I want another baby.
DH and I said a few years, but my hormones are crazy and I want to do it all again. Am I crazy?

Re: Confession
I do too. Which surprises the heck out of me. While pregnant DH and I were talking about him getting a vasectomy. Not gonna make any rash decisions in the next few months one way or another, but I sure do have the baby bug right now.
I made rachelmichelle1 my bitch.
I feel the same way. I loved be pregnant and being a mom is even more amazing that I thought it would be!
Have you told DH you are having the itch for another one now? I did. He laughed and said he would like to wait until next Christmas to start trying but said whenever I'm ready, he is. So I'm trying to hold off as long as possible haha
My DS1 was born at 34 wks. With my 2nd I had to have p17 shots (you may want to ask your ob about them). After a lot of trouble I made it to 39 weeks with my 2nd.
I feel like that too. I love her new phases, but miss the old and want to do it all over again. I even miss being pregnant...
DH however feels LO is doing all she can to be an only child.
Isn't there something that recommends for mom's health babies aren't closer than 18 mos? Clearly not dispositive, but thought it was interesting.
due to having a c-section, I have to wait until 18 months between deliveries. That being said, I have baby fever. Didn't say I was going do it, plus if I did,that would be my choice.

Clearly it is your body your choice. I also said it wasn't dispositive and thought it was interesting. Sheesh.
Oh thank god I'm not the only one!!! I'm thinkig when I go back to work in 4 weeks and become exhausted, my mind will change back to being sane though.
oh no! I wasn't attacking, I guess that came off a little snarky. Didn't mean it!

Oops sorry. Truce! I am amazed you can even think about another one. I am so tired and can't put him down!
After I had DD#1 I had those feelings quickly but knew DH wanted 2 to 3 years apart. I am so happy we waited. My pregnancies are miserable. I am glad I was not pregnant during the first year of her life. I feel like it was timed out perfectly for our lives. It took us over a year to get pregnant and quite franly I think God planned it out that way. We went through a real rough patch with DD#1 and I am so happy I didn;t have to do that with a newborn now that I look back. #1 is just in the perfect phase now to be a big sister. It is something she take great pride in and her behavior has really gotten so much better.
Now if we have another one it will be about 5 years down the road. DH is really thinking this is it. I am still want another. I know I do not want to have kids past my mid 30's. I am 28 now so we both agreed lets wait 5 years and make that decision then.
If DH was on board for another kiddo I would want to start trying when DD#2 was 3
Me too. I did not love being pregnant. I am going to wait another year at least though because I need to accumulate enough time off for a paid maternity leave again.
I actually thought I was maybe one and done after Hattie June. Or that I at least wanted to wait a long while after she was born. That surprised me because I had (what I consider) an incredibly easy delivery. Ten hour total and only about 35 minutes of hard pushing.
Then when I was expressing concerns to DH about getting pregnant again too soon he said, "We've already got one. What's one more?" And of course like two weeks later I was back on the baby train.
We've decided to start trying next October when Hattie June is a year... or maybe a couple of months sooner than that but for now we are waiting until at least the summer.
shut your facehole, Starry.

I always wanted 2U2. Everyone talked about how hard it is, blah, blah, blah, but I figured that my mom did it and so could I, and I always love a challenge. Yeah, well it wasn't until after DS2 was born that my mom tells me she cried a lot during my first year because being a SAHM to 2U2 is SOOO hard. I totally see why. I love both my boys more than anything, but I don't think I'd recommend it to anyone.
We originally talked about 3U3, but no...just no.
