December 2010 Moms

Who will be TTC again in Dec (or so)?

We are going to TTC again in December.  Who else is thinking of trying again then (or in the months after)?

What are you doing to prep yourself?  I'm trying to eat better & get in shape.  It isn't going perfectly, but I think it's better than not doing anything.  Smile  Any other thoughts, anxieties, etc.?

  • I think we will try one last time next December or Jan. not this year though. I really like the 2 1/2-3 yr gap. Good luck!

  • If I were TTC (not that I plan on it any time soon) I would make sure I was taking a really good prenatal vitamin now.  A chilld takes a lot out of your body, you need to put something back in before you have another.

  • I will hopefully be getting pregnant in Dec I will be needed a lot of alone time with dh before hand to get things rolling lol maybe that will get me in shape. I'm starting to eat better, exercise and I'm still taking Prenatals and will keep taking them.

  • We'll be TTC in late November. We initially planned for this summer, but some fun trips have come up for this fall and so we're holding off till after those.  So we'll try as many cycles as it takes between November and March. If we don't have any luck, we'll hold off until May or June, I think. I don't want our babies' birthday too close together.

    To prep, I'm trying to get in better shape than the first time around. I'll be starting back up with my prenatal soon, too.

    If I wasn't turning 36 this year (gasp!) I think I'd like that age gap too!
  • We are thinking Nov or Dec this year. I've been trying to stay in shape (I'm just a few pounds more than my pre preg weight now!) and I just kept taking prenatal vitamins (and continue to do so) after O was born because I breastfeed.

  • So originally I thought yes this December, but now i am thinking we will wait. We are going to try and buy a new house and DH needs to finish doctorate with 2 years or so. We might wait until after that. I am back on my Nuvaring because my PP were terrible. I had five of them ( even while EBF for 3 of those months). They were so bad and had never in my life been like that before. I was not going to go back on bc between babies, but I just had too.

  • We are TTC #2 but I am assuming it will not happen naturally again.  It took 18 month of TTC and IUI to get DD.  If nothing happens on its own we will go back for treatment in Jan.

    34 is staring me down so I feel you! We aren't thinking about anything until after her first birthday but in my head I am thinking next spring.

  • I would love to TTC come December but...

    1. I need to loose the pregnancy weight at least, before having #2

    2. DH needs to step up to the plate and get projects finished around the house 

    3. If I get a new job we will wait till I am there a year before we TTC.

    this is pretty much us too.  we are trying now.  if not pregnant by December, we will see a specialist again.   i never stopped taking prenatals.  and im trying to get in shape because pregnancy kicks my a$$, so i need to get ahead of the game.

  • i would like to start TTC but we're not financially prepared yet.  i think when we're thinking of TTC ill start my folic acid pills and also try to eat better and work out a bit.

    my only fear is that my pelvic pain will come back and come back sooner (which is what i heard =S ). 

  • we're not, but starting to talk about maayyyybe next summer/fall. if we can, we'd like to avoid #2 having an oct-dec bday, but i also realize we'll get what we get and don't have the luxury of being choosy since we tried for 2.5 years to get H. (and only succeded with 3 IUIs).

    but we have to figure out our housing sitch before then. it is just not feasible to have 2 kids in this teeny house. we're trying to decide how to handle a refi that needs to happen and if moving to larger house is in the cards.

    OMG, you too? I had symphysis pubis dysfunction. It started up around 16 weeks, so it really horrifies me that it could happen sooner with successive kids. After a while it would hurt my pelvis to pick anything up, so I'm really scared about getting pregnant with #2 (and see my post...I just had a BC fail...), esp close in age to #1. The smart thing would be to wait until #1 never needs to be picked up again.... If I do get pregnant he'd better learn to walk asap.

    Yep, I'll be 37 by the end of the year so we'll be TTC earlier than I'd really like to.  

    I really need to work on getting back in shape.  I've lost my pregnancy weight, but I'm just saggy and floppy (and I'm not even talking about my boobs).  For about a week I was good about doing at least a set of crunches before bed but that was about it.

  • Ugh, I'm 35 today which makes me cringe.  I thought I'd like to have another right away, but I want about 2 1/2 years in between, so I guess we'll be waiting a bit.
