Who will be first?

post #1 of 37
Thread Starter 

So, as our babies are 3, going on 4 months old, I'm wondering who's going to get pregnant again first?!  Haha, there's got to be 1 set of Irish twins in our group, right?winky.gif  Def won't be me, but I must admit I think about another baby a LOT.  Anyone else got the fever creeping back in?

Ha, Ha.  I have been thinking about this a lot.  There is definitely a large part of me that feels there is another baby in our future and since I am not getting any younger the sooner the better winky.gif.  However, my cycles did not come back until DD was about 18 months old and now I am tandem nursing.  So, a part of me is ready, but another part of me would like to wait until DS is a bit older.  We aren't doing anything to prevent, so we will see what happens.

Dh and I Both want another soon but we aren't going to be together in the same household until July. I want an opportunity for a vbac too so we will definitely not start trying again until mags is 9 months and well only see each other once a month at that point so more realistically it'll probably be when she is a year

I have baby fever something terrible.  I want to be pregnant again sooo bad.  But I don't actually want another baby...so I am actively preventing pregnancy.  Not sure why I am craving pregnancy so bad either.  You'd think that after four pregnancies, it would be out of my system by now.

 

I've also been wondering and can't wait to see who the first one here will be to get knocked up lol.

All I can say is good luck and so glad it isn't me!!!   lol.gif After 4 babies, pg is certainly out of my system and I've moved on to the never ever again camp.

Not me! I do miss being pregnant, but I don't know if I want another kid at all, and if I do it won't be for a few years. 

 

But I hate being on the pill, it makes me so damn paranoid. I used to have the Mirena IUD and loved it so much. But with my new insurance it will cost over $500 to get a new one, so for now I'm just going to use the pill. To be honest, there's not much baby-making action going on anyway. By the time DH and I have a few moments alone in the evening, I'm usually so tired of being touched and interacting with another person that I just want to veg out on the computer and then go to bed early. hide.gif

Hopefully not us! I want to wait until he's two or three before having my next!

We're just using condoms, though, and since I haven't started cycling again, it's hard to know if there are days I should be abstinent. We shall see!

Yep, same here.  I almost got the Mirena, but chickened out at the last minute (DH didn't want me to get it and googled all these random side effects and managed to scare me away from it).  I definitely want at least 1 more, but I didn't enjoy being pregnant, and don't miss it.  I think I'd like to wait until Anton is in school and not still in diapers.  We'll see.

I am terrified of somehow getting knocked up again.  DH is getting snipped the first week of January (our health savings account renews for the year on January 1st), but until then I'm on edge.  Not that we're getting much/any action these days, but it only takes 1 lucky sperm...

After the day I just had?  done. definitely done.

I'm jealous of all of you who feel so strongly one way or another!  I hate this wishy-washy feeling; I want to really KNOW one way or another if I want to do this again, lol!!

DH is getting snipped very soon as well, just finishing up all the physicals, etc... required.

And that feeling is why I had #4.... I could of gone either way, in fact I had more sound reasons for not having another child then having one but that feeling just would not go away. It drove me nuts. I decided that I'd rather have another child then to go on and regret it in another 5 years ( I certainly was not waiting and then doing this all over again!). THis time the done feeling is so strong, I don't have any doubts now that I needed that other child to be ok with being done bearing children. It is a hard place to be in, no easy answers.

I've been wondering, too! We want more in the future, but I would like to wait 3 or so years. That being said, there are a few sets of Irish twins in our families and they really do all have special bonds. Anyway, we haven't really been doing anything to prevent it, but I get my IUD in about a week, which will be good.

post #19 of 37

I don't "feel done" but we are done.  It's hard some days but other days it feels perfectly right.  I'm ready for DH to get snipped so I can stop toying with the idea.  I think what makes me sure about not having more is the real risk we carry of having a baby with an unfortunate genetic disorder.  If that wasn't a possibility I don't think I could be ok with closing the factory just yet.

 

I can't wait to see who gets pg first from our DDC, even if it's in 2 or 3 years!

oh, me me me, please! blush.gif DH and I SOOOOOOooooOOOOOooo don't want to go through fertility treatments again, and we would much rather be surprised and overwhelmed with another pregnancy so soon than have to TTC again. I got my period back about a month ago and we have not been preventing, but we both don't really expect something to happen since it took us over 2 1/2 years the first time. Plus, we're both so exhausted with me going back to work that there hasn't been much action. Lots of ewcm, though. privateeyes.gif I have to physically restrain myself from thinking about that kind of thing because we're both still so traumatized from the ups and downs of TTC.

eta - if I don't get my period (um...yesterday) when I should, can that be normal while nursing? I did start waking up to pump in the night to help with my supply and making sure DD has enough food during the day while I'm at work. It's been four weeks since my last period, and I don't know when/if to expect it, and all I see is ewcm, and I refuse to think TTC thoughts (see how well I avoid it?)
