NO baby fever?

sarajim06 · February 2014

I have zero, zilch, nada baby fever. Anybody else?

Boo0512 · February 2014

I don't have it.

c-elizabethf · February 2014

95% for me, I'm enjoying having DD for now. Dh and I will see what happens in 3 or 4 years

SaguaroBlossmom · February 2014

None here.. I go back and forth on wanting a 3rd.. As of now I'm leaning towards No. If it were to happen which is 99.9% impossible right now, I would still be thrilled but I don't have the fever.

schawla27 · February 2014

I don't have it either, although DH does. Not happening for at least another year or two!

michelle04us · February 2014

none here. Having 4 kids is plenty for me and having 2 of them only 11 months apart has put a stop to anything happening in the bedroom lately. Even though I'm on Mirena just don't want to chance it. Although he would like another one(just told me last week). I don't know. Maybe I will change my mind in a couple of years but right now another baby is just not going to happen.

I had not a .01% even. I still have days I don't even know if I could handle another. LO still isn't even slightly sttn, and super demanding. I think I'd die being pregnant (my pregnancies are complicated and hard), and having her and a new born could send me off the deep end. H has baby fever bad tho I avoid dtd like the plague cause I'm scared of getting pregnant.

CNJ4EVA · February 2014

Yeah, I'm nowhere near ready. I'll even admit that I find it daunting to go through teething again.....and we've only just started!
ETA everything after admit

I wish LO could have a sibling around her age (my oldest two are 13 & 15) and I liked how they had each other growing up. But, the reality of health risks, if I could even get pregnant at 44, pretty much squashes any baby fever.

MauLoaM0M · February 2014

Nope not at all! I'm enjoying it just being the three of us & being to give him so much one on one attention. In a few years, maybe we'll consider a second!?!? :-/

ETA: correct smiley

I had a brief touch of the baby fever...mostly just because I missed the newborn days and wanted to breastfeed again...but I realized that is such a small part of having another child that it really isn't a good reason to have another one.
I recently had a pregnancy scare and I call it a "scare," because I am assuming the toddler days are going to be really hard and I can't imagine going through it with two and once LO is older I am looking forward to traveling more easily as a family, and having some more me time.etc.,
So I am pretty sure we are one and done...at least until LO is closer to four. I think by then I will really know if I want another. At that point, adoption will be our only option. If we can afford it great. If not then it wasn't meant to be.
In the mean time...I am going to be more careful about BC.

I would like to freeze time with Owen, but I am in no way pining for another right now. I love his ability to interact and play. While infants are full of snuggles, there's nothing better than a genuine laugh from my sweet boy. Due to my complications, and Owen's stay in the NICU, it'll be a while before I'm ready to face the same potential issues again. That's if the docs even say it's safe to try again. I'm so in love with my little family right now that if we never have another I'm very blessed to have one beautiful, sweet, healthy little boy.

botanicalbliss · February 2014

I loooooooove squishy newborns, and I miss inside kicks. However, I have zero desire to be pregnant again, go through labor again, or have 2U2. Nothankyouverymuch.

sundaesprinkles · February 2014

Well I definitely don't have baby fever. Which isn't really ideal since I know I want to have more. We had tentatively decided to space our kids 2 years apart, and have maybe three or four. (Crazy right?) At this point I may stop at two or three.

I want more kids but wish I could fast-forward and skip the baby stage. DS is adorable and I love him so much but the baby stage is very hard. I thought things would be easier by now but his sleeping has gotten much worse since about 6/7 months instead of better. I haven't been able to get him to sleep in his crib in about a month and a half. He will only sleep in his swing (which he's about to outgrow) or in bed with me. I wouldn't mind him sleeping with me at all but I just started back to work and every morning when I have to get up it's a huge deal.

So if we stick to our time table we're supposed to start TTC again in August. I'm hoping I'm ready by then. I know we could space them further apart but I would really rather get through the "baby years" and not have to start all over again each time with the next kid.

beatlechicksteph · February 2014

No baby fever here either. I think once DS is 3-4, no longer bf-ing and potty trained, I'll be ready. I have no desire to tandem bf or change 2 kids' diapers.

jesselayne8 · February 2014

We definitely want 1-2 more kids but not at this moment. I have been pregnant/BFing for 3 yrs straight and I am looking forward to having my body to myself this summer (hoping to wean DS in May).

PumpkinAndThePeanut · February 2014

My H is pretty adamant we're done. I don't have baby fever by any means, I've got my hands quite full! But it makes me sad that time is flying by so quickly and this is (most likely) it for us. I get sad every time I pack up another box of clothes that no longer fit, or toys they've outgrown. But I keep reminding myself of all the fun things we have to look forward to still!

megandscott07 · February 2014

I feel like those with baby fever must have easy babies or they are just stronger than me! My DS is so exhausting I just literally cannot imagine it x2. Which is sad because I want another child but I just don't know how I could handle it mentally. DH is good with one and done, so we'll see.

Kissimi21 · February 2014

I'm almost afraid to say anything. The last time I said I was done and really accepted it, my "flu" turned out to be twins (triplets). I am happy with our bigger than planned little family. There are times I think of my lost Baby C and try to imagine how things would have been, but I have no desire to have another baby.

watuzzigal · February 2014

@PumpkinandThePeanut your comment reminded me of the book If I Could Keep You Little. Have you read it? Super sweet.

TrulyBlessed22 · February 2014

Not at the moment but I do know I want 1 more...just not now.

katwoman08 · February 2014

None. 2u2 has definitely been eventful to say the least. I wasn't experiencing baby fever when I got pregnant with my daughter actually I was thinking of being one and done.

I haven't - I'll check it out, thanks. Sounds like a tear-jerker.

No baby fever here! I theoretically want a sibling for C, and it'd be neat to have them close in age, but I'm just not ready. Besides, I at least have to wait until C ages out of his "under 2" spot at daycare.

emmy236 · February 2014

@beaubecca can you come give that speech to my husband. He has always wanted kids but never being around babies, he was so overwhelmed by how hard it was. I keep saying these first years are tough but it gets better. He wants the kids when they are old enough to play catch and ride bikes and he doesn't quite get I can't give birth to a 4th grader.
