after reading and agreeing with the rudeness of was it planned question

how many of you are asked WHEN YOU HAVE JUST HAD A BABY AND IN TH EARLY WEEKS

if you are going to have any more

having another baby is not on my mind right now!

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

yes i had it loads after dd was born, really peed me off cause like you it was the last thing on my mind, i was only just getting over the birth of my first, like i would be thinking of having another!!

this was 5 years ago and i have had the question asked every week since well it feels like it!

Just say you are already pregnant again, seems to shut them up in my experience

Didn't mind that at all, couldn't wait to get pg again.

It was so awful when people said to "you'll have another one" after DD passed away.

sh77 I can't believe people could be so crass . I'm so sorry for your loss.

oh well if oyu have lost one then you can laways have another?? thats so insensitive

sh77 sorry you encountered such an insensitive idiot...very sorry for your loss :(

people always want to look to the future though eh... when you get engaged it's all when are you getting married, will you have a family. As soon as you have a baby then people want to know if you'll have more. Do find that bluntly saying "well it took us a long time to conceive and we had a mc before dd" shuts them up sharpish....
