To want another baby?

[hmmmwhatnow]

When DD3 is the grand old age of 5 days old and we haven't actually even left the hospital yet?

I just keep getting pangs of not getting to be pregnant again, not getting to do labour again, not bf again.

It's hormones yes? I'm not really that illogical surely?!!

You, are.fucking.cray, cray.

But I am envious, love that new baby smell.
Congratulations

Congratulations!

Never felt like that....

Must be a hormone thang goin on

I have cracked nipples, bruised episiotomy and can't yet think about wee without instantly doing one. I'm clearly bloody barking.

But my goodness she's squishy I think I want 15 of them!

I need help seriously someone must have experienced this....

Congratulations! And it's normal, all the hormones and stuff. That desperate need for another one lasted a couple of months for me. Quite annoying looking back because I think it took away from the first months with my dd. I would have a gazillion if I could.

I feel the same - so in a years time we will TTC again! Yes!

galore!!

Nope, DD2 is 8 days old and whilst I love her to much, this stage is such hard work I'm telling myself 'no
More'. Congratulations though!

I have a 4 month old and I'm already broody but 5 days???

After I had my son I was being wheeled back to the ward, after a fairly horrific labour (forceps,episiotomy, haemorrhage) cheerfully telling the midwife that I was glad I hadn't had a section because we wanted to try for number two soon 17 months on I am 38 weeks today xx

Oh yes! I know exactly how you are feeling! The second they put my PFB in my arms after delivery I was ready to do it all again. Don't worry, it will pass. Probably at 2 am when you're walking the floor wondering if you'll ever sleep again.

I had 2 boys, the first at 33 weeks, the second at 37. We tried twice more but lost them both early on. The doctor told us it was time to quit while we were ahead and we sadly gave up the dream but the yearning continued. Then I hit 40, both boys were in school, and I realized I never wanted to change another nappy, nor potty train another toddler.

Now they're grown and I'm ready for babies (grandchildren, that is) again. I'd love to change a nappy and soothe a baby to sleep, as long as I can give the baby back when I'm done!

I totally felt the same when my dd was only a week old.

I'm pretty sure I was the same after dd1, can't understand it as had a horrendous birth with her, I should have been scared for life vowing to never have another, got pregnant when she was 6 months (I was trying to be sensible!) and now ttc baby 3. I am clearly as mad as you are

Congratulations.

I felt the same way as you for the entire first year of dc2's life, I ached for a third baby, I felt sad that everyday was my last with a baby of that age (in days). Then he learnt to walk, I have been running after him ever since, I am a shadow of my former self! I no longer want another baby. I would love to hold my children again as tiny babies, they were wonderful days but I am looking forward to having more time to myself as they get older, and as they do get older there are plenty of magical moments, they are just different.

Enjoy your baby.

I have a sixteen week old. She's my last. I felt exactly as you did, desperately broody. Its only stopped about two weeks ago. It must be hormones or something to do with her being my last.

Good luck!

I knew I wanted another one when they handed me ds1.

When I had ds2 I turned to dh & said no more. Changed my mind whenhe was 4m old.

Pregnant again

Congratulations!

Yabu.

A teeny bit U yes!
I felt the same after DC2 though, for 4 years I knew I wasn't done. DC3 is now a toddler, however that's it, no more! 2 days after we found out I was pg again DH went to the doctor and made an appointment for a vasectomy and we never looked back!

Dc3 is 4mo old. She's gorgeous and vvv squishy. But have I once thought 'I want to do this again'? Noooooo. You are properly bonkers, sorry :)

Yup.

Dd was 9 weeks old (and teeny). Friend had a baby.

Couldn't believe the broodiness!

Glad some people have had this too. Better get my contraception sorted fast before I start thinking its an actual good idea!

I felt the same very soon after having DS2.

He's 9 months old now and it's still not passed.

I had to really talk DH into having DC3...so I knew he would be the last. So no I have never felt like this. But I do understand......newborn babies...delicious. I am a nanny so get my fix often.

I didn't feel like that straight after having a baby, but I desperately want another baby now (have done for over a year) we have 3 and our youngest is 5. DH has actually come around to the idea though and we've agreed to start TTC early next year (need a loan paying off first and get a bigger car)

Oh my goodness. After having ds, having another baby was the furthest thing on my mind. Still couldn't face it, even though ds is nearly 5 years old. It never ceases to amaze me how different we all are. Two babies close together would have literally killed me. Literally -believe me.
