Anyone ready for the next baby?
I might be crazy but I think we will discuss at our 6 wk appt.

ucfsteph12262003 · May 2011

I honestly feel like I could handle having another baby, its pregnancy that I don't want to deal with again, immediately. LO definitely will not be an only child and I know it was nice when my brother and I were so close in age growing up (we are 11 months apart). If you are up to it, GO FOR IT!!!

Scout05 · May 2011

I would rather be run over by a garbage truck after its last pick-up.

That's just me though. It's been two years of non-stop TTC and loss, followed by a high-risk pregnancy, followed by my gorgeous daughter who I love more than anything but that doesn't mean Mommy isn't really tired and really overwhlemed sometimes.

I'm looking forward to getting back to sex for fun and moments w/ my husband that aren't consumed with our fertility and grief. I'm not really sure I'll ever do this again, so I'm just enjoying every single second of DD's babyhood. It's already going by too fast, and I worked too hard to get here to miss any of it.

htuzzi324 · May 2011

I'm ready for another. I know I could handle it. But the more I think about it, the more I want this one out of diapers before we have another. Plus I don't want to miss any big milestones in his life, or not give them my best enthusiasm, because I have m/s, am uncomfortable...the list goes on.

OMG yes! I have no desire to go through pregnancy, childbirth, or the newborn phase ever again. I was a miserable pregnant woman, my epi wore off & I felt everything during LO's birth, and in the last month I've had multiple mental breakdowns. I don't know that I will ever be ready for a 2nd.

RJHarmon · May 2011

2u2 is tough! I am definitely not ready to try again until DS is 2. With that said, I already miss being pregnant really bad! My pregnancies were far from easy, but I think it is such an amazing thing that it makes me very sad to know that I only get to do it so many times.

AllysonKG · May 2011

I have my 6 week pp visit today and I'm going to talk to my OB about what's ideal timing for a second pregnancy after this one. I don't think we'll start ttc right now but probably within the next few months. I may sound crazy too, but I can't wait to do it again!

LadyXaverian · May 2011

No way! I had my 6 week pp today, and my OB suggested we not make any decisions right now either way because it's hard to think rationally this soon lol!

DH and I will discuss the possibility of TTC #2 a year from now.

LittleDelany · May 2011

We'll try for #2 around D's first birthday. Maybe a little sooner

Ditto- I think we'll start talking about it a year from now. I want to enjoy the first year of milestones with Evie undistracted.

rroyce151 · May 2011

I really do want to have them very close together. Perhaps I've lost my mind but we are working on getting me to SAHM point right now - if we can get there financially I think we will go ahead with #2.

circe811 · May 2011

Oh God no. This newborn stage is HARD! I'll be lucky to convince my husband (and myself) to have a second in 3-4 years.

mrs.monica · May 2011

not this early!! If it was up to me, I want another in a couple years...but DH said no way! We had SIFand losses so we are pretty scarred and need to get back our normal intimacy before we go back to timing, shots, tests...etc

ManiacMcGee · May 2011

Hell to the no.

RunningGal900 · May 2011

Not for at least a year. I had an easy pregnancy and childbirth, but the thought of taking care of a newborn on top of an 18 month (or so) old gives me hives. I want three and have no doubt we will have more, but not right away. I want to give DS my full attention before thinking about another.

MissLadyTay · May 2011

Oh hellz no. I want to give each baby as much of my full attention as possible. I don't feel I could do that for the next baby if DS was still super young and dependent. We won't TTC #2 until DS is at least two. Plus, for financial reasons and career reasons we want at least three years between them.

Nechie122 · May 2011

The only thing I will discuss at my 6w PP appointment is an IUD.

ckolak · May 2011

I am so glad I never have to be pregnant again. I do not like pregnancy. DD's birth was beautiful and perfect and I wouldn't change it at all, but if we want more kids someone else can grow and birththem and we'll adopt them.

This! We're not planning for a second until after we get married next September (2012). We're both petrified about getting pregnant right away. Not because I had a hard pregnancy, but because we can't imagine having two. One is enough at this point lol!

yesthisiskim · May 2011

Mentally I'm ready to TTC. Financially we are not. We are going to wait until Aubrey is 2 (and out of diapers) to TTC again. I also want to give my first baby all the time and attention in the world and I know I couldn't do so if I was pg. But I loved being pg and I can't wait to do it all (except the epidural) again!

