Handling another baby

Hello my name is Trina I am 22 years old an I have 2 wonderful children an one on the way. I have been married for 4 years today. It is scary having two but at the same time it is a blessing. My son is 3 an my daughter is almost 9 months, the two years between them is great he helps me out all the time with her. I think that waiting till she is three would be perfect but about ur wieght dont worry it is all baby fat an it may be hard to get off but u can do it. If u feel that having another child is wat u want then go ahead an dont let ur husband get u down. Just remember children are bleassing an u are blessed to be able to have them an raise them. Having two children is easy so dont be scared.

I have 3 kids, their ages are 4, 3, and 1 and a half...they are all 14 mos apart from each other. They were not planned that way...infact I was on the pill and breastfeeding! My body has changed dramatically since having kids. That is just the way it is! My husband loves me the way that I am! After my first baby, the weight flew off. My second one, was a little harder to loose, and the last one was the hardest to loose. I have accepted the fact that I am probably not going to be a six or 4 again...but that is okay because of how wonderful it is to have all the kids. It is a lot harder to have more kids, but it is so worth it if that is what you want. I love having the kids all close together and wouldn't change a thing...including the insane body changes! Good Luck!

Having babies means accepting the fact that your hips will spread, your shoulders will broaden (muscle) and your boobs will potentially sag or become lopsided. That with each baby you have the weight is harder to get off.



Trust me I went from a size 3 waist to a size 8 in 15 years & 3 kids. Granted when I was a size 3 I was pretty underweight but that was just my metabolism back then. I'm a healthier weight but its hard to adjust to being larger. I hate my hips, my butt, lol but when I look at my kids I would never trade it.



I'm looking forward to becoming a plump grandma someday.



Its a personal choice. Part of me wishes I had just had one child to lavish everything on. But having a larger family is awesome.

Yeah, he can be immature lol I really want to wait til she is about 3 so that gives me a little less than two years. I just hope it's a boy next so that way we have a girl and a boy!

I feel the same way but for other reasons. Its a personal decision. My son is 2 and I have not had another nor am I pregnant and I do want one. Having babies will change your body, there's no way around that. Your husband's attitude about it show his immaturity. (not saying he is immature) I think the benefits will defiantely outweigh the costs but never let anyone else ruin your happiness. If you and your husband feel it is the right time to have another one and you want one, I say go for it.
