Anyone else?

Ok, is it completely normal to have the urge to get pregnant again? I want to enjoy my first for another few years before event thinking about getting pregnant again. We're having our struggle that all first time parents get and SO is taking it pretty hard as well, but for a couple of days I've been thinking of more babies and SO as well. I obviously don't want another baby now because of our age and financial wise it would be a struggle for 2 babies... How are you guys dealing with this? I think I'm just going crazy 8-}

I'm the total opposite. I love my little girl, but this whole experience (pregnancy through baby blues/ppd) has me thinking maybe one is right for me.

karacakes98 · April 2014

I want more! I went and had Mirena put in last week just in case I went temporarily insane

wearebirds · April 2014

Have ALL the babies!!!!!!!!

That's how I was at first, except I had a very easy labor, but now I can't stop thinking about having more! I was surprise when my SO kept asking if we could start having another, which REALLY caught me off guard. I just don't know how to handle things right now

We originally talked about starting to try again around 6-9 months (it took almost a year for DD). I'm totally cool with this timeline still, but now I'm not so sure about DH

But then I realize that trying around 6 months is ONLY three months away...

dannie2011 · April 2014

The baby bug is gone for me, my limit is 6.

cdnmomma · April 2014

I hated being pg but today at dinner I said to mh I want another one ASAP

We want more. We initially said we'd wait 2 years, then 18 months, and now were thinking anytime around LO's first birthday to try. At this rate it could be sooner!

This is us exactly!

myfriendscallmemeg · April 2014

I always wanted 3 or 4 kids! Now that I have one and survived pregnancy & childbirth I'm afraid that number is dwindling. I just can't imagine surviving 2.5 trimesters of morning sickness while also trying to take care of a tiny human.

I was also sure I'd want them two and a half years apart... Now. Not so much.

rockopera · April 2014

We've already started talking about #2. And it took me a year to get KU with M. So I'm thinking about starting to try in about a year. But the idea of 2u2 scares me.

CruiseGirl28 · April 2014

I'm ready! Lol. Not quite yet, but soon. We need to move first though, and I need a new job. But we would have 9 months right??

This is us exactly! I'm on the fence about the 2u2 thing, but who the heck knows

Also, I was dead set on only having 2 when we started trying...now I'm not so sure

PerkyErky · April 2014

I know I want one more. DH is fine with 2 but he can be persuaded. It won't be for 2 years at least though.

bumpuser1282882 · April 2014

We always thought we would have two but at this point I'm not really sure. I miss sleep.

kaking78 · April 2014

I did this math today: we want another. I'm 35 and DH is 37, so it will have to be sooner rather than later. I want the option to try for a VBAC next time, so we'll probably start trying in August or September of 2015. I freaked out a little when I realized that's the summer after this one.

mrsdahamm · April 2014

I want all the babies!!! But not yet lol I told DH we can't try for another one until we pay the hospital bills for this one

we also want to move to a new house before another. Our current plan is to start trying when LO is a year old.

bunniekrissy · April 2014

Of course it's not crazy to want to be pregnant again. It would be crazy to want to be pregnant again NOW ;-)

I have 2 and I still want 2 more, but want to wait until LO is at least 18-24 months before trying for another, leaning toward waiting until he is 2, but we'll see how we feel about it.

BrideNamedMeg · April 2014

I think it's normal to want to be pregnant again, but the toddler stage will likely put a damper on the immediacy of that desire

I should answer properly.

I was on bed rest the second half of this pregnancy and still delivered early. If I became pregnant again, it's possible I would end up on bed rest again. Impossible, with a toddler and a husband who works overseas.

I've also mentioned a few times that my doc doesn't do "preventative" cerclages until I have had three "failed" pregnancies. So nope. I will not risk losing a child. It WOULD be a fight until I got that stitch put in.

My husband always wanted only one. I want two, and now that lo has started sleeping better, id love it. But I know how hard the no sleep was the first few months were TOUGH and I don't know how STMS do it!

I still think this makes your dr an asshat.

tsmith312 · April 2014

I think about getting pregnant all the time , but I was a pregnancy . We will most likely start trying again next summer ( 2015 ) , I just know me and if I wait any longer then that Harper would be an inky child . But as far as right away negative , she has her witching hour and is fussy for a couple hours every night. I'm good for a little bit . But hopefully more kids will be in our future .

