I want to give birth
Ha - I was going to title this "I want to have a baby" but thought this was more fitting.
I just spent like an hour lurking on the Natural Birth board and it really made me want to have a homebirth. When (if?) we have another, that's definitely the direction I want to go and i get really excited thinking about it. Sadly, it probably won't be a reality until DH is done with school in 2.5 years 
How do you curb baby fever?
I feel like 4 years is the perfect spacing of babes, but 5 or 6 years? I feel like by that point I'd prob be over it and ready to be done lol.

Re: I want to give birth
I want to give birth, too, but I am not ready for a baby right now. I would LOVE a homebirth, but I have a long way to go to convince DH. I'm pretty sure he won't go for it. However, I will still be happy to see my midwife again. I loved her.
I've been telling my pregnant friends lately how much I loved L&D and they think I'm a nut
a video shared on the photog board gave me baby fever BAD. but i'm definitely nowhere near ready.
i guess for starters, don't visit that birthing board.
I said curb not encourage...lol
ETA: and ya you're totally right about the board! It wasn't that I set out to read it, I just noticed it was there so I needed to check it out. I was suprised at how active it is!
THIS! I don't want another baby right now, but I'd give birth every couple of months if there was a way to do it! Best. Orgasm. Ever.
I would love a home birth or water birth, but with the way my first two births went, I don't think it's an option for me.
I suck at curbing baby fever, which is why I had 2u2, lol. So no advice from me.
ETA: I totally felt this way about my first L&D: "As crazy as it sounds I LOVED labor and giving birth and it is the most beautiful, exhilarating, amazing things I have ever done and can't wait to experience it again!" When I was telling my mom that I was pregnant again, I kept saying I couldn't wait for L&D and she said "you are clearly your mother's child." My mom is hardcore... 3 induced VBACs with no pain meds.
hahah, i thought i took out the link quick enough. oops sorry.
Even if you have a BEAUTIFUL home birth with no complications and everything you wished for come true, you'll want to do it again. Maybe even more so. If you know what I mean

Haha, thanks for letting me know I'm not the only crazy out there who feels this way
I LOVED being very pregnant, childbirth, and those first few newborn weeks. My sister & I are 15 months apart and it was wonderful growing up that close to her, so I'm trying very, very hard to convince myself to wait to TTC. I'm starting grad school next month & don't get any maternity leave until I've been there 1 year...but I don't have to take summer classes to keep my funding either, so I'm fighting the urge to start trying again in October...
Everything is so exciting when you're one!
