starting to THINK about baby #2
thinking being the key word.... we would like to have another but most likely not even try for at least a year. who knows.
i feel horrible but i just cannot even stomach the thought of being pregnant and having m/s with a toddler.
i was SOOOOO sick. on zofran, and still throwing up, from 6 weeks - 20 weeks. some days i couldnt even function. this scares me when thinking about doing it over again.
i guess i can hope that the next baby wont make me so sick.

Re: starting to THINK about baby #2
Every pregnancy is different, right? You might not get sick.
We were talking about baby #2 last night. I said something about trying in January, but DH wants to wait a few months longer. He wants DC #2 to have a birthday towards the spring/summer, just because we are all clustered - DH is Oct. 30, DD is Nov. 3, and I'm Dec. 6.
I had no m/s with B, and with this one, I did. They are all different. My biggest trouble so far has been the exhaustion and running after a 2 year old. It has been do-able, but I think that was worse than the morning sickness.
I dont think there is really a good time to have a second. I have two older ones and they each have there own issues that come with age. The 2 year old has all the energy, the 13 year old knows it all, and the 11 year old is just getting her fabulous attitude.
This preg has pretty much been the same so far and it really hasn't been too bad. Yes I am tired and it is hard to chase after a crazy 14 month old, but I really think it would be hard no matter what age he is. Yes maybe at 2 or 3 he will be more independent but then he could be going through the terrible 2's or 3's. You just never know what is going to happen.
JUST GO FOR IT!!!
I got lucky that I didn't have any m/s with DS but I did prepare myself for the worst since my mom had the worst m/s with me for whole 40weeks and even till she got PG with my brother 1 1/2 later...
So expecting the worst DH and I both did detox with SmartClense (no chemicals, all natural) cut out all caffine, no alcohol, 6months before we started to try to concieve.... I don't know if I got lucky or all that really did help but yup! never felt better! DH even joked that I was less sick after I got PG.
that being said, we are planning to start trying for #2 around next March so after the holidays we are going to do the same thing and hope that I get lucky the second time. and hope that DS is cooperative
so you might want to try that, it's not harsh at all and you can buy it online or at Mother's Market.
Good Luck!
we will not be trying again for at least a year, it is not possible before then...for many reasons.
i know everyone says you forget about the difficult pregnany stuff but i disagree. delivery, yes. vomitting and going to the ER many times, no.
My girlfriend was the same so she actually waited till she was ready. She decided to get PG when her son was 3 1/2 years old. She is due in the next few weeks and her son is 4 now.
She definitely hasn't had a smooth PG, but it has been great with her son's age. He has been so helpful to her and going to preschool was a great thing during the first tri for her.
You can never plan and never know what to expect. I have had 3 great PGs, so I can't even imagine what you went though. I bet it was just awful. I did have some really bad nauseau this time around, but thankfully it didn't last throughout.
But I can't wait to hear you announce when you are!
I know you don't forget but it is all so worth it. I mean look at the outcome of all of that, your adorable little piggy!!! Believe me I have no forgotten what we all went through to get Kaden here and keep him here, but I am ready to do it all over again for another one. You will know when you are ready, I just hope it's sooner than later.
Go for it! Every pregnancy is different. My first I was not sick at all (ended in m/c), with Keira I was sick from the start until about 13 weeks. I'm scared of going through another miscarriage or difficulties while having a newborn.
I went in for the 6 wk check with the OB yesterday and DH and I had to decide if we are having another one right away or waiting a bit. Before Keira, we wanted kinds not too far apart but now I need at least a year or two to get my body and mind back in shape. So it's still up in the air.
I think when you are ready, you will know. For now, it's great that you get to devote even more time to DJ!
ms with a toddler SUCKED!! ms wasn't bad w/ryan, but w/ this one it was bad, but thankfully only last about 2 months. i basically watched ryan from our couch and he got to watch A LOT more tv than i normally would allow!
if it makes you feel any better though my sil was sick as a dog with her 1st and had NO ms with her 2nd so you just never know!
