Toddlers: 12 - 24 Months

If you are TTC #2 or thinking about it...

are you as nervous as I am??  I am so excited to get pregnant again (even though my first pregnancy was rough as you can get), but I am so nervous.  I am nervous about being sick again and not giving 110% to DS, I am nervous about how he will react to a new baby, I am nervous about the timing of a new baby.  Oh, and did I mention that we start trying this week??  Anyone with me?  Someone tell me to suck it up...please.

  • I am in the exact same boat plus worried how my sis will react when she finds out that I may be 7 or 8 months pregnant at her wedding in which I am the MOH.

  • Woo hoo!  We are starting in April and there are times when I think about it I get really nervous!  I had a great pregnancy with DD and she is pretty much perfect which scares me since I can't imagine a better pregnancy or baby.  I was very spoiled!  

    Good luck with trying...enjoy the process.  :)

  • I just want to tell you that I WAS nervous about all those things, especially since I had such severe m/s last time. I really didn't know what to do with a toddler while I was puking 24/7... Well, this time around my pregnancy has been drastically different! I feel great! So it may not be as bad as you expect! ;)
  • SUCK IT UP! Lol! I'm right there with you. I want to start trying again, and I have all of the same hang ups that you mentioned. I actually thought I was pregnant and took a test last week, but it was negative, and I must say I was a little bummed. I'm sure these thoughts run through a lot of people's minds, but we have enough love for as many babies as we decide to have, right!
  • I felt the same way when we began, but then I had an early loss at a 5-6 weeks in October.  It has made me realize that all of the m/s and the crazy balancing act will be worth it to have a healthy pg........

  • As insane as this might sound I think I am ready for #3! We were going to wait until next fall but I am starting to get the itch again. Organizing all of their baby clothes this last weekend didn't help either.
  • I am not TTC but thinking about it, and yes, I'm nervous about it too. I had a wonderful pregnancy/delivery overall with DD, and I'm nervous that the next one will be harder.

    I also sort of feel like I'll be betraying DD when I get pregnant with the next, which I know is CRAZY... but I feel like I'm taking a part of myself away from her, probably beginning right away with first tri sickness/fatigue.

    I want her to have siblings, but the thought of her feeling at all slighted or "less than" when there is a newborn in the house makes me want to cry right now.  :(

  • I go back and forth on this.  But, when I start getting nervous, I remind myself that I'm not getting any younger and am quite close to being stamped with the title of "advanced maternal age".

    This is what pushes me to start now.  I am 32, but we probably are going to have two more.

     This really did help you guys.  I appreciate it!  Especially radiokate!  I am so glad to hear your pregnancy is different!  That is my biggest fear...

  • we've been talking about it, but we won't even try until dd is 2, possibly 2.5.  I want my kids close-ish in age, but not too close.  Just thinking about it makes me a little nauseous though.  Hopefully i'll feel "ready" in 6 months!

  • We are nervous about TTC #2 too! That's why we havent yet decided when. Some weeks we are all about it and the next week we are all about one and done. We know we want DS to have a sibling and we wouldn't mind another LO, I loved being pregnant, but we have cold feet I guess. lol
