Do you have 2 or when will you have another baby?

Jackiemkn · May 2011

Our little man is sleeping thru the night at 7 weeks. Now I am thinking a sibling could be planned sooner than expected. When did you have a second baby or when do you plan to?

Yeah.... my baby also STTN at 8 weeks. Then at 4 months she decided to sleep was overrated and stayed up for two months. Give it sometime. Seriously.

I think you should GO for it.

Everyone knows that getting them to sleep through the night means you are ready for #2. Lucky for you that it happened so quickly!

DD STTN at 6w. DS decided he'd be different and waited until he was 15m.

Wait. Not to mention your body needs time to HEAL.

We started trying for #2 when DS1 was almost 2. They are 2 1/2 years apart. One's a great sleeper, one isn't.

Just FYI, having two is not twice as hard as having one. It's exponential - at least.

My 2nd isn't even here yet but just my experience with friend's kids and my nieces tells me this is truer than we can possibly convey to you.

Having two kids in diapers is super hard....but I think it all depends on what you want. If you want it bad enough, you can handle anything. That being said, wait until your son can crawl, and then babysit a 12-18 month old.....then re-evaluate the situation.....personally, I think your crazy

in a nice way.....

We have 2. We wanted a big family so as soon as the Dr. gave us the okay we started trying got #2. We are now trying for #3. DS sleeps through the night 95% of the time but not until he was about 19 months. DD still doesn't sleep through the night. They are a ton of work but I don't think 2 in diapers is that big of deal.

Mine are 23 months apart [they are now just 5 and almost 7]. #2 was not planned so to say. No morning sickness with #1 BUT with #2 I could not go out of the house for the 1st 3 months of the pregnancy b/c I was so sick. And it did not get much better thru the second trimester and still did not feel so great with in the 3rd. I literally could not wait to have him b/c I just wanted to feel A LITTLE like my old self.

So every pregnancy is different and it was not so much fun having a toddler and not being able to function.

They have TOTALLY different personalities even as babies they differed [and I mean opposite sides of the spectrum]. I am just glad the more "needy" one was my 1st because it would have been a lot harder if I had a toddler and baby as needy as my 1st at the same time.

And as some one else said it is not twice as hard having 2 it is exponentially harder. But if you are up for a challenge go for it.

I will go out on a limb and say if DD wasn't awesome at STTN, # 2 would have been put on hold because it does make a huge difference. That being said, these ladies are wise. You haven't seen crap yet.

FWIW, I am not planning to get pregnant any time soon. It's just that Isaac had a rough start and with all the night feedings it made me think I would NEVER add another baby to the mix. However, I really do want more children just not sure when. Some of you are very critical.....it's not oppinionated....it's harsh!

We don't have any kids yet, so take my advice with a handful of salt.

I think it depends on what you want for your family. We want a big family in a small amount of time. I'm 34 and want to be done having kids before I'm 40, so that will mean getting pregnant while the previous kid(s) are young. From that perspective No, I don't think you're crazy - so long as your OB has cleared you of course.

Of course, we can make as many plans as we want and it might not mean squat. We'll have to see what happens. GL!

Critical no, harsh no, truthful yes.
