll be done.
DD is our second and everything has been so much easier this time. If I could have another baby just like her I would consider it, but I'm pretty sure 2 will be our number unless something unexpected happens.
No...nope...no... Wouldn't be able to handle it.
Maybe in a few years...
But lets start with not being in pain and having a desire to have sex again. My poor DH...
I would be shocked as heck since my hubby had almost no sperm count and the baby I just had was conceived with donor sperm... I guess once I woke up from the passing out, I'd be ok with it, even though I wasn't planning on having any more.
I can't wait to start trying again even though I hated pregnancy. But I need to save some money and lose about 40 lbs. I think we will start trying again in April when LO turns 1.
I would freak out at first for sure! We want another soon, but I would like at least a few months of semi regular sleep before dealing with pregnancy exhaustion again. I turn 30 in December and would love to start trying for our second around then.
I would love it but since I had my tubes tied its not going to happen. I already have 3 kids and am currently 36 so I felt I was done having babies. Part of me wishes I could have had just one more. DH says he was done at two kids so he would have never been on the 4th baby bandwagon.
I'm honestly not sure how I'd react. With our IF history, I'd be pretty shocked, for sure. I'm 36, so if we do have another, it'll have to be relatively soon, but it'd put a huge burden on us financially and we'd have some serious decision making to do.
Yea...waaaaay too soon for me. We are still undecided on a 3rd, but my 2nd pregnancy was tougher than my first and my son got less attention because of it. I can't imagine putting my brand new daughter on the back burner, so to speak, with another pregnancy. Although we may have another in a couple years the kids I already have need my attention now.
And the sleep. Oh how I miss the sleep.
all of this!

There's a reason I haven't had sex yet; the only 100% way to prevent pregnancy is abstinence, and we are seriously not ready for even the possibility of conceiving again. We'll see how we feel after a year or two (hopefully, I can start charting again so I don't have to wait over a year to have sex again).

aw. hell. no.
no, actually LO has been so incredibly easy so far that I might *not* jump off a cliff
This. Plus I am shooting for a VBAC and I don't want any complications.
Maybe in a few years...
