DD2 was an unexpected surprise. I was still nursing DD1 and on the pill and we weren't trying. Now I am paranoid about getting pregnant again. I don't know if I want 3 and am definitely not ready considering I have a toddler and a 4 month old already.
I am still making DH were condoms and I am on the pill. I just don't want to risk it. Will my fears ever go away?
Re: Anyone paranoid about getting pregnant again?
I was. DD was an IVF baby and then I got pregnant with DS when she was 7 months old (not trying, though we weren't using BC). After I had DS I had a Mirena inserted at my 6 week post pardum visit because I was paranoid. My husband deployed when my DS was 6 months old and we knew that was coming up. I couldn't risk being pregnant with a newborn and a toddler.
If you are worried, get an IUD. You can still nurse and it is more effective than the mini pill.

No more TTC for us. We are done, and at peace, as a family of 4.

Not as paranoid as DH is!
Obviously, we don't want a third just yet...
I am nursing, and plan on getting on the mini pill at my 6 week PP appointment. I'll have DH use condoms for a month or so once that happens, just to be sure the pill is working. I am scared to get pregnant again so quickly, but I am also scared of it being hard to get pregnant again too.
ME! *raises hand* lol
I am totally paranoid about it - not sure if we will have a 3rd, but definitely not ready right now. We were blessed to have such an easy time conceiving, weren't "trying" either time but weren't trying not to either.
I have been on the mini pill since 6wk pp appt, and made DH wear a condom for the first month I was on it. But yes, I admit it - still paranoid. haha
