I want another!!!!!!

[minimunklemama]

anyone else got the baby bug already???
I don't know what it is.as if having maybe three hours sleep a night and then getting up at 6.30 with two little ones isn't enough.I want to put myself through it again already:
Dh was pretty adamant Ollie would be the last but now he is here I have a bundle of cuteness to use as my winover

So am i the only crazy one here???

Strangely enough, you're not alone here. Yes, I still want my baby girl. But this little guy is so darned cute I can't wait to push out another!! And my husband is totally psyched to have another asap : .

[amybw]

not here!

If i knew 100% my body would let me push out a baby i'd say yes, maybe in a couple of yrs...
but w/ 2 c-secs and epidurals- no way! i'm done!

Maybe in 2 yrs there will be a new way to birth : and i can do it

I totally felt that way after the first three. This last birth was the hardest by far though, and I haven't felt the baby bug yet. I'm sure it'll come eventually. This is the first time though that after giving birth my answer to this question - so, do you want to do this again? - has been differfent. I've always said yes. This time I nearly yelled - NO! That labor was really, really hard. My husband was totally shocked to hear me say no.

I don't want to be pregnant or give birth ever again, but I would absolutely have another babe in a heartbeat otherwise!

[coop_mom]

hmmm, i think i'd be happy to get this babe *out of my belly* before I start thinking of having another one!!

c'mon baby! the time has come to join the world

We'll have another - but I'm totally NOT ready for another. Some days, I'm not ready for the 2 I have

Honestly though, the transition from 1 to 2 has been much more difficult on me than I'd envisioned. So, that's playing a huge role in my readiness. Right now, I'm thinking 4 years between them sounds good.

No way. After 2 labors that just sucked in their own perverse ways (I strangely thought that this labor couldn't be worse than the 66 hours of labor I had with dd) I just don't think I am made for labor. Once I get to the pushing stage, it all becomes perfect, even with an epidural, even on my back, this pelvis is MADE for it. But the time leading up to it has been horrific both times. I love my babies, and maybe time will heal all wounds, but despite a real commitment to the natural birthing process, the preparation for it both times, I feel in some ways that my body fails me, and I just don't think I could do it again. Maybe in a year or two I will feel differently. Meanwhile, I am just going to continue to love the two beautiful children I have been blessed with!

[Fluffyblueberry]

well... I haven't had my first yet! But my friend assures me that within six months of having this one I'll be getting broody for another! I told her "no way" at first, but as I'm closer to the birth - I can imagine it. Although, I really, REALLY am not in a position to be having any more kids for a good few years yet. And I definitely want a good break from pregnancy, I haven't found it the easiest nine months...:

Nope, with having problems with pg and delivery both times, I don't want to go through it all again and take my chances with things being worse. Dh and I decided long ago that it would either be 2 or 4 kids since we both know lots of middle children who were very unhappy about their position in the family. Now that we have 2 we are ready to stop. I still love babies, I always have. Maybe in a few years we'll do fostercare for babies or adopt. But I don't want to be pg again. Like pp said, I feel like my body betrays me. Plus as much as I want to nurse, that never seems to go well either and I find myself getting really mad at my body for not being able to nourish my babies when that's what I really want.
