Too soon to want another baby??
Hello.
I just recently had a baby girl.
Shes 3 months old, and I love her to death.
Ever since she was about a month old, I've been wanting another baby.
A boy.
My husband wants one as well, but is it too early to have another one?
In the pit of my stomach it feels like it might be too early, but my heart says YES have another one.
Any suggestions?
I think its a mixed feeling due to the fact that when I was pregnant I has severe swelling and blood pressure issues, but the baby was always fine.
Talk to me.
Thanks a bunch, and god bless!

I just had a baby girl feb 6 2007 and everything was going good.I went in to have her and wasnt aware i had a slow leak in most all fluid was lost she had gotten sick and pasted away. I am 36 yrs old and want another little girl i already have a 14yr old son.but want another little girl.I know it wont take the place of Janiyah but i want another girl.I am 36yrs old do you think i am to old? Have any one heard of when is the best time to concieve a girl vs boy? i would be blessed to have a healthy baby regardless but wishing for a girl so i can have a son,a daughter in heaven and one on earth. thank you
My oldest two are 15 mths apart. Think about it - my first one was barely walking when my second was born. I feel like she didn't get my undivided attention long enough. Now that they are 4 1/2 and 6, I wouldn't have it any other way - but early on, it was rough.. and you are talking even CLOSER together.. wowsers.. I would talk to others in the situtation and see what they say. Good Luck either way! -Jen
if i were you , i would allow your body to heal a bit. i would deffinately wait until your daughter turns one at least. just because you dont wanna put your body in shock . your body isnt healed and ready yet. besides, if you are doing this to have a boy, you may be disappointed. i would take this time to enjoy your little girl and give her the attention she needs. this is her time i think . good luck though with whatever you choose. ask your doctor for her opinion to.
Well I know it is healthier to wait closer to a year. between pregnancies. When a woman is pregnant the blood thickens, for the purposes of supporting the baby. And it takes a while for it to thin out. Getting pregnant again can cause clotting in your limbs. If those clots break free and enter you heart it could be fatal for you. Also your harmones are very elevated still, and this takes a while to get back to a normal level too. (LOL if you consider womens hormones to be normal, b/c mine make me feels crazy)But pray about it. And talk to your doctor about it. The bible says be fruitful and multiply, so this feeling that your having is very natural. All the terms and proper phrases are not coming to me right now but, look into it. And God Bless whatever you decide.
Oh boy.. you sound exactly like me.
I had my daughter 2/22/06. From the day she was born, I wanted another one. I have a 6 year old, my husband has a 9 year old and this was our first together.
When she was 3 months old, i actually got pregnant again. My son was born 2/22/07.
LET ME TELL YOU.. think it over and I would suggest waiting. Its great to have them so close, but its so hard. I cant go anywhere without my husband with me. Doctor appointments are impossible to do by myself because my daughter isnt walking and my son is so young, I cant carry them both from the van to the office, etc. At home, my daughter is starting to "cruise" (walk holding onto things). When she's throwing a fit, or getting into something she shouldnt get into, and Im feeding my son, Im stuck. if they both wake up in the morning at the same time screaming, Ive got a migraine by 8 a.m.
Dont get me wrong, I love my children and thank God every day for them... but I had NO idea it would be this hard. Funny thing is, I just had my son and Ive still got that "I want to be pregnant again" attitude. Luckily I closed the baby factory down when I still had my senses.
They're a great joy and when they get a little bit older Im sure I will just love the fact that they were born so close together, but for right now when they're both so young, its hard. Just keep that in mind.

Good to hear that she is feeling much better. One other thought is that they tend to have growth spurts around this time, maybe she had a hunger craving(for lack of another word) and couldn't get satisfied? Sometimes we just never know, and our firsts are truly "guinea pigs". Glad to hear back from you.
I wouldnt mind anothe girl either. As long as he/she is healthy thats all I care about. Im the 2nd of 5 girls as well. My husbands family is all boys, and my daughter is the only girl so far. LOL. Kaelynn's crying has gotten a bit better, she doesnt have an ear infection I took her to her doctor. She has slept through the night the past 2 days, so hopefully it was just an upset stomach or something to that extent. Thanks for the help on my other post. I got some tables from wal-mart, its for colicy babies, and they seem to be helping. She isnt teething yet, or as far as i can feel. No bumps on the gums. Thank heavens!!
I have two kids and I totally understand what you mean. My girls are 17months a part and I am so busy. Right now they are 2 and 9mon. I hardly sleep becuase the younger one is teething. THe laundry never stops because we are trying to potty train the older one which is hard because you get busy with the younger one and forget the trip to the potty and you have twice the mess to clean up now. As for when they are babies. Morning sickness really sucks when you have a tiny baby to look after. you can't just stop and sleep.
I love having them close. IT is just a lot of work. If I would have to go it again I may have waited until the older one was a year. Being that this is your first baby enjoy this time as you don't get to enjoy it the second time around the same way. Plus if you are breastfeeding it is really hard to know when to try as you don't ovulate. If you want to have them close give up breastfeeding sooner and give your body time to heal. Even if you feel great you still need time to get over the labour and pregnancy.

I think that it is great to have the kids close as long as your health doesn't interfere with caring for the little one. Sounds like you'd be a ok for it. Just remember it can go 50/50 with the baby's sex or so they say (I'm #2 of 5 girls). Also, just wondering how the crying of your little girl is? Hopefully better. Did she need any medical treatment or did it go away? Have a great evening. tmv
If you're stuck on only a boy, and would be disappointed with a girl, I think you should wait.
If you would be thrilled with another healthy girl, go for it!
