So my baby is 10 days old. I'm so amazed by her. I sit and watch her for Hours on end. She's just amazing.
But surely it's not normal to already be wanting another..?
At first I joked about trying this year.. But now I'm totally wanting it.
And I know for a fact dp would too,despite at first him saying he could never see me go thro what I did ( long story which I won't go into as trying to forget)
My only concern would be the birth again or getting someone to listen to what I actually want.

How soon is too soon to try for the next one.. Not in a family dynamics way but as in for the body?
We've never used a contraceptive due to fertility issues. And haven't thought about a contraceptive yet for when I'm healed even if for the short term?

Echo what’s others have said: 18 months between pregnancies. Be kind to your body.

We waited and ended up taking longer than i anticipated 13 Months to be exact. Now we are going to have two babies born in the same month all being well and 3 year gap, i think its a bit much personally.
I also think its natural to want it all again and to want a sibling

Don't rush. Enjoy this one for a while before you make another Smile

Enjoy your newborn and let them have your time and love xx

The 18m between advice is for a reason - it’s not just that you feel knackered, it’s because it does increase risks to mother and baby.

You’re brave :) I’m pregnant at the moment and ferverently hoping this baby is OK and I never ever ever have to do this again (spd, HG, general exhaustion.)

I think it's fairly common to feel that way. Natures way of continuing the species and all that! But 10 days is quite early to be making that decision and hormones will still be raging. What stands out to me from your post is your OH saying he couldn't stand to see you go through the birth and you seeming quite traumatised by the birth? It might be a good idea to wait for those feelings to settle (and get on some contraception till you are sure!!!) Before making any decisions?
