Im already 3 months pregnant with my 4th Oliver is just 7 months old so will only be 13 months when this one arrives was a complete shock but we are all very excited looking forward to a christmas baby !!!

Kristina, sorry to hear about your loss!

But for me, HELL NO! No getting pregnant at all ... not til Wes is at least 3 will we even start thinking about having another one. My pregnancy with Wes was great, the delivery was terrible (the almost dying thing sucked), and Wes is an absolutely easy baby, I mean - easy as pie. He's starting to move and getting a little harder to keep up with, but nothing hard ... having said that - again I say no to baby number 2 any time soon. I see pregnant women,and I definitely get a little nostalgic and maybe even a little jealous .... but I am personally not ready to go there. My bro and I are 4.5 years apart, and we are fantastic friends. That's what my husband and I want for our kids too!

Isn't it funny what one beautiful baby can do to you?? I am the same, every month i ask myself "should i not take my pill this month??" My husband would be happy for another but i've just started back at work 2 days a week so we might wait til Scarlet turns 1 in November and then try again. I miss being pregnant!! I also had the best labour experience so i was very lucky. I'm a bit nervous that I might not get so lucky with number #2 though!!

I want another one as well! I have been for a while now, I'd like to have kids close together. We will probably wait till I finish nursing school in a year and a half, but we'll probably end up trying before school is out...it won't be a big deal to be pregnant the last couple of months of school. I'm glad I'm not the only crazy one who's been wanting another baby.

it is so funny to read everybodys answers!

I had a very very very very hard pregnancy and an even harder labour! I have to admit that afterwards I thought it would be forever until I got pregnant again! But I do want my kids to be close in age and even if "by accident" i got pregnant soon, i would be soo soo happy! But my husband and i have agreed not to try to get pregnant for at least a couple years! Also my son is a VERY VERY easy baby...anyone who has met him always says the same thing! I don't find my job hard at all and he sleeps ten hours a night! But as some say, watch out for # 2, which kind of makes me wanna wait haha

we agreed to discuss #2 when pen's a year old...so we'll see:)

So glad I found this post!!! I have wanted baby number two ever since my little boy was 3 months old!!!! I just said to myself I was crazy and it would probably go away soon..... well now my baby boy is 7 months old and i want a baby SO BAD!!!! I am actually going on Monday to get my IUD removed!! I had the IUD inserted right after I had my little boy bc i thought I wanted to wait 3 years until the next... but now that I am in all the baby chaos.. might as well do it now, right!?

My husband and I are not having any more. Some ways it is kind of sad but others way I am happy we are done. We have 2 boys & 1 girl

Tatham - posted on 06/14/2009

part of me is ready for another one, and the other part of me is having so much fun watching my son discover new things on a daily basis....but when i see pregnant women and see pictures of myself when i was pregnant i miss it so much...my husband on the other hand wants another baby, but not now...i hope we will start trying when our son is around 1 1/2...but hopefull i'll be able to push that up by a few months.

Amanda - posted on 06/13/2009

I am still BF and p;an on doing so untill my son gets his teeth. I really want another also. I think that the little baby is gone and forgoten about by the time they are 6-7 months and it makes it seam like a cool idea to have another. I miss the being pregnate. I miss the kicks and the moving. I think that once my son is ready for the potty we will be ready for another one. I really want more.

Krista - posted on 06/13/2009

We're planning on trying again next May, when our son will be a year and a half, that way they'll be around 2 years apart. I have crazy baby fever already, but I'm sure I can wait if I really try lol! I need to put in a year at work to get another full mat leave, so it should work out good.

NO WAY do I want another one right now :-)

My daughter is 6 and half months and she is a handfulll and even if I think about giving birth again I start shaking :-). A while a go I was bit broody because I saw a lot of little babies and my daughter seems so big compared to them but I want her to enjoy being a baby and when we have another one I want the new baby to enjoy being a baby as well...

