I want another baby!!  

post #1 of 22
Thread Starter 
Call the press I've changed my mind!!

Took dh a few days to swallow my hormonal ramblings, but I'm pretty sure this just can't be my last bebe...

Pregnancy sucks... labor was my mount everest, but I can't imagine not doing this one more time!!

ASnyone in the same boat??

Emmmm, no way, I am SO done.
But I felt unfinished last time, so listen to your heart... b/c now, I feel totally complete (and totally overwhelmed, and totally insane ).

Gotta agree with BirthFree on this one! If there is going to be another, it will be via adoption!

Also in the club 4th and I'm soooo going to get fixed at the end of July! But even though I felt done with my last pregnancy it just feels right now, like we are finally complete. Maybe the universe has something else in store for you guys and your heart is telling you. . .maybe not but you can wait to make final choices in regards to birth control

Well we are aren't doing anything permanent for birth control. I thought I wanted 3 babies, but now am quite content with 2. We will see in a year how I feel.

Except for a moment last night when I was wretched out of a deep sleep by one kid calling for water and the baby waking and me thinking "what have I done to myself!" I am with you. Dh and I have already been talking about #4! (but I do wonder if I am crazy)

Rhaevyn was barely a week old and I was watching Ken hold her and asked him if he was ready for #2 yet. My labour was long but it was a breeze, even after pushing for 3 hours and having a c-section at the end of it all, I would do it all over again in a heart beat.

In theory I would love to have another child. Saying that Mateo is our last makes me very sad. I also have had two amazingly empowering births and I would (sick as this sounds to some) love to give birth again. Given my earlier post about my dd's reactions to the new baby and the lack of sleep, I would be crazy to do it again.

Dh is also done, so I have to be happy with the two blessings I have!

After ds, I was ready to go again right away. Literally before the placenta was out, I said "let's do that again!" This time, I wasn't quite as enthusiastic since my labor was more intense. But I can't envision being done at this point. I just want to get through our cruise in March, then I'm ready for another. I miss pregnancy a little.

I'm soooo not done. I just have to get through school first.

All I'm going to say is I spent my whole pregnancy telling everyone I'm done forever, and now she's here and I keep telling everyne I'm done forever,............ but oddly enough,.......... I feel the baby bug too.......

God save me........

I'm in the 'never say never' club ..... and everyone thinks I am crazy.
Both DH and I are from families of 5 children, so it's not out of the question.

Having said that .... I am going to be VIGILANT with my NFP charting! I DO like the 2-3 year span, but that will make me 38-39 and PG. Phew ....

We are absolutely going for another... which will probably, though not definitely, be our last. We've already been talking about timeframes for pregnancy and spacing.

Dh is thrilled, he'd be happy if we had a baker's dozen, but I was having a hard time w/ this pregnancy and was worried about the labor. But, I just can't imagine this being the last time... it makes me a little heartsick to think that we're even getting close to having our last babe.

So, put me down in the insanely large family club!!

stick a fork in me... I am done!!! D. O. N. E. Done.

I have no desire to know what a 4th permutation of my labours would be like, this one just about drove me insane. I also have that complete feeling, and my sanity wouldn't survive another pregnancy (I don't like it much, but I can't describe why).

I feel like I have just enough parenting left in my for these 3, and that's it.

I never feel done but dh is an only child so - can you imagine what goes through his head w/4 kids,lol?? Dh would get a vas. if I was on board. I'll never be. We can use bc (it's his dept. I don't do pills) but vas. is so permanent. I wouldn't want to be in a position where we regretted our decision and couldn't reverse it.

Ramble, ramble, ramble 4 is plenty, 4 is crazy, we will be overwhelmed at times but it makes me heartsick, too to think that this is the last - and I know it is - according to dh - and I think he'll be more vigilant about bc this time. I just keep thinking about missing out an some amazing little person b/c we "roadblocked" him/her. Oooooh, I'm sad Insane, too, but sad. *sniff*

This is about where I'm at. We toyed with this being the last and with the difficult labor, that kind of sealed the deal. But, neither of us are doing anything permanent and while I'm selling my maternity clothes (after 13 years), I'm not saying never. Neither is dh.

We'd like more. I've always seen myself with six kids, so... we'll be waiting a couple of years, though. Especially because Maggie was unplanned and the timing wasn't wonderful.

soooooooo not done
i want at least 1 more, but 4 would be nice!!!:
post #19 of 22
Hmm, could be the last one. The next three years will definitely be pregnancy free for me. I sold all of my maternity clothes- that is how sure I am.
post #20 of 22
if i am dreaming dont wake me, i dont know if its m y placenta pills, or what but i have been on a euphoric high since she came with no worries and nothing but optimism. i was happy with ds, but now its exponential! i guess im saying never say never....
