Anyone want to be pregnant again...now.

[dawncayden]

Anyone?
I felt this way 1 week PP

And life is crazy...and I want to be pregnant with a toddler and newborn? :

Realistically, no...I don't want my milk to dry up and yeah...its crazy

[IncaMama]

oh H*LL no.

i'm very much done.

but i think it's awesome that you do! i'm glad that you're feeling well and lovin' life! that's fantastic!

[MI_Dawn]

Well, me. But I don't think I'm quite who you meant that for.

I remember after my third I wanted to be pregnant right away like you do. My son was born 14 months later.

I did! It was a total surprise to feel that way! It took us over two years to even consider #2 and I'm not sure my DH was ever convinced regarding #2!!! But here he is! I had a harder pregnancy and delivery, so that is another reason I'm surprised I had these feelings early post-partum. Could also be because we are done...and I have two boys. I guess that's normal to wonder what it would be like to have a little girl if you've got only boys....

I came here to post and ask about some suspiciously fertile cervical mucous, and found your thread. Hmmmm....

To answer your question- no way! But I do have a raging libido, so there may be something there. Like my biology over-riding my logic.

Does anyone else have discharge that looks like fertile mucous? I'm 5 weeks postpartum. I've charted before and my cervix feels lower than I would expect for ovulating. But it feels generally lower anyways. I'm nursing every 2-4 hours around the clock and co-sleeping. We are using a pacifier, though. I didn't start ovulating or get PPAF until 20-21 months postpartum with Neela, and only then when I tried to night-wean. Please tell me this isn't likely- because I haven't been using any birth control

i'm so here with your feelings at only 3 weeks pp

and i'm thinking i've lost my mind seeing as I haven't figured out having a 3 year old and a newborn yet. I remember having the same feelings after dd was born. For me the most powerful I ever feel in life is when I'm giving birth. It was much more intense this time, but still powerful feeling.

PP bleeding is down to just spotting and I want to jump my dh

I felt that way after DS1. That pregnancy was so easy. And I felt sure that I was meant to have many children.... I wanted them so badly, I'd get phantom kicks in my womb.

But this pregnancy was rough. It really exacerbated my existing health problems. I feel lucky that baby and I both got through it okay and I don't want to tempt fate again.

I do feel a sudden sense of unreadiness for DP's upcoming vasectomy now that I am PP though. Logically I know that another pregnancy would be a bad idea for my body.... I don't want to do it. But thinking about closing that door forever kinda makes me tear up.

[wobblykate]

nope...loved being pg, love being non-pg! good to go (and still a little sore)

[BethSLP]

nooooooooo.

I was so miserable at the end of my pregnancy. I'm so glad I'm done. I had sleep apnea at the end of it, and couldn't breathe at night. It was terrifying. I got a cold 1 week pp and when my nose started getting congested, I had flashbacks to that suffocation feeling and started panicking .

I think my body only had enough mojo to carry 2 babies. Any more, and I'd be a hot mess by the end of it.

Also having PIH twice is quite enough for me. argh.

I love my babies, but I'm not one of those people who loves being pregnant.

XOXO

I felt that way after I had my third. I wanted to get pregnant right away! It was a burning desire. It ended up taking almost 2 years before I was expecting again, and I had that burning desire the whole time!!

I keep telling my pregnant friends that I wouldn't mind still being pregnant because it was so much easier pop into the grocery store, etc. with LO still inside.

[nancy11]

Hellz no.

[Murph12334]

ok, i'm already back from replying last night - I can't handle these two - while the idea of being pregnant is nice sounding...i think i'll loose my mind with these two

[liseux]

At first I missed it, but now I am enjoying being done with it for now. I like seeing the little guy and not wondering how he's doing inside. I do miss the energy I had in the 3rd tri though!

[honeybunmom]

not.at.all.

Glad to see you still around here some! I read your blog last night, oh mamma it was sooo moving! You are an amazing writer and I'm amazed that you can blog about it at this time. I think of you daily and hope that when the time is right for your family, you will be blessed with a healthy baby.

We've put the vasectomy card back in the box...it's just too soon to make that decision, we are still in our 20's, who knows how I'll feel in 4 years. Though right now we still don't plan on having anymore, so we are going back to condoms, Yuck! This last pregnancy/delivery was hard on me so I'm not sure I want to do it again ever...though I do somewhat miss being pregnant, I LOVE having baby here better.

I think it's funny that I carry babe in the same place with the wrap as preggo but to me it is easier to have babe being carried out than in. I worried more with the in and was sooo uncomfortable and cranky!!!

Blogging is good therapy for me.

And thanks... I hope so, too.

Yeah, I'm there too since like 2 days PP! For me though, it's knowing that my family isn't complete with just one baby. I really want to let Xander self-wean before TTC#2. DH is insistant that we'll only be a family of 3 but I don't see him in any hurry to schedule an appointment with Dr. Snip

[larkish]

Yeah... thinking of another... but not realistically. I know when this one gets mobile I'll be rethinking it all!!

I told DH that DS #2 is already growing too fast!! He says "he's only a week!" SO!! I know he's going to grow too fast especially since DS 1 has seemed to grow so fast and is now a big brother!!

[BennyPai]

I loved being pregnant and I missed that feeling almost immediately. Not the discomforts - the movements, the anticipation, the way I just was so full...

I definitely have more than enough on my plate right now with my 3, though ... especially after yesterday's shinanigans.
