Another baby already

[Shelz90]

Hi ladies. I had my son 6 weeks ago and also have a daughter, nearly 6. I love both my kids more than anything and always said i would be more than happy with 2. But since about a week after having my son im dying to have another 1 or 10 (haha joke). I just loved the experience so much and had a really easy birth this time round. My oh is dead set against it and says to wait another couple of years (we are financially very stable) but i don't know i just feel so empty inside and really want another one. Is it possible that this is my hormones being crazy? Is it normal to feel like this, could it pass. Am i crazy? I mean we are still doing night feeds and haven't got a proper nights sleep in over 2 months. 

Any comments or advice is greatly appreciated, im 22 by the way..:)

tandem feeding is when you feed your new born and your other baby/toddler, so your bascially feeding two bubs :)

I'm wanting another one right after this one is born so i am going to everones plans are diff. my sister in-law has 7 kids literally one born every year  since her and my bro got married :) talk to ur doctor first though

What is tandem feed?

[stacey10]

Its a personal preference, some like their children close, others like a space in between,  whats right for one isnt necessarily right for another, and just because you choose to have your children  close doesnt mean they dont get the same amount of love and attention, they also get that from their siblings as well, also pregnancy isnt a sickness, something to get over, if your pregnancy and birth was uncomplicated, you can get pregnant as soon as you feel up to it, if that wasnt so, we wouldnt get our periods back until a couple of years after we gave birth....( some obviously dont if they're breastfeeding)

I think it might be hormones talking :) God gave us them to reproduce more than once lol Enjoy your precious baby while you have energy to! Remember how tiring the first few months are? Morning sickness and diaper changes are very difficult at the same time, doing it right now. And imagine a teething 1yr old with a newborn..that's when they get their molars. But hey the Duggers did it 19 times ;)

I agree, give it time, let your hormones settle. Your body needs to recover. You have a newborn, give him the love and attention you gave your first without throwing pregnancy and another newborn in the mix. It's not like time is against you to have more, you're still young and have many, MANY childbearing years ahead of you.

I say u wait u dont want to rush your body needs to heal u just had a baby so give it some time dont rush into it right way u want to make sure that u can give both kida your attention before u have another one

[stacey10]

just go with how you feel, you will know when the time is right for you, or you could just leave it up to fate :) you should lethe small stuff slide though so you dont get stressed so much, especially with a new born, the best advice I got told was if you manage to have a shower, clean your teeth your having a great day, it doesnt matter if the dishes dont get done for a day until night, and I also enlist the help of the older children, most kids usually love to help as it builds their self esteem and confidence :)

I have never wanted something so bad as another baby right now and on the other hand cant imagine life with a 6 year old, 1 year old and a newborn i get stressed as it is with 2. I know i would convince my oh and his "no" is softening i have already got him from no more kids to the next one. Am i just rushing into things? Should i wait?

[stacey10]

oh and you dont have to give up breastfeeding, you can feed while pregnant, if your nipples will allow lol and you can also tandem feed :)

[stacey10]

I think I'm crazy,....  not, but everyone else does, as soon as I've had a baby I want another one, I'm curently on number 10 and hoping for number 11 but it does seem unlikey for me, due to egg  issues and age,  I dont think I've had a full nights sleep in 21 yrs lol, but if you feel this way, just go with your feelings and dont let anyone sway you otherwise :)

I just had my baby 6 days ago and feel the same way! This is baby number 5 and labor was awful!!! My bf wants another one too just not at the moment! But I won't right now cuz I'd have to give up nursing my lil guy! I'm going to wait maybe two years!

Some people want big families.
Some people like taking care of babies for years.
Some love being pregnant.

You arent weird. But I would get an okay from your doctor AND your man before making the final decision.
