When if ever are you planning #2?

soontobehiller · March 2014

I don't know if it's baby fever or just wanting to have a plan of when we are going to try for #2. DH is all for as soon again ready. That being said we have the sweetest baby boy and we want to enjoy this one on one time with him. DH keeps bringing up trying in August I'm leaning toward the beginning of next year. Anyone already thinking of baby #2 or am I the only one crazy enough!?

kelly422 · March 2014

Probably sometime this Fall TTC #2

Mufflerlove · March 2014

The tentative plan is to TTC in January. DH wants them fairly close

Murphie82 · March 2014

I'm not completely sure about having a second one yet, but if we do, we won't start trying until B is at least two years old.

peachnectarine · March 2014

We've talked about late summer or fall. But that seems a little soon now. We'll see!

End of summer 2015

ColieAnn31 · March 2014

Not for a few years!

Maelara · March 2014

Already there

jessykay87 · March 2014

The plan was to start trying after her one year bday. Considering that's right around the corner, I'm not really ready yet. Still working two jobs, hubs is still working nights. Just not super ideal for one kid, let alone two. So we'll revisit the idea at a later date.

This. I want to take a nice trip for our 5th anniversary, then start trying.

flerlgirl · March 2014

lol

riansmommie · March 2014

Trying for #3 again right now. Hoping this will be our lucky month.

numbersgirl08 · March 2014

Probably spring of next year. We want to wait until MH is done with school to actually have the next baby and we're unsure about whether we want to be pregnant or if we want to wait til he graduates.

jennOK · March 2014

I originally said I wanted them two years apart. Then I said I was one and done. Now, i'm back to wanting another. Having them two years apart seems like I'll have to be pregnant again way too soon now. DH and I need to talk it over.

LiLi23 · March 2014

My two are 23 months apart. I'd like a bigger gap IF there's a third. I love the thought of being pregnant again, but I hate the thought of being pregnant again, kwim? Right now life is pretty balanced, I feel like adding a third would tip the scale. My oh-so-darling husband thinks otherwise. He's been pushing for the third since the second came out. El oh el, DH.

BbyCarter13 · March 2014

We hope to stop preventing around this time next year and then start trying in summer 2015.

dmlk413 · March 2014

I'm hoping to be one and done. Still have to convince DH.

CoffeeBeanFiend91 · March 2014

The plan is waiting until DD is about 3. I can't handle keeping a two year old out of everything and recover from a c section. I can't have a VBAC so it's something to think about. And the idea of having a shitty pregnancy again while going through terrible twos scares me.

weddinginthecove · March 2014

As I said in my reintroduction post, we both really want a second child. With that being said, I'm not sure if I can deal with HG again while raising a child. I'm afraid that I will be unable to care for him like I want to while I'm dealing with suck a crappy sickness. My husband works away for half the year so that definitely plays a role in my feelings towards not being able to do pregnancy alone. With that being said, I definitely plan to give it another few years so that at least L will be able to entertain himself when needed.

kelseypie · March 2014

We've kind of planned on trying again when DS turns one. I'd love to try now, but logically I know we should probably wait. My cycle's not even back yet, although it was messing with me last week.

. Super disappointed.

fabumama · March 2014

We are in month 2 of trying

GalLaura · March 2014

We need to start trying soon because I just turned 40. That being said, I wish I could wait until my lo was 3. I love giving him 100% of me. I wish I was a little younger

+Preppy+ · March 2014

DD was our second. We want a third, but I need a bigger gap then with my first two (15.5 months). I'm thinking when DD turns 2, we will TTC. I don't want to wait much longer, just want to get the baby phase done somewhat close.

I got pregnant at 42. The old fashioned way. So it can be done.

That being said, I am one and done.

Cricket81 · March 2014

I would love them to be close in age, but there's a lot more that would need to happen for #2. The biggest thing is that we'd need to find a bigger apartment (or ideally buy a house) and financially both of those options are tough right now.

We have one embie in the freezer. We're hoping to do our second IVF a little after Azeem turns 1

This, except I have 2 eggs on ice. I hope to transfer them this summer in either mid July or August. We are trying the old fashioned way as of now, but I'm on my first cycle so who knows!

nikel13 · March 2014

I just had a dream that I had #2 and Lily wasn't very old. That freaked me out! I want to wait until there is 3 or 4 years between. Lily needs a sibling, but I need her to be a little more self sufficient before that happens.

whitney2302 · March 2014

I'd like to start trying when DS turns 2. We'll see if I change my mind before then!

megandchase · March 2014

Are plan is to start trying in December. I teach and I want to save up more personal time and make sure I as disability during open enrollment in August before we start trying.

TheTamedShrew · March 2014

We weren't planning on TTC until early next year. I have finally decided for sure that I want at least one more, but I'd like to be through with BFing for a few months before getting pregnant again.

NicoleReed0324 · March 2014

We will start next summer. I want them about 3 years apart. I'm enjoying him so much right now. Also I'm looking forward to my body being mine again when I stop breastfeeding in June.

MissDei · March 2014

I will be starting a Masters this fall, i need to be close to finishing before we try for #2. I'm thinking we'l TTC in 2016?

kh59 · March 2014

We aren't preventing, but I haven't had a period yet...

Diana909 · March 2014

Totally a one and done. Only ever wanted one and a boy. God blessed me with both. I'm done......now DH would like another but I'm all set.

needanustart · March 2014

Lo was my second but I would love to have a third. DH in no way wants more kids and I don't want to have another for a few years, if I am able to talk him into it that is. Part of me wants to have them all super close in age and have the chaos done but I think financially and lifestyle wise I'd rather have the older ones in school before another baby was here.

This seems like it should fit in here. Next time I'm pregnant, this is what I want:

I totally made something like this when I was pregnant with DD except it had peanut butter in it. It was awesome.

cafecreme · March 2014

We'd like to be pregnant with #2 by September. We are still finding our forever home, and I need to lose 20lbs. Right after we had DD we were all like "lets try in March"...nope. Those plans have changed, and we'd rather wait. Too much stress right now.

LaBellaVida · March 2014

I am thinking next year maybe. We've gotta sell our house, and buy a new one...and pay down our debt.

My kids are 6 years apart, so I'd like our next one a little closer.

GalLaura · March 2014

@aimmee44. This is great to hear!

megaroo64 · March 2014

Well--- the plan was to start after B's first birthday, when hopefully my health was all cleared up- but surprise!

musicalsilver · March 2014

NTNP when LO turns one. My cycle hasn't returned though, so that'll play a big role too!

DH and I used to want them rather close, but LO is showing us that we'd probably like a bit more space than previously thought.
