Momnesia

Aycul18 · April 2014

Well ladies. I think it happened. Exactly 4 months and I thibj momnesia kicked in.

As I was driving home a bit ago, I totally caught myself thinking how great pregnancy was and how I miss feeling and seeing my stomache roll at night from movement.

I must be nuts haha! Definitely not ready for number two yet! Anyone else other than those already pregnant experiencing momnesia?

I've had this like since I delivered. I think I'm crazy.

Yes, I have it and my pregnancy was rough ( throwing up all 9 months and gestational diabetes). I think we will end up with two under two. Right now my goal is to have number two in summer or fall of 2015.

MissyC979 · April 2014

Nope!

Same here. Although its not really momnesia for me, as I'm not romanticizing anything...I know exactly what I'm getting into!

I was ready for another baby 2 days after DS was born. My H looked at me like I was nuts. It took over a year after DS1 was born to make me consider having another.

tattooedtragedy · April 2014

No. No. No. Nope! I'm looking forward to getting full reign over my body again when I'm done breastfeeding. No more babies for a long while if ever.

imrachellea · April 2014

I enjoyed being pregnant. That I'm looking forward to again. We'll probably be 2u2 or close to it as well, if getting the next one is as easy as this one was. What I'm nervous about are those first several weeks. As much as I wanted a baby in the worst way and thought I was prepared, the first two months were way rougher than I ever knew was possible...and she's an easy baby! I just feel like the next one will be the exact opposite and that, on top of already knowing how hard the newborn stage is, is scary. But...hopefully a fall baby for us next, shooting for October 2015

cammyisagirlsname · April 2014

I definitely planned on being one & done too. But Cameron needs to be a big brother... Though I'm so lucky, he's such a good baby. I'll probably not luck out so much next time.

NicoleStephane · April 2014

Yes!!! I have had it since DD was born. The sooner the better over here (yes, I'm very crazy).

Chichigo · April 2014

My pregnancy went from fantastic to stressful in the third tri, but my labor and delivery were uncomplicated and as easy as could be.

I would have all the babies possible before menepause.

Edit: When I say easy as can be, I don't mean it in a flippant way. Labor progressed well and my pain management techniques were effective. My husband was an excellent coach-he would make a good doula if it was something men did.

Aycul18 · April 2014

I really want mine to be 2-3 years apart. So maybe we can try again toward the end of the year or beginning of next year.

As an older sister, I think the best gift a parent can give their child is a sibling, even if it doesn't seem that way right away. Although I definitely respect the decision to only have one! It's hard!

My brother is my best friend now :-)

Caitlinh27 · April 2014

Like @BoothBaby‌ said it's not really "momnesia" because I totally remember every painful detail of pregnancy, labor, and delivery.. But I'm already thinking I'm willing to go through it all again. Easton would be an amazing big brother and I want to try for a little girl

Definitely want be for another few years though!

Aycul18 · April 2014

Definitely understandable @Cashingn2‌

lilypienmessimy · April 2014

Yep!! I want another now, ha! We are waiting until Nov/Dec to try again though!

It could happen, I am beyond fortunate that both my kids are good babies (good nursing, sleeping and happy).

I will say though that 2u2 is HARD! Well I should say chasing a toddler is hard. DD is super easy lol

AGriffin620 · April 2014

One and done here!!

canicksmom · April 2014

I always imagined having two children. My sister is my best friend. I want DS to be able to have that connection, but honestly I have felt more ok with 1&D during this newborn stage. Momma's tired and can't quite fathom loving anyone as much as this little boy.

Short answer: nope, not there yet.

jy725 · April 2014

I want another baby! Pregnancy was pretty good for me overall. I was terrified because I experienced a loss with my first pregnancy, so it was hard not to be scared the whole time with LO. I also had GD. But thankfully everything worked out great and LO is wonderful! I'd love her to experience siblings as I am one of three and have a great relationship with both of my sisters.

lifesaverz · April 2014

I love the idea of having more babies, & I do think about it often & it makes me excited. But have I "forgotten"? Nope. Pregnancy & delivery were pretty rough for me, & I don't think I'll forget that. In reality I know we won't be trying until fall 2015 so I know I have some time.

notthecheat · April 2014

I want another one but not yet! Although I had an uncomfortable pregnancy, its the juggling of life, work and baby #1 im doing now that has me waiting

notthecheat · April 2014

Also, I hated being pregnant and couldn't wait to not be pregnant anymore. Then in the days after birth, I felt a little lonely without having baby always inside me, and wanted that feeling back. But my head was saying "are you crazy?? You couldn't wait to not be pregnant!" I was surprised I missed being pregnant so soon. Hormones maybe?

Don't miss it now though. Lol

JillSandm · April 2014

My first two were 2u2, and it was tough! Of course I lived 1500 miles away from family.

Now, after an 11 year break, I say bring on all the babies! Seriously - I'm almost 37 and have messed up cycles (anywhere from 18-91 days) when actually cycling. So getting pregnant is a crap shoot for me.

lp0 · April 2014

I have had a couple sad moments. One was looking at a pic of my bump and the other was seeing a pregnant woman the other day but that was definitely not enough to make me want to do that again. I feel blessed with two happy and healthy kids, I'm good

Ltpugs · April 2014

I thought I was crazy when I missed being pregnant as soon as Luca was born. I'm definately not ready to be pregnant again but still miss it.
We really need to start thinking about when we want to start TTC. It took us 18 months to conceive Luca... And never got a clear explanation why it took us so long. Luca decided to join us as we were being diagnosed. I most likely have PCOS.
Who knows how long a second one will take us. And I definately want to be done by the time I'm 40 so I don't have the pleasure of waiting too much longer.

All of the above! I thought DS1 was easy until DS2 was born. We want more in the future. Probably in about 3 years we'll try again and then have two back to back again and be done.

ladameperdue · April 2014

If DH could have the next one, and we could afford a night nanny, I would totally be on board for another one (or two or three).

This is basically me. If I had more time, I would absolutely have another now without thinking twice.

My best friend keeps asking when I'm going for number 2 and I told her when I have more time to devote to them. It really sucks working full time and seeing my baby for less than 2 hours a day.

frankierokx · April 2014

With the wonderful pregnancy I had /:) M has really opened up my eyes and I love being a mother. Maybe another two, maybe

Kermode61581 · April 2014

2 and through. Everyone talks about me having a third but I feel my family is complete. My SO would be happy if we had 2 more but I don't like being pregnant. So we are done and will make that decision permanent next summer.

This is us! Big age gaps and weird cycles, although those seem to have sorted themselves out. I keep waiting for common sense to kick in and tell me I'm crazy, but the older she gets, the more I want another one.

Did you do anything to sort out your cycles/hormones? DH is not to big on medical intervention. My cycles used to be spot-on 27 days. After ODD passed away, things went hay wire! Part of me wants to wean DD so that I can start tracking my cycles. I'm actually shocked that I haven't gotten a post-partum period since I only nurse 4 times per day and pump once or twice.

rkcaraway · April 2014

I'm so glad I'm not alone. I'm sure I'll never be pregnant again, but part of me longs for another baby as if twins aren't enough but also for a normal pregnancy.
