SHOULD I WANT ANOTHER BABY ?

Question

My baby girl is about to be four months we both want another child .. when I was pregnant I was miserable !! I actually said I hated it and wouldn't eat pregnant again ! But guess what I miss the belly ! Lol and I'm so in love with my daughter Julianna that i actually want to do it all over again lol are there moms out there like this .. I want to know how is it having kids back to back or should I wait til my daughter is potty drained I don't want to be having two children in diapers neither lol I never thought I'd be so in love n now I want another one ? Welp 😂😆

Answer

My doctor told me having kids back to back is a lot for your body to handle, it doesn't give you enough recovery time. So I waited until my son was a year old before my husband and I started trying for number 2. And I am currently 15 weeks pregnant and my son will be 2 months shy of 2 when baby brother or sister is born. So they will be close in age but enough I think for my son to play w oth him/her and love him/her

Answer

My sister and I are 18 months apart. Mom always says that it was so much easier to have me (younger) because my sister would sit with me, play with me, baby talk to me :) She says it was not that much more difficult with the two of us. And that was before the disposable diapers or automatic washers came to Russia! 
From my standpoint - at about 9-10 yo the age difference almost disappeared for me and my sister and I have the best friend who I shared my whole life with. It's amazing, really :)

Answer

I say go for it

Answer

I'm in the same boat. My Violet is three months. I had a rough and uncomfortable pregnancy but I want to do it again. My SO and I have decided we won't prevent pregnancy anymore than just breastfeeding.

Answer

I had a horrible experience with my first pregnancy as well, I didn't enjoy it one bit... I found out at 16 weeks then found out baby had complications and I started having complications I had anemia and was in and out of hospital ended up with a c-section and baby was in NICU and had surgery. I swore I would t get pregnant for another 5 years and ended up getting pregnant 9 months later even though we had been trying since my son had turned 6months but this pregnancy is 10x better I'm super healthy baby is healthy and I'm so excited to have my kids in age! 😊 I didn't get a sibling until I was 8 years so I was only girl and only child for 8 years. I'm happy I'm going to have my boys 18mo difference and it's exciting 😊😊😊😊😊😊 because later I know once they turn old and we decide to have another baby it might seem harder

Answer

My mom has 6 kids. The first 2 are 26 mo apart then she waited 4years had another then she waited 14mo had another- waited 14more mo & had me.
She said she would go back amd have all of her kids 12-14mo apart if she could.. she didnt like getting diapers out the house and having to do it all over again opposed to doing the last few back to back.. i love having siblings close in age

Answer

So I was the exact same way. I had my daughter and within a month or so I wanted to be pregnant again. I'm so glad that it did not happen for me without the aid of medicine (because it delayed pregnancy, not because It was so hard). I am currently 25 weeks, my daughter turned two in April and I am just not emotionally ready for baby boy to be here in September. I don't want to split my time. I don't want to take away from her to give to baby. I know this is supposed to be normal feelings, but it makes me feel awful. It will work out when he is here. And I don't love him any less than her. I just won't know how it is until I have them both.
