Does looking at other peoples babies make you want one/another?

[mamadadawahwah]

All i see is babies. I see them in the shops and on the street and its like a puppy, I want another one. Please refresh me with all your horrors of pregnancy/birth. I need to hear it.

Looking at mine (13mos) growing up so much makes me want another but dp says he'd rather cut off his penis with a rusty knife...

Used to make me, then i got pregnant and totally went off them!!

Fortunately i'm back on them again and expecting number 2 in a few weeks!

can't help I'm afraid. I have the same problem.

My mum says it stays like that until you reach menopause

I was in labour 36 HOURS, yes 36 HOURS!!!!!!!!!

Now then, no more babies!!

itll never work

hearing horror stories i mean. i think you have selctive hearing when it comes to babies

It makes me want to rush home and cuddle mine but doesn't make me want another - yet.

not in the slightest

how about: I had a transverse op delivery with high forceps and I split from fanny to arse

Yeah Enid, but sure you lost weight!!

He came out sideways playing a saxaphone!! He was 4 stone in weight!! Having babies makes you go blind!!

(I look at babies too )

I think I could be tempted to have a third - thankfully dh is against the idea so he is a good contraceptive for me.

Nah, other peoples babies aren't as nice as mine.

I can imagine that other people get that when they look at my baby though.

LOL flum!!!!

28 hours of labour followed by emergency ceasarean. Paper knickers, ceasarean support stockings (mmm mmm!), K cup bra with no underwiring, jelly tummy. Mastitis with the flu symptoms 3 times in 7 weeks with constantly leaking boobs, guilt feelings for giving up breastfeeding, sleepless nights for the first 8 weeks with DD2, but for the first 7 months with DD1! Trying to change 8 month old baby's nappy whilst she is constantly trying to turn over - need I go on?!!

Flum you are so naughty

Nobody's baby is EVER going to be as nice as yours. I look at other peoples babies and smugly look at mine and KNOW he is the cutest, the brightest and most well behaved. My uterus rules the world and I have spawned the king of all babies.

I absolutely adore ds and (obviously) think he's the smartest loveliest baby in the world.

But from the second I had him, I've wanted another

And looking at others (the cute ones, not the ugly ones ) makes it worse...

i don't even have to look at babies to want another one

Only slightly, and then I remember that I already have 3 and that 2.5 years after the youngest I'm only just getting 'me' back.

I do! I want another - not natural really only gave birth two weeks ago.

hippi - if dp had said let's make another an HOUR after having ds i'd have agreed! stitches, epidural and general mess aside of course

I loathe pregnancy, every single moment of it. Small babies drive me to sleepless infanticidal rage. I am stretched to the limit emotionally, physically, financially with the two I've got, and I won't even start on the ravages that two pregnancies have wreaked on my body. My first labour was a total bloody 36 hour nightmare and my second was seven solid hours of vile backache.

Nope, doesn't work. Brooooooooooooooooood....
