hi my daughter is 5 months and i can't help but dream about having another one already ! (if hubby would let me i would try now) i thought it would wear off but it hasn't, my mum said after my elder sister she was so scared she didn't want another one ever !!!! (she did have me 4 years later tho)

intrested to know how people felt after their first, did you think no never again ? or are you like me and can't wait ?

hey, if you think you can handle it....go for it! i have six and about 8 or so weeks away from the last one arriving....its not easy but i always say you can have just as bad a day with one child as you can with more....having big or little gaps has both good and bad points...just think the reality of it through...i love all my babies lots (the last four i have had in 6 years....honestly, i wouldn't recommend it!). very hard on your body and even if they are all good babies, is still pretty tough....that said, if i could go back and change it, i wouldn't....they're here now and you do get through the rough times

I am totally like you! I want to have another baby the day after I had my first...lol. I did however wanted to wait until the first was at least 2yrs old because I had a csection with him and wanted to try all natural with the second one, but by the time he was 18mths old we got another surpise...lol. I am really excited though and since about 25 weeks I have been having the major nesting with this one.

I also know we will have a third and I know I will be just as much wanting another one after this one is born, but I know I can wait until at least 2yrs.

Yeah, I want another one. My little girl is almost 6 months. I know we could not make it with another one so that helps, but ... i really want another one

I'm on the fence. My daughter is 3 weeks and I'm kind of really scared of having another one. I told my fiance she might just be an only child. He said he wants another one. Other times I also catch myself thinking about having another baby. I think I'm going to wait about 4 years so that she's old enough to understand and be a big sister.

you must have fell pregnant quick after you started trying Emily! I agree with Kylie id have 6 too if i could afford it haha. i started trying for my second when my daughter was 5 months because i knew it would take a while for me to conceive, so i wasnt bothered but never expected it to happen and it didnt. now shes going on 14 months and im feelings really desperate for another one so hoping it happens within the next 6 months or so.

I admit after i had my daughter i upset my partner quite a bit by saying im really sorry but i cant go thru this again i cant have any more natural kids. he said ok ill just have to accept having one daughter then i guess but he was really down. i quickly forgot about the pain and changed my mind! now he doesnt want to have another one just yet, but he thinks when the time is right it will happen.

Everyone always told me that you want another one so badly until your first turns 1. And then you kind of get over it. Thats exactly how I felt! I wanted to be pregnant again in the worst way, but my husband wanted to wait. When my son was about 13 months old, i was pretty much all set with never having another baby again! But then my husband changed his mind and wanted another. So we're pregnant with our second. And I'm already dreading the intense baby fever I'll have after this one is born! Theres no way i want 3 kids!

When bianca was born, my first initial thought was.....nope, no more!!!! i was happy with just the one. I had even convinced my hubby that we would only be having the one. But as time has passed, i've enjoyed each day more and more and my bub is such a beautiful, easy going baby that i can not complain. Now that she is turning 1 soon, i have had thoughts about having another one and the more i think about it, the more i want one. I spoke to hubby about this and he gave me the biggest hug and kiss...he didn't want to stop at one and was soooo relieved to have heard me say i wanted another one. We now have decided to start trying at the end of this year, so Bianca will be at least 2 years old.

You're not the only one. When I had my son I wanted to start trying again when i got the all clear from my ob/gyn (he was such an easy baby) but my husband just wanted to enjoy him for a while. We now have a 4 month old & I can't help myself I just want to try for 1 more already & she isn't an easy baby to say the least (she would turn anyone off having more.. lol).

My daughter is three months and I'm already bugging my boyfriend for another.
I've always wanted lots of children, so as soon as I was able I was like "Huney please?"
C-=
Unfortunately we made a deal.
We won't have anymore until we move back to California.
Which isn't even close to happening.
It kind of depresses me.

My son just turned 6 months on the 14th and I miss being prego, but don't think that I could handle another baby right now, he would be about 15-16 months old if i got prego now, and thats like havin 2 babies......it would be hard......but i would like to have another before my son turns 4

With my first baby i told everyone this was my first and last child, one was enough for me. But 3 years later i fell pregnant and was really scared. Hes now 6 months and I'm really feeling like having a third already. I don't think I will have another so close though as i want to give my son the one on one attention his sister got. But it would be nice to have another one..i love babies! If we were rich I'd have six i reckon:)

My son is six months and I can't stop thinking about having another! Our plan is to wait until he's 18 months before trying again, so we've got a year. I think because he's so easy right now, he can't run around and get into stuff, it makes me really want another, but I bet I'll decide I can wait a bit once he's older and a little more work. I still can't imagine how hard it must be to have a toddler and a newborn at the same time...or to even be pregnant and feeling like crap, but have a child to take care of at the same time!

When my son was 7 months old I wanted another baby really bad, but I was scared to. When my son was 3 1/2 we had a daughter who is now 16 months old and I'm not sure if I want another one or not. I want another because I love kids and I've always wanted more than 2, but at the same time I don't really want to go back to diapers. My daughter is potty training and it's going really well so I think by Christmas she'll be out of them. If I get pregnant again it won't matter because we'll have another baby and we'll be happy whether we have more or not.

My daughter is seven months and I can't wait til my husband says it is time to try again. When my daughter was born we said we would start trying in jan 10 but I def want another one sooner! You aren't alone!
