Do you want to be pregnant

becasmeca · August 2012

There have been a few BFPs!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

But. Do you want to be pregnant?

MYfallBABY · August 2012

I do! :

vnstacie · August 2012

Yea! Now that my symptoms are in check!

Truthfully, I cried my eyes out when we found out, but I'm happy, and H? He is beyond excited!

He just doesn't know I plan to hire a maid LOL

Tulips114 · August 2012

Yes, I was ready!

GingerNess · August 2012

I'm conflicted. I have ALWAYS wanted more than one kid. But honestly, the thought of being pregnant while working and going to school while taking care of a baby and a house, then giving birth while having to do all the same things literally scares the sh!t out of me. Then having TWO kids who solely depend on me. Its really scary.

I know this is stupid, but what worries me most is sleep while pregnant. When I was pregnant, I HAD to sleep at least 10 hours at night with an hour or 2 nap in the evening in order to function. Petty, yes. But I am worried that not enough sleep will ultimately effect both my babies in a not so good way.

For us, its really bad timing no matter how we look at it. Have another now, being in school full time, while working part time (resulting in a sucky supply). OR have another in a few years, already be working a day-time full time job, only get a few weeks off, pay for daycare (also resulting in a sucky supply)..and I really want to breastfeed for a year with the next one. Ugh, so hard.

ETA: this became a sad, little vent/pity party. Sorry! Bottom line, the answer for me would be YES and NO!

If I were in a stable, loving, and supportive relationship Yes.
Considering my current circumstances, hell effing no!
It does make me sad because I really want another child, but it just may not be in the cards for me now.

tartertots9725 · August 2012

I do because I miss having a little baby and DS would make such a wonderful brother! But I'm very glad I'm not because I'm not done enjoying just having one kid and we just couldn't handle another one right now.

MsCrispy · August 2012

No BFP for me and not currently trying, but yes, I do want to be pregnant. We plan to start trying in November.

Pips09 · August 2012

Nope! Not interested right now.

shelovesfrodo · August 2012

Theoretically, yes. I am starting to really miss those kicks and hiccups, and I am looking forward to the next newborn.

In practice, no. I would need to get KU on this cycle in order to avoid another hugely-pregnant-in-the-heat-of-summer pregnancy, and neither of us want to quite yet. So, we are TTA until early spring.

I know this wasn't the major point of your post, but you can totally work and still bf to a year! There are lots of ladies on the board who are. It's a lot of work but worth it IMO. :smile face:

I want to be pregnant but don't want another baby quite yet! Or in nine months. I think we might have to move first to make room for all the accompanying gear on top of L's stuff!

mnewlee · August 2012

Nope. We're one and done.

Ten minutes after she was born the nurse asked if I'd go natural for the next one I just said "What next one?"

*I loved being pregnant and it makes me kind of sad that I'll probably never experience that again.

teacher0708 · August 2012

Yes I do.hopefully sooner rather then later

linzica · August 2012

no. after q turns 2 we'll see,

solsburyhill · August 2012

We aren't preventing right now, so sure, I'd take a BFP. I'm definitely not in full blown TTC mode, I'm not temping or charting, we just have sex when the mood strikes us and if I end up pregnant, sweet, if not, no big deal.

CMheart1011 · August 2012

In some ways, I miss the excitement of pregnancy-the BFP, telling people, finding out the gender, etc. But pg was really rough on me and I'm in no rush to do it again soon. Plus I feel like I'm still learning to be a good parent to one, and it will be quite awhile before I can handle two.

T&HLove · August 2012

I do!

alli&dan · August 2012

Eventually. Not right now though. My sister and I are 2.5 years apart and that, to me, is a nice age gap.

CiCi44 · August 2012

DH just mentioned the other night he'd like to start TTC #2 soon. I was so excited I could barely sleep! I think we'll probably start in a few months. I just started a new job and want to make sure I've been here long enough to qualify for FMLA and short-term disability before #2 arrives.

I'll be so excited to start feeling a wiggly baby in my tummy again!

shelley1002 · August 2012

I do. AF just showed yesterday so this will be our first cycle actively TTC.

missbrightside10 · August 2012

Not right now but we will be TTC sooner than later.

kelyr1 · August 2012

Yes, but no. I loved being pregnant. Just the way people look at you, all smiley and stuff, I loved it. And I love having babies in our house. We still aren't sure if we actually want another as we don't know if it is fair to our other three (you know, will it take our attention away from them, etc). Plus, I'm getting a rockin body for the first time ever and I don't know if I want to give that up just yet...or ever. If we do have another, it will DEFINITELY be our last.

babybmom · August 2012

A couple months ago, we were doing pull pray, and I was praying I'd get KU! But now? Nah. Maybe because I'm getting ready to return to work and that's my mindset right now, but it doesn't feel like the right time. Plus, DH and I are pretty distant lately. I don't think we've had sex for a month? It feels like there's no love there.

But ask me again after I've been back to work for a couple months!! I'm sure I'll be ready!

vwsfy6 · August 2012

I wish I was pregnant!!! H and I are very ready and want our babies close.

sami1784 · August 2012

Yes and no. I miss the baby kicks and hiccups, and I miss the excitement that came along with being pregnant and anticipating meeting the baby for the first time. However, I'm in the process of finding a job and I'd like to be there for a few months to make sure I'm covered by FMLA and such before getting pregnant. Besides, DH doesn't want another right now, and I can understand why. While I've been a full-time parent for almost a year, DH really only has about 3 and a half months under his belt.

hannafemme · August 2012

Yes! I want to be pregnant. I hope this cycle is the one!!

jen4ny · August 2012

Not just yet. I am hoping to start trying again in the spring. I just started this new job so I have to wait to qualify for FMLA. Plus I need A to STTN before we conceive again! I really would like my body back for just a few months before TTC again. I had a rough pregnancy and then with breastfeeding for a year- I need a little break.

But if we did get pregnant now I would be thrilled (and a little overwhelmed!).

TeacherVicky · August 2012

Originally, DH and I were going to start TTC in October 2012. We've been discussing a lot and are now leaning towards Oct 2013. It just makes more sense financially. Plus, I see my sister and many of my friend who have 18-24m age gaps between kids and it makes me want to wait to be able to enjoy C more.

However, all this talk of babies and TTC is giving me baby fever.

Malin22000 · August 2012

YES! And then no. I do but I don't. I'm definitely getting baby-itis but I know we are in no shape to have another baby right now and I do want to enjoy having just Elliana for a bit longer as well. I'm REALLY hoping we are ready by this May though. Please something come through for H's job search so we can expand our family!
