6m PP & Want another BABY!!!

MixedBananas · 06/02/2025 18:05

As the title says. I am 6 months PP and want a 3rd child already. It has been on my mind since 3 Months PP. I guess as DS2 is a dream baby so chill, naps and sleeps wonderfully and is pretty content and goes with the flow. But not even just rationally but even hormonally I want another child already.

I 100% understand my body ia still healing I had a natural L&D and no tears or issues PP. And I am EBF so might not be possible until baby is 100% weaned, this was the case with TTC DS2 didn't happen until DS1 was weaned fully. But the drive is intense. I never experienced this after my first the idea was a no no until DS1 turned 18months then I was ready. This time has been so quick and my toddler is well behaved and managing both has been fine.

I had 15 months between my first two. I loved that age gap! Went on to have two more so it was obviously fine!

Thank you. My DM had me and my sibling with a 15months age gap and she said it was so easy eith that age gap. The only difference is that we lived near famiky so there was always a bit if help here and there. Ne and DH live far away from friends and family so it is 100% me when DH is at work 10 hours a day.
I think that is what I am hesitant about plus when its time to go in labour going alone while DH watches the 2.

We only wanted 2. I’ve just had our 2nd 14 weeks ago, struggled for the first 4-6 weeks and have been desperate for another since 😂 we think we are going to go for it at the end of this year. Also EBF though so need to think about when I wean and my cycle etc!

I feel the same. I knew I wanted another around the 3 month mark. DS just turned 7 months. We've been trying for few months but it hasn't happened, no surprise as DS is an ivf baby . Were about to embark to another cycle in the next few months. Only you can know when your body is ready as its different for everyone

Thank you.
All the best with trying naturally. It might happen before you start IVF.

The drive is insane!

I'm 11month pp and had my coil removed last month to ttc baby no6 😱

I had mine close together my last is a big age gap and it took 2+ years to conceive her so don't want a big gap i love the small gaps x

I’m 7 months postpartum and 16 weeks pregnant. Their due dates are only 4 days apart (though DD came 4 weeks early so they may end up being 12-13 months apart in the end). In my case it’s been fine. DD was an IVF baby so my doctor said to try again naturally asap and hope for the best and now I’m naturally pregnant with her sister.