MrsLCH · May 2011

Hell no! Parenthood is so hard. I need a nice long break before I do the newborn thing again.

AB&TB · May 2011

Talk like this is how I ended up with our baby #3. DD1 and DD2 are 12.5 months apart. It is really hard, much harder than it was with DS & DD1 who are 20 months apart. I do not want any more babies a year apart. It is just too close together. We will start thinking about TTC #4 around DD2's birthday. That is a really good spacing, imo.

Babydust08 · May 2011

Not even talking about it yet...but will probably wait at least a year because I want them somewhat close in age but not TOO close

cpb79 · May 2011

We are waiting till next August but that's because I'm a teacher and I've almost burned through my time off with DS. If we concieve right away I will only need a few weeks or none at all off.

GHBEA · May 2011

My OB said wait a year. We are going to TTC when Olivia is 9 months we want them close in age.

kattmurphy · May 2011

ManiacMcGee:
Hell to the no.

This!! I NEVER want to experience childbirth EVER again !

willowprincess · May 2011

i am so ready for another baby. i hated being pregnant but i love being a mommy. we are not on bc right now so here's hoping. (i know, i'm crazy right?)

this. i had a really easy pregnancy until the very end, but a miserable delivery and i am EXHAUSTED. the baby was waking up every hour the other night, and i told dh there's no way we're ever doing this again. (which isn't true, but it's going to be a pretty long time)

kje120 · May 2011

As tired as I am right now I can't imagine dealing with a 1 yr old and an infant.

MG7 · May 2011

I like that there are exactly 3 years in between both of my boys. Sawyer is very independent and he has had a fantastic transition into big brotherhood. I had my 6 week appt (a bit late) today and was so bummed to talk about DH getting the big V when I'm finally ready to accept that Hudson will be our last baby.

I love our family the way it is but at the same time I'm devastated that I'll never be pregnant again.

jteneback · May 2011

We go back and forth. I think we will talk about when DD is 9 months and see how we feel then.

KERJF · May 2011

i LOVED being pregnant - very easy pregnancy. and it will be fun to be pregnant again and have another some day

just not right away

deeyorn3 · May 2011

sorry, my baby making factory is closed. this was my 3rd child, and i couldn't imagine having anymore. I just wanted to comment on trying to have kids close together, that was my plan after i had my ds 12 years ago.. i tryed to get pregnant a year after i had him, so that way i could have my kids close together, well that didn't happen, it took another 4 1/2 years to conceive my #2.. and another 6 years after her for my #3.. so my kids are 5 to 6 years apart. just wanted to point out that even if you want another baby just so your kids can grow up together, it doesn't always work out that way.

This! I actually love the 5 year gap between our kiddos. Jaelynn is such a big helper, and I am so thankful I got to enjoy every single one of her milestones without being "distracted" by another baby. Now that she is getting older I can focus a lot of my attention on the baby and all of his milestones, and she's just as excited about all the little things he is learning to do too.

I can't imagine having another baby anytime soon, if ever, but I certainly am missing the thought of having another baby. I love them.

cicenhow · May 2011

I would do it all over again. I had no complaints or complications during my pregnancy and my LO is the best any one could ask for, or so i've heard, he doesn't cry that much only when he is hungry or needs his butt changed.

lylahlove · May 2011

Wow, good for you! We're going to try for #2 when our little guy is 1.

MegZRN · May 2011

ManiacMcGee:
Hell to the no.

Uh exactly!

handsonthewheel · May 2011

Definitely not anytime soon! We are thinking we would like to have a second but I definitely want this LO out of diapers before the next one comes along, plus I need to have my gallbladder removed before I could even consider a second pregnancy...this pregnancy took its toll on my gallbladder and liver and there is no way I will get pregnant again before I sort those problems out! We will not even discuss a second until this LO turns 2, but ideally she would be 3 or even 4 before the next one was born.

patientblueeyes1980 · May 2011

We are both not getting any younger. We are going to talk to our OB about it on Friday. Our hope is to have them a year apart.

Ciaram22 · May 2011

I'm not even thinking about a second one until after all of DS surgeries are done. His palate repair will be right around his first birthday and even then I may not be ready.

smit3807 · May 2011

We will probably start trying again next spring. We want one or two more. Of course, with our track record, one could turn into two:) Since we might only have one more, I don't want that baby to be too much younger than the twins.
