Second baby

jlnapoleon78 · October 2013

So are their any moms thinking about having another already? Besides me.. LOL Or trying already?

jobiann · October 2013

I'm sure some ladies are trying already. DH and I have a January 1st deadline to decide if we are one and done....verdict is still out!

2u2wow · October 2013

i love having 2! and they're 21 months apart its hard but i'm looking forward to having them close in age and buddies!

Jessie333 · October 2013

DH and I want another one. We aren't technically trying, but we are not trying not to. We are just going to see what happens.

My sister and I are 18 months apart and it was great growing up so close in age. I would love DD to be able to experience that.

ohiodoxiemama08 · October 2013

Definitely not trying here. Just got a Paraguard IUD put in today. I would like another baby someday but probably not for another 3 years or so. I want to enjoy DD and have her be a little more independent. She's exhausting enough as it is--I give so much credit to moms of multiples and 2 under 2!

chrissynena · October 2013

We are having IUI at the end of the month, and if that doesn't work out then we put a deposit down to have a FET in Feb. So, yup we are ready and trying hard lol.

OhBaby+2013 · October 2013

We will start trying in march or April in hopes DS will be around 2 when baby comes. We probably would be trying now but I'm under doctors orders to give my body a minimum of one year to recover from my delivery.

portentosa · October 2013

I have been wanting to start trying again for a couple months now, but DH is very adamant about waiting just a little longer.... at least until DS is 1 year for the health of myself and baby #2, but preferably he'd like us to conceive in March so we can have a December 2014 baby.... so our birthdays are all close together.

So in his mind he wants to start in February/March.... I tried to tell him that uh yeah, you don't always conceive right away dude and we BOTH want our kids close in age so let's get on this! lol

P.S. My birthday is December 28th, DS's is January 1st, and DH's is January 12th. The birthdays all close together thing was a really weird future birth timing plan until a friend of mine imagined us celebrating all of our birthdays with one really big family event/trip every year.... Disney World vacation, etc. That would be pretty awesome I guess. :P

ungraceful13 · October 2013

We are NNT. We had planned to wait until her birthday to start trying but we were sucking at using condoms all the time so we decided to just NNT for a while then we would start with timed intercourse and charting in the spring.

this decaf life · October 2013

There are a few pregnant women here, I think one is due next month already. I'm about 2.5 years away from wanting to try.

JJsMum · October 2013

So, not technically a second baby, but we are going to start trying next month. I get back from a husband and kid free vacation and then it's on! :P

Jbosarge85 · October 2013

We are trying. I was hoping I was pregnant already. I was a little late, so I thought I was, but AF reared her ugly head 4 days late. So we are still trying, maybe this month? *fingers crossed*

Allycat11 · October 2013

We are not TTC yet. I thought I would want kids closer in age but DD has been very high maintenance so that has made me reconsider spacing. AF hasn't returned yet so I couldn't get pregnant if I wanted to. We are in the process of buying a house so even if AF returned we wouldn't TTC until we are settled in. Also, DD may need surgery next Summer so I am waiting to see what happens with that before making any decisions.

URMySunshine77 · October 2013

We might start TTC in December or January, but I'm still BFing with no sign of a period, so it might take a while unless I purposefully night wean.

rockyrollgirl · October 2013

Same as @Jessie333 We are just seeing what happens. Not actively trying, but not preventing it either.

OhBaby+2013 · October 2013

@2013mommy have you ever looked into Nuvaring? Low maintenance, easy to use and didn't make me a raging psycho.

Hollylb3 · October 2013

I still shudder at the thought of a newborn. Needless to say, no, we're not trying. We may be OAD. Jury is still out.

ashcody2 · October 2013

I would love to have another - my fiance on the other hand wants to wait at least 3 years. I am about 90% sure we will have another but it won't be for at least 1-3 years. (I would like to try in a year, fiance would wait the full 3 years if it were entirely up to him).

Smiley-1980 · October 2013

Definitely not yet. I don't want them so close. Maybe 2-3 yrs apart. My brother and I are 17 mths apart and my Mom said it was so hard. I also can't imagine having a newborn again so soon. I want a tiny bit of freedom back again before I'm attached to another tiny baby 24/7.

codeaard · October 2013

I'm in the already pregnant club!

I will tell you that your second pregnancy flys by!

Sekura21 · October 2013

We'll start "trying" in March--which means we'll go to the RE and schedule a FET. We aren't using BC now, but as we had to use donor eggs last time, its not likely to happen on its own.

prissy1479 · October 2013

I'm definitely on the fence. DH and I are only children. I just don't know if I can or want to split my energy on two. BUT all things said I miss the tiny newborn phase and I would love to have a playmate for DD. If we do start trying, I want to wait until she's 2.

court115 · October 2013

We'll probably start trying again in the spring, assuming that our condo is sold by then. Everything is on hold until we sell it and move into a bigger home.

Nicoleborenstein · October 2013

I'm pregnant and due in April, just found out we r having a boy and since we have a little girl already I'm happy to be having one of each! Out plan was always to have only 2 kids and close in age

lifeisbetteronthered · October 2013

Yep, we're trying. While technically not avoiding this month ... but my period is 3 days late. It has been a little irregular since resuming, likely because I am still BF/pumping. I'm trying to hold off testing until Wednesday, when my period is officially later then it has ever been. Truth be told, I may buy a test on the way home, and test in the morning if my period hasn't shown up by then. The suspense is killing me.

twobytwomom · October 2013

I have an IUD and am done, done and DONE. After 2 sets of twins, I'm afraid of what would come out next! lol!

MRSVELA07 · October 2013

I'm enjoying this one on one time with my little boy!!! However, I have a feeling we're one and done.

lifeisbetteronthered · October 2013

I bought the test. And oh my goodness, we are pregnant. One romp when I thought I "might be" fertile (no temping, charting, etc). Quite a change from last time.

DD will be 17 months when this LO arrives. Can't wait to let our families know. Now to come up with a fun way to tell them.

lifeisbetteronthered · October 2013

Thanks guys. Now that I'm back on this board I'm surprised at how many of us are already pregnant again. I found this board really helpful and supportive the first time around so I am really excited to have you ladies around the second time.

steffaneh · October 2013

I just found out this morning that I am pregnant! Nervous but excited! My DH wanted all of our kids to be close in age (we want at least 4). I'm glad to find other mommas that are in the same boat as we are.

clariknittist · October 2013

I just got my first post-partum period yesterday...so I guess the decision is a little more on the horizon, but still not ready!

mylittleladies1229 · October 2013

We'll it looks like 3 under 18 months may be in the cards for me. We were definitely trying and I got a BFP today after my third cycle PP. I can't friggin believe it, especially since we did IVF the first time around with my twins. Praying for a sticky baby.
