I know this is crazy but when i had Ava-Mai we had said we were going to have another baby once i had been to uni and we had both gotten our careers going (5-6 years time) but i can't help but think i want another baby as soon as Ava-Mai is a little older and its ok to start trying.
Is it normal to feel like this as soon as you have a baby, is it more like missing being pregnant do you think?

I know it is probably strange but i keep thinking i would love another A.S.A.P so i have kids close in age and now i kind of know what to expect with being pregnant and giving birth although i know it will be different second time around it doesn't scare me at all.
Has anyone else felt like this straight after having a baby and did the feeling subside?

Ava wasn't exactly planned to arrive so soon, we had talked about having children but for in a few years which is why im finding it strange i want more NOW!!! :lol:

I WILL wait the time we have said but i just wondered if its a normal feeling?

Personally I'd wait till she is at least 1 year old because think how your going to have to look after a baby whilst having a big bump etc and feeling tired. Not just the feelings but the emotions and actual physical changes to go along with it x
 
i will definitely be waiting until we are all ready but i really feel like i dont want to iykwim??
I want to enjoy Ava aswell so i know i will wait but its just a feeling i have about wanting another. :)
 
i think tbh its a completely normal thing that everyone goes thru! i'd personally wait til she's a bit older, i didnt exactly wait long and it is hard work! give it a couple of months and see how you feel then!!
 
I didn't want Any kids and knew within hours of jack that I wanted more :)
 
ive wanted another since codie was like two years old, i havent got round to it untill now and shes just turned six but i had the want when she was still tecnicly a baby i just didnt have chance so i dnt think your werong for frrling like that i know lots of mums with 18months in between there kids :)
 
I felt exactly te same after having Jacob and so did OH so we had unprotected sex once then decided that maybe it wasn't such a good idea. Bit late tho coz 11 month and 4 days after jacob was born along came Lucas.

Being pregnant, looking after a small baby and working full time was a killer. Having two kids so young was a nightmare at first. Would i change a thing.......nope, but would i reccoment it........definately NOT :lol: xx
 
I had my son, and then waited a year before trying, and we have a 23 month gap which is really nice.
Then after I had Toby, 3 days later (I was still in hosp after section), I decided that was it, I wanted another baby soon, and I'm not girly so don't think it was for a girl.

We waited till they said safe to have sex after section due to infection etc , and then got trying, luckily it took a couple of months, as toby and Briony are 13 mths apart, he learnt to walk when I was in hosp having Briony!! and carrying both kids after section not great, also pushing a double buggy with a toddler on a buggy board too !

Looking forward to just one this time, with my kids being older, but I would do it again the same tomorow, if huby would relent and let me have 5 kids !

wait 2 months, see how you feel once hormones less and your more settled , then if still right for you go for it, hard work tho

I felt the same hun, and even now still get notions where I'm like I NEED another baby rather than wanting! I think it's just part and parcel of us being hormonal ladies :lol: Once I get that feeling I have to mentally speak to myself and say what I want for Odhrán and us before we add another baby to the family xx
 
i was actually sat here last night thinking i'd quite like another :shock: sod that tho! must have been a moment of fleeting madness :lol:
 
The feeling for another one so soon has started to go i am very happy to say!
we have decided to wait at least 4 years so i can do my nurse training plus i want time with Ava-Mai before we even think of adding another one to our little fambo :)
 
WHOOOAH am i the only one who definitely does NOT want to be pregnant again for a loooong long time???

I dont think i will ever want to be again tbh. i love my baby sooooo much and shes an easy baby but i just dont want another one!!!
 
^^^ Im so glad someone said it before me!! I cant think of anything worse that could happen to me right now than falling pregnant again!!!
 
the first 2 months i definitely didnt want any more, but now.... lol i have thought about it, and OH has said that if we had another one he doesnt want the age gap to be too big, so maybe like 2 years apart or something? hes said that since iw as pregnant though! I never thought id say it but i def miss being pregnant and im already missing connor being 1day, 1 week, 1 month etc! but its def NOT a practical thing for us to do the now! x
 
I hated being pregnant, I found it really difficult and seemed to be ill with one thing or another the whole way through. Towards the end I was desperate for it to be over and for my baby to be here safe. The mad thing was as soon as he was here safe and sound I instantly missed being pregnant and wanted to do it again soon, I would like to enjoy it more and worry a lot less, also listen less to other people and trust my own instincts, especially in the early days of having a new baby, plus my birth experiance was bad, so i'd like a home birth and to be in control next time. I thought it was hormones and my OH thought I was mad, but I still would quite like another fairly soonish. When I fell pregnant with William I believed it couldn't happen naturally due to past experiances so i'm not even sure if i would be lucky enough again, and thats ok. I'm just going to see what happens and if its meant to be, i'd happily go through it again. I appreciate what you are saying though Toon, I bet its really hard x
