Pregnant/trying???

camdensmom32 · January 2014

I know there are quite a few April moms that are pregnant again or trying. Just curious to see how many moms here are pregnant and who is trying....and I'm bored today so entertain me!

camdensmom32 · January 2014

We stopped preventing in August but no baby yet. I have baby fever so bad!!! I get bummed every month my period shows up. Hoping for baby #2 soon!!

farmerpinky · January 2014

Desperate baby fever, but H says we wait until my nexplanon expires (3 yrs from lo). I'm not sure I want to be ku at 36. We might be done. Ideally I'd like to be ku before September.

We have some relationship stuff to work out anyway so it probably isn't meant to be.

AAAHinkley · January 2014

We are planning to start trying in the fall!

sapphire021 · January 2014

Serious baby fever over here, but I know now is not the time for us. We are preventing and will try again after her second birthday. Doesn't stop me from searching baby names and the like though

melissad23 · January 2014

I voted SS - not "hell no" but we aren't trying yet. We'll start trying April/May.

Kate_C · January 2014

Jealous of all the pregnant or planning to be pregnant ladies. We cannot afford another kid right now (or probably ever), so most likely done at two. The idea of never being pregnant again makes me sad.

tondraluv · January 2014

We aren't preventing but at the same time we'd like to wait until after we find a bigger house. We're looking now.

Aprilbaby49 · January 2014

Hadn't been preventing. I've had serious baby fever for the past couple of months. The original plan was to begin to try when Noah turns 1. We talked about it and decided to try this month but then talked about it again and we're back to the original plan so April it is

hatroopes · January 2014

I go back on forth on whether I want another baby this year or wait until 2015. I have some major career decisions to make so I would like to wait until 2015. DH is ready for another one right now so the ball is in my court.

JSS1002 · January 2014

Pregnant, as you all know... If I were younger I would have much rather waited a few years between kids but I can't imagine doing this much older!

This! That's a lot of the reason I want to get it done if we are going to have more kids....I'm 31.

Telebell · January 2014

I've been having baby fever too, but luckily I have an IUD so I can't make any rash decisions or "not try not prevent". The plan is to start trying late summer and ideally get a May/June 2015 baby. I'm working now and do love my job but will stay home for a couple years with a second kid. It'll be pretty tempting to make an appt with the obgyn if my job ever seems frustrating this year.

Pshaw. You're still a baby. I"m 36 and will turn 37 two weeks after this one is due!

This is me exactly.

Angela814 · January 2014

100% done

Meggs2559 · January 2014

Not sure when we would start trying. We both would like another, but I don't think we would seriously start talking about it until after LO's 1st birthday. I will be 29 in May though so I feel like I have some time...hopefully! We only want 2.

Well I'm way older than I wanted to be when I started to have kids. Oh well, what do you do!! I also struggle with Endometriosis and am hoping that isn't what is causing the delay in getting pregnant right now. I would hate to have to go through another surgery before I'm able to get pregnant again.

Congrats to everyone who is expecting and good luck to everyone trying!!!

AnnieJar · January 2014

I'm almost 17 weeks, due in early June. My April 2013 baby will be a little over 13 months when number 3 is born. I'm nervous to have them so close together, ideally I think I would have spaced them more like 2-3 years apart. But I am also super excited to see how such a small age gap influences the sibling relationship, I've heard good things. And I feel blessed to be expecting again.

ClandestineX · January 2014

I am not mentally or physically ready and I believe the only reason why I never went into Pre-E even though the last week I was so close was because of my great health and I am nowhere near that.

I still have bouts of mood swings and the like so I am not completely sure I am done battling the PPD. I said I would try in Feb/March but by the looks of it and me not being serious getting healthy these last few months I decided to wait until Feb/March 2015.

Oh and age isn't an issue for me, but it is for my husband who is 35 right now. He said he will get snipped at 38 no matter how many kids we have.. (which is why he wants another one right now, he has more baby fever than I do.)

YOu and me both, sister! I thought I'd be done having kids by 30. Alas,I didn't meet the RIGHT guy until I was much older. Such is life. Although I would have liked to be done sooner, at least we are in a very stable career/ financial situation due to both being single and career-driven before we met.

Yeah, I'll be having the ol' tubes tied after this baby (since I have to have a c/s anyway, might as well do it rather than have DH schedule a separate surgery).

I'm just wondering what sex is? Phew it's been awhile!

I voted hell no, not any time soon. But what I really mean is we are all done having kids. Three is enough for us.

Ditto

Gracious1014 · January 2014

Not trying, not preventing.

Sarahbeth1169 · January 2014

We are not officially trying but we have not been preventing. We got pregnant right away last time so we will see how everything works out. I really want 3 but my husband only wants 2. I also want to be done by the time I'm 30 which is next year.

CanukMam · January 2014

SS-Will be trying soon, aiming for a 2015 baby

bhjones1980 · January 2014

Not preventing, but also no sign of pp cycle yet.... so I have no idea where that puts us for number 2.

hopefully we catch the first cycle and I do not see AF for another 2 years

While your great health was definitely an asset, it didn't necessarily help you avoid pre-e. Pre-e can happen to anyone, fit or not, and is very common in first pregnancies. I am glad you didn't get it. I had it severely. It came on like a freight train out of nowhere. I have never been so sick or scared in my life.

Yeah, my SIL is basically the healthiest person I know, and had SEVERE SEVERE SEVERE pre-e with her first, who she had at age 24.

Only because I've been very sick and have had surgery and am planning for another major sugery. I'm just very fortunate to have a understanding husband. Not saying that other husbands wouldn't but his patience has been that of a saint!

I have been terribly up-and-down on this. I've been through the "oh lord never again--> I want to be pregnant NOW --> getting pregnant in the fall would be great --> oh lord never again --> I don't want my child to be an only child so I'll eventually have to but I don't really want to" phases.

If we didn't want our child to have a sibling I would 100% be done. My daughter is my whole world but this has been harder on my marriage, my financies, and my mental health than I would have ever dreamed. I'm hoping to really want to have another baby some day but right now it feels like a "must do" not a "want to."

This is why we started trying right away -- I want J to have a sibling and we want to have two and only two kids and then we're done. I dont' want to drag it out, and I want to get through the diaper / bottle phase as soon as possible, before I forget what it is like! :-)

I always joke that the reason I was so anxious to be pregnant again is because I'm so anxious to NEVER have to be pregnant again. :-)

Haha. Exactly! We have said that we will get pregnant as soon as we can afford it just so we can be done.

Yep! But he reeeeeealllllly needed a vacation *eyeroll* I'm guessing mid-life crisis or something for him? My biggest focus right now is getting myself better so I can care for Alexander because he needs me. Me being sick has really put a strain on our relationship so we have recently started counseling to help us work through it together. Tough situation.

OhSewCrafty · January 2014

We won't even begin remotely thinking about it until Charlie is in kindergarten. I want another, but not anytime soon.

That is true. My mother had it with all of her pregnancies (and she was healthy) and that was the reason why my sister, brother and I were all preemies (my sister and I before 28 weeks). So I was told I would be watched carefully. I had some scare during the 36th week, my blood pressure was going crazy. Then it leveled out until the 40th week when it was elevated and even really high for a few hours, a few days before I gave birth.

Also, it is not just pre-e.. although it is one of my main concerns. I look at all the other things, like gestational diabetes, and even giving birth.. that exercise and eating right can help with.

I also feel like it would be unfair to my other child if I wasn't healthy mentally and physically. That is just my own thoughts though.