Sadie - posted on 06/12/2009

Well now I feel a bit off that I totally do not want to be pregnant again anytime soon. I had a really hard pregnancy and delivery and I'm still tired! lol...

Ashley - posted on 06/12/2009

after my son was born i didn't want anymore for a long time cuz i had a really hard labor, but i'm getting married in august and me and my fiance are gonna start trying for number 2:) I want mine close so that my son won't be as jealous.

Ginni - posted on 06/12/2009

I was just talking about that with my husband. A part of me wants one now & or at least to start trying, but a part of me wants to enjoy my son. I keep going back & forth. It's nice to know I am not crazy for wanting another one though

Congrats. best of luck

Congrats Caroline!!!! I Know What You Mean. I Just Helped My Friend Deliver Her Baby Boy The Other Day And It Was Amazing. My Daughter Just Turned 7 Months Yesterday And I Want Another One So Bad. I Want Them To Be Close. I Dont Care About The Diapers. And Well There May Be A Chance We Are Pregnant Now. There Was An Issues With A Lost Condom On Day 12 Of My Cycle So I Guess We Will See What Happens.

Again Congrats! They Will Be Best Friends!!!!

Caroline - posted on 06/11/2009

Thanks so much everyone! I'm glad there are other women who think having two close together could be great. I actually found out yesterday that I'm pregnant! They'll be 15 months apart and I'm so excited!

Rachel - posted on 06/11/2009

YES! I'm not planning to try now, but oh how I want to! I am in crazy baby mode. My hubby is running away from me, haha. My sister and I are 18 months apart and we are best friends, so I've always wanted to have kids close together. My husband isn't ready, he says he doesn't want 2 kids in diapers. But I think it's worth the extra work to have your children be close.

Jen - posted on 06/11/2009

I definately want another baby right now! I don't know why I've gotten 'Baby Fever' all of the sudden, but that's all I can think about now. :) I'm glad I'm not the only one, it makes me feel a little better. Everyone I mention it to thinks I'm crazy-including my husband. We have some bills to try to pay off and then hopefully I can talk him into start trying for #2.



At first I wanted my kids 3 years apart, but now I'm thinking them being closer in age wouldn't be such a bad thing. I keep reading that the closer they are the better they get along later. Besides, having kids is chaos at times...sometimes all of the time, but it's also tons of love & laughs.

The day my LO was born I was saying how I want another one, I wouldn't mind trying now but he isnt ready so I say that when our LO turns 2 I wanna try again

Tanya - posted on 06/10/2009

i alway thought i would want to wait for couple years between kids, cause my sister and i are 7 years apart but we're like best friends. But i'm finding it hard to see pregnant women or just born babys with out feeling like 'ohhh i want that!!' and my prince is only 7 months. Yup if i had it my way, i'd be trying again

Kristina - posted on 06/10/2009

I thought i wanted another one right away, but now that i just found out I am pregnant again i feel a little overwhelmed, only because I dont know how i will possible be able to have enough time for both of them. But i am totally excited and am sure it is going to work out, and OMG im having another baby, yeah...

Susan - posted on 06/10/2009

I think you are all crazy :)

I'm am soooooooo not ready to have a second. This one is a handfull as it is and at this point my thoughts are he might be the only one. I know people say you start to forget all the bad stuff.... but with a little man that is non stop and still has many freakouts for no reason in the day makes you not want more.

Laura - posted on 06/10/2009

yeah i do aswell but i dont think it will happen until sean is 2 at least

Beth - posted on 06/09/2009

I'm single , so it would be a little hard at this stage. Game plan for me is to take in foster children after Sloan is 3. But I would in a heart beat if I was happily married or in a committed relationship. I would be trying now.

Kelly - posted on 06/09/2009

I didn't think that I would want anymore kids ever, but now that I have Evan, and he is almost 7 months old, I want another one........i think that having kids close in age would be great.....i don't know how soon i will have another one, but would like one sooner than later....and i don't really know if i am ready, but i do want another....i guess we will see how it goes....and if it happens than ill be happy and if not, it will when the time is right......
