to want to be pregnant...but not have a baby? 😅

[is30tooyoungformidlifecrisis]

I'm so at odds with myself and think I can't be the only one to ever feel this way??

I have a 9mo baby, I love her so much, and for the last month or so all I can think about is being pregnant again. But then, the thought of having a 1 year old and a new baby feels way too much! One minute I think, 'yes let's get pregnant again now' and then the next I'm thinking 'of course not!! Wait till she's older!!'

I got lucky and had a really easy pregnancy, no symptoms, and birth wasn't what I planned but I feel fine about how it went. I really want that feeling again of knowing I'm growing and looking after a little one, feeling them kick. And selfishly, my whole life and everyone around me's life is all about my lovely baby...I kind of want to feel special again the way I did when I was pregnant!

Would love another one, would love to be pregnant...but the thought of actually having another baby to look after STRESSES ME OUT! Anyone else??

I'm the other way around. Would love another baby but don't want to be pregnant or give birth.

I’m five weeks post partum and I think you’re insane. 😆

I love my baby, but I hated being pregnant. And I had a pretty easy event less pregnancy. We want two, but the very idea of doing all that again makes is really depressing to me. I genuinely don’t understand what there is to like about it. Are you just far enough away that you’ve forgotten the details?

Currently 9 weeks pregnant here with no 3 and also thinking you are completely insane 😭

You could offer to be a surrogate so many people are dying to be parents but can't carry a baby x

Same. I got pregnant just after my first turned 1. I now have two, and I'm desperate to be pregnant again, but I don't think we could handle 3. I'm half grieving that I'll never do it again, half praying for a windfall to have another!

Pregnancy is different when you have a child to look after, it's so much harder!!!
People don't make as much fuss of you when it's not your first.

It could be hormones! Both myself and a friend, babies exact age, met up and found ourselves both wanting another baby 9 months pp. A couple of months later and we had both decided to wait 😂

I know what you mean OP. People treat you so nicely when you're pregnant and I always felt ok with my body then- I never do normally! It was like it's ok to get a few chubby bits, eat the burger if you want it etc... I've got 2 girls and I know I'm done really. But I wouldn't mind people thinking I was amazing and looking after me a bit and having permission to eat that cheeseburger

You’re a mad woman 😂😂

I had to psych myself up to try for number 2 as I was so nervous about being pregnant again. Hated it! Currently 28 weeks and already starting to feel the effects of the third trimester. Have to keep reminding myself I only have 3 more months then I get my body back forever and never have to do it again!

I have memories of sitting in boring business meetings just listening to the movements inside - I found after I'd given birth I was still sad to have lost that little being inside me. I've forgotten quite how bad the nausea was.

I'm nearly ten weeks with a 9 month old. It's killing me this time, I am so so drained and feel like absolute shit all the time !

Omg noooo, I’m 36 weeks pregnant with my second and can’t wait to never do this again! I wish I could just order a baby on deliveroo

I was pregnant with my second by the time DD was seven months old. It got all the nappies, teething, sleepless nights etc out of the way in one fell swoop, which was good, if a bit full on.
But then DH died just before the second baby’s first birthday, and it was hellish having to work to earn a living while raising two toddlers on my own.

Nope your crazy, although I get what you mean about people being nice to you all the time.

Nearly at the end of pregnancy and very ready for baby to come (might change my mind when he’s here as he’s our first 😆). Aches, acid reflux, random worries and uncomfortableness…. No thank you!!

Definitely will be a psych up to do this again!
