Is everyone pregnant with their 2nd LO? Am I the only one who isnt?

truelovers4ever · August 2011

I feel like everyone on here is pregnant with their 2nd. I want another, just not yet. I don't want a huge age gap but I feel like financially we are not ready for number 2 yet. But when I see everyone else ready for number 2 it makes me think. Obviously I'm not going to until we are ready and financially set but it definitely makes me think and wonder

Ha ha...not me! My son is my second and I also have a stepson so we have 3 kids. I am D.O.N.E. I actually feel sorry for pg women - even though I know they are excited - that's how done I am. My kids are 6 years apart so we have the big gap (not really planned) but it has worked out financially - only one in daycare.

No, you are not alone. While I would love another one right now, I don't think we are quite there financially either. We are going to wait a few more months to see what happens.

Don't worry, I'm not. I would love to but I would like to finish my Master's before we have a new family member join us:) I will be finished next fall so I may start TTC in late spring so LO can be born after I am finished. At least that's the plan because you never know!

Nope I am not. I am one and done tho

Angela814 · August 2011

We just had #2... about a year ago. My two are 4 years apart, and I love the age gap. I'm thinking if we have a #3, I'd like a 3-4 year age gap again.

I'm so awesome I make two at a time.

ashnoelle · August 2011

No more babies here! We're still on the fence about being one and done. LO wasn't planned so it'll be awhile before we're financially ready for another...and I want to get my Master's and be in a job for awhile. I keep jokingly saying "maybe when Sophia is ten." We'll see.

We were originally planning on trying again within the next month or two. Now that we're moving to California and have no idea when we're going to be in a house we will probably put it off until at least March/April. Part of me is sad because I really wanted them 2 years apart but part of me is ok with it because I like my non-pregnant body.

It seems like the trend these days is to have kids really close together. That isn't happening in my world though....I won't get pregnant again until LO is about to start kindergarten. There's no way I'm spending double on daycare every month.

Yes

We are also waiting until it makes more sense financially. I originally wanted to get pregnant this September but now I'm ok with waiting awhile longer.

dmathis10 · August 2011

I'm not. DD will be two in February, and I thought about trying to get pregnant just before that (like January) - I would love an October baby! But, we're second guessing the daycare thing and we're trying to sell our house, so we may need to wait a while longer.

I'm looking forward to it, though. DD and I both had multiple issues after she was born, and it made the experience of having her a tough one. I want a "do-over".

Cytina · August 2011

We already have our two - and we're done. They are 20 months apart. It makes me a little sad to think "no more babies" but there is absolutely no way we could afford three.

dangerkitty102 · August 2011

I'm not! But we plan to try towards the end of the year. I want a 2 year age gap. Paying for daycare will be a bit of a challenge, but we'll make it work.

BrittKav · August 2011

I'm definitely not pregnant...but I was 7 months ago.

arishia · August 2011

Not preggo here! Though we're going to start trying in a couple of months.

I could have written this myself!!

I seriously LOL'd at this! You are funny! Love it!

We actually conceived #2, 7 months sooner than we agreed to start trying (they are exactly 15 months apart to the day). I would love another in about 2 years but I would seriously flip out if I were to become PG again so soon. My DH is already threatening to cut it off. He says he is absolutely done!

Ivana_Stolichnaya · August 2011

It took awhile to get #1 so I went on the TTC journey thinking it would be a few months to a year down the road until I got a BFP...WRONG! First month trying and I'm KTFU.

pink.dutch.tulips · August 2011

no ! i am DONE ... one is more than enough for me.

eitaknna9 · August 2011

Not here. We're still deciding if/when to have #2. If we do decide to have #2, I don't want to start until at least the beginning of next year, if not later.

vmm0016 · August 2011

As much as I would love another one, we just can't afford another one right now. I am 35, so we are part of the one and done crowd and it still makes me sad. I LOVED being pregnant but we just can't do it.

renae01082005 · August 2011

I'm not! We won't be TTC #2 until late fall next year! Some days it seems so far away, other days I'm perfectly happy waiting. Smile

All of this, except the age gap is by 8 years. I couldn't even begin to fathom being pregnant again. 2 high risk pregnancies with c-sections, bed rest and sucky recoveries makes me never want to venture down that road again. Ever. The only way I will is if my tubal fails me!

panarama99 · August 2011

We're looking at an age gap of 3+ years, so we won't talk about TTC #2 until some time next year.

Luckie519 · August 2011

I am not pregnant either. I want more children, but right now, everything is so hectic and there is just no way I would be able to deal with pregnancy and everything else going on. There is just a lot of family drama (not mine and DH's), but extended family. Money is a big issue too. One day though!
