Strong baby urge

[Lavenderbells]

Ever since I've had dc (now 7months old) I keep constantly craving a second child. Despite my horrific birthing and pregnancy experience. It doesnt make sense to me! I feel like part of me is missing and there is a hole that needs to be filled for my family to be complete. I dont really understand where this strong urge has come from especially considering the fact that before dc came along, who wasnt planned, I would of never called myself maternal and I was adamant I didnt even want children!
Is this normal? Is it post baby blues? I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this and if they ended up getting pregnant so soon after giving birth. I sound like a crazy lady 😂

Hormones are powerful things! The human race depends on them

why is this in AIBU?

I get it. I wanted a second from the moment number one was born. We started trying (halfheartedly) at five months post partum and I was pregnant by nine months.

Baby number two is about to turn one. The age gap is working really well for us. It's hard work, but it'll pay off later when they are both into the same stuff etc.

I would like to be trying for a third, but my husband wants to stop at two.

I get it! I wanted another since ds was 5 months. If you had complications just check if you're ok to get preg again as I was asked to wait by the consultant.

Babies are lovely.

Small gaps can be great, can be exhausting, but if you are not sure about the practical things (double buggy, day care etc) then there's no hurry unless the good old biological clock is ticking away.
