TTC again

megs2011

I think DH and I have decided to try for #3. I want to wait till Apr/May to start TTC, DH wants to start yesterday (we have almost 1yo twins and I think he's nuts). I am so nervous for what the next pregnancy will bring. I intro'd almost a year ago here when my girls were born. I developed Pre-E and HELLP which is why my girls came early. I am worried that it will happen again. I know every pregnancy is different but that lingers in the back of my mind.

This sounds like us except we only had my son. I want to try in April/may and dh is ready now. Our son will be two in June and he was over 8 weeks early due to pre-e. I'm very scared it will happen again but know we want another child. I think about it all the time when I think about another kid. I worry that the worry will ruin my pregnancy too :-(

Same here! I am just now ready to think about having another, and the fear of what could happen again is making me crazy. My H is all onboard and ready to go.

I also had pre-e and HELLP and I worry about future pregnancies. DD is only seven weeks (37 corrected), but I still worry about it now. We're still in NICU end so exhausted and stressed and frustrated and I can't imagine doing this again!

My DS just came home from the NICU and my husband and I trying to decide if we are done or not. He was born at 32 weeks due to me developing pre-e. Here's hoping none of us go through it again.

I guess this is something that goes through every preemie mom's mind. Mine were born at 34+4weeks and were only 2.9lbs and 3.7lbs. We were in the scn for 4 weeks before they came home. It was a sad 4 weeks for sure but I was happy my girls are fine. I really want another baby bc I don't feel done yet. I really hope we have full term pregnancies next round.

I'm the opposite, I'm ready for another but DH is a bit more hesitant.  We have some other reasons to be TTA right now, but I'm hoping this time next year that we'll be trying/pregnant.
