DH wants to TTC?

BabyHope2013

I was planning on waiting until Christmas to start TTC this year. But for the last week DH keeps bringing up that he really wants to try for another now. We were lucky to get pregnant our first month trying last time---and I know it may not be that easy the second time around. I am really enjoying my time with DS and don't want to take that time away from him. 

I am also nervous about how I am going to manage a second child. I feel like I am running on "E" now with all the chores, errands, work and taking care of DS. I am also not looking forward to having morning sickness and being so tired in the first trimester while chasing and rationalizing with a toddler. I know I want another child for sure. Just not sure if the timing is right. Was hoping to move up in my career in between kids---but that may never happen. DH keeps telling me that the timing may never be right, but I don't know. 

Anyone else in a similar boat? Or were you before having a second or third kid? I always thought I would have to be the one pressuring DH to have a second before he would be asking.

Right there with you. DH would have 10 kids if I would let him. I am also drowning and exhausted....and kind if selfishly really enjoying this time with DD.

We also got pregnant very quickly. And, I had wicked m/s last time. I barely made it through work, don't know how I would handle it with a toddler!

I definitely want 1-2 more, but not today:)

Those were exactly my concerns and also the age factor.  I'm 34 so I knew I didn't want to wait to long.  Last time I got pregnant 2 months after I stopped taking the pill that I wasn't sure if it would happen again so quickly.  Yeah, it did, even quicker this time.  When I first found out I was pregnant I had all these insecurities https://forums.thebump.com/discussion/12389264/did-you-feel-this-way#latest but now, I'm excited and I'm handling m/s and tiredness ok so far.  I'm lucky that I have DH to pick up the slack when I just can't.  Good luck in whatever you decide!

If DH were to tell me tomorrow, hey let's have another baby now... 

"I'd be like stfu we're not having this conversation."

And then I'd change the subject.
