Baby Fever! Already want another baby…

[beaniesunrise]

My little one is 17 months old and I had a traumatic first natural birth (instrumental), but I already have the feeling of wanting baby #2! Which is crazy since I doubt I can handle another pregnancy, and think if I was to get pregnant I would opt for an elective c section. My husband doesn’t want another baby any time soon, I think he’s still scared since what we went through with DS. I wasn’t able to breastfeed my son so I feel like I’ll be able to if we have another baby? Part of me also wants to just enjoy life with my DS for now and go on holidays (whenever that happens)

Is it weird that I already want another baby?!

I wanted another baby when my first was 6 months old 😂 Definitely not weird! Currently pregnant with my second and my first will be 21 months when this one is born.
It's whenever you feel it's right. Everything works out no matter what the age gap is! Personally I wanted a smaller age gap so they grew up closer together sharing the same toys etc and you get out of the nappy/milk stage quicker, but there's also pros to waiting!
My partner wasn't sure at first about a close age gap but then he saw the benefits and got just as excited as me ☺️

I got pregnant when my first was 8 months, just felt like it was the right time, I wanted another baby and a close age gap so went for it. There is no right time just what works for you and your family

@beaniesunrise sounds like your wanting to get pregnant to experience what you didn't with your first like a nice birth and breast feeding.

Breast feeding might not work the second time either for multiple reasons, and recovering from a c-section with a toddler will be difficult if your DH has to work.

If your ready for the right reasons then speak to your DH

I wanted another when my first was 4 months old...
Now pregnant and she is 10months.
Nothing is weird, you just have to choose what is best for your family and what you all want!

There's 16 months between my two so no I don't think you're crazy