KTdid81 · April 2014

I love little man a lot. He's perfect. I don't want any more.
My husband and I both wanted two, but after trying to get pregnant, a nightmare delivery, and a month of no sleep - no thanks. My husband still wants another. I'm one and done.

teachermommy9967 · April 2014

I've had 2 amazing pregnancies and my labour and delivery of DS was quick and pretty easy (despite having to be induced at 41 weeks). And even though I'm exhausted I keep thinking that I would love another baby when DS is 2....that's the age gap between DS and the twins and it's been great! My husband on the other hand says absolutely not and is ready to book his snip snip appointment. I'm not ready to be done with this phase of life but don't think I will be able to convince him to have 4u4.

YankeePeach08 · April 2014

My H is done, he's happy with his 3 boys but I would get KU again In a heartbeat...even if it meant having twin boys again.

I will add that the age gap between DS1 and the twins has been perfect, 3.5 years. dS1 is potty trained, able to help with little things and easily entertains himself...just a thought for those thinking of a timeline for #2.

This was my thought for when we have #2. Start trying right before she turns 3. I'll be 32, and she'll be old enough to be a little independent while I have another baby to care for. Glad to know it's working for you

Same with us. But after the shock of caring for DD1, I thought I was done. Then that feeling wore off and I realized how important it was to give her a sibling. What's one more added to the mix of the looney bin we've become?? :P

Heeeeellllllll. No. lol

amdecker1016 · April 2014

I hated being pregnant...no thats a lie. I hated being sick and not keeping anything down almost the entire 40 weeks.
If i could be promised no HG just regular morning sickness i'd do it again in a heartbeat.

That being said, i do miss the kicks and the bump.

My H wants to start trying next month..i'm not as enthused.

I figure and someone tell me if i am wrong. With three miscarriages and mia i am bound to have multiples come up soon right?

SamJustice · April 2014

I'm pretty sure I would be the next Duggar if FI would allow it. I love being pregnant and having babies. I had considered becoming a surrogate, but I think havine two preemies disqualifies me.

It took me until DS1 was 2 to even think about being pregnant again. I'm thinking if I ever get close to that feeling for another it'll be around the same time. H and I are both in agreement though, my body just doesn't handle delivery well at all. Each time I hemorrhaged pretty badly. So IF we have any more children it'll be by adoption.

My body also didn't like delivery either. I think my husband is scarred for life after watching me lose a cantaloupe sized blood clot, and subsequently see the nurse try to keep her cool as all hell broke loose.

kimberpoo · April 2014

nooooooooo way, too soon for me. I agree with some PP's ; when LO is 3 or 4 then maaaaaaaaybe I'd think about one more. we started out wanting 2, and pg was super easy and wonderful for me, but delivery was FREAKING INTENSE and the days following have been very hard. I am so in love with my LO, but I don't know if I can manage all that again while taking care of him too.right now I'm glued to the couch all.day.long. feeding and caring for him. I havent even figured out how to make food for myself without someone here to help so how could I care for a lo and a toddler? nope

maybe when my mom retires so she can help.

I'm kinda in this category at the moment except replace pregnancy with csection recovery. I absolutely adore my baby but it is such hard work that I keep thinking... one and done! I've always wanted 2 and I'm sure once we're out of the fog and once LO is sleeping through the night I'll have a change of heart... but at the moment I am not even close to thinking of getting prego

I frequently remind myself of your posts about how your LO is sleeping so much better... the light at the end of the tunnel

WoodShopGirl · April 2014

I didn't have a horrible pregnancy but I definately didn't enjoy it.

That being said, MH and I have always wanted 3. He is 34 and I am 31 and we would like to be done by the time I am 35. That means we basically have to pop the next 2 out pretty back to back. Yikes!

And I don't have a great track record with only one Fallopian tube, so it may take us a little longer than most to get KU.

boymom312 · April 2014

This is a topic that DH and I don't agree on. I've always said we'd start with 2, see how it goes and maybe add a 3rd. DH says 2 only. He's from a family with 3 and I'm of 4. I loved having so many siblings! You have choices on who to play with

either way our plan is to get pg mid-to late next yr. I'm already 34 so we've gotta get cracking if I have even a shot at a 3rd.

ProudMommy030614 · April 2014

I want more!!! 3 just isn't enough!!!

H doesn't agree

farmrose · April 2014

We've already started talking about #2, well probably start trying around the beginning of next year. This was #1 and we want a big family, probably 4. I had a great pregnancy and delivery. I feel like I found something I'm really good at

. Having ALLL the babies!

babylimas · April 2014

Not to be TMI but my H and I had our first failed condom in 11 years of use the other night. I've already had 2 periods and it would be the right time. Holy shit I don't want to be the first one pregnant on this board.
