im obsessed with being pregnant?

[SAVINA]

I am a mother of 3 beautiful children and at times they do drive me crazy but!

i just love the whole pregnancy stage i love that feeling of something beutiful growing inside u and feeling bubs move!
i love looking up pregnancy websites birth stories and i love birthing movies!

im like addicted and obsessed with that feeling !

is this normal and will i out grow this or im i going to want to be pregnant all the time!

Can anybody relate to me here?

[draught]

Yep. I love being pregnant, love babies and want more. DH says two is enough. I say the issue is still open for discussion:D

[SAVINA]

yep! same here he says 3 is enough and same with everyone else and i say maybe one more!:rolleyes:

[MissSparkle]

I have an 11month old and I cant wait to be pregnant again! DP and I are getting married in April next year (2007) and are going on our honeymoon to Greece so we want to wait till after then to TTC #2! I cant wait! If all goes well I'll be pregnant again by September 07 HOPEFULLY!!!

[moonblossom]

I just LOVE being pregnant, giving birth, holding the babe for the first time and feeding him/her while still attached to me. Its all so wonderful so I SO know how yu feel. This time I'm feeling the same, love the whole process and the wonderful human beings they grow into.

[sugar n spice]

I so know i really want another child i have two amazing boys, thought the eldest can drive me crazy yet i want another though dh doesn't. Id love a girl but if i didn't then that would be ok. I am so desperate for another. Wish he'd change his mind. My difference is the delivery and end of pregnancy is a bit iffy and dangerous. I don't actually like how i feel being pregnant though i still love it and i love the movements.:p

[Mummabear]

Yep - I'm with you girls. I LOVE being preggers. LOVE giving birth. LOVE raising bubs. I can't wait to do it over and over and over, LOL.

When we first started talking kids DH said two was enough - now he's accepting of having 3 and I'm slowly working on 4 being okay!!! I keep saying to him "see how beautiful and adorable Oscar is - how could you not want a house full of little Oscar's" the sooky daddy approach seems to be working for now! LOL

[Mamaduke]

Okay, I'm coming in from the other side of pregnancy!
I couldn't stand it!!! I guess vomiting every day didn't help it's cause.
I love being a mum and holding my little boys when they were first born (oh, and now of course!) but I was counting down the days from the get-go! The back pain, morning sickness, swollen feet and hands, pains in the side...bluhhhhhh:mad:
I would have had another one by now, it's just that I have to 'talk myself into' being pregnant again!
Although, now that I look at my boys it was a small price to pay:p

[LilShenanigans]

I hated pregnancy too, but that was caused by everything around - Now I've forgotten a majority of my anger about it...

Now I remember those quiet nights lying in bed and feeling bub move around, looking at baby clothes and going "omg it's so small!!" :p and finally the belly when it did actually start to show... I enjoyed showing her off before she even came out!

I'd love to have 3 kids (planned), and hopefully would fall pregnant with a 4th but that would just be a surprise :p
Sadly, it may affect my dating days in the future as I refuse to be with anyone who doesn't want at least 2 more kiddies hehe oh well :rolleyes:

[proud_mama]

ok,

Well this may come as a shock, or it may seem really bad, but i have only just given birth to my first (my spunky little man) he is only 2 weeks old:p but already i can't wait to have another.

Does that seem wrong??? i love my little man so much that i can't wait to be preg again cause i just loved the whole thing!:D

[LilShenanigans]

lol not odd mum2be... although it took me 3 weeks to get over the birth, I felt the same from about 6 weeks...

The family though would kill me if I had another as a single parent!:p

[Pixie]

we haven't even had our first, shes still cooking :D and my DB started to ask/plan when we should get pregnant again with the 2nd one :eek: he is the one who wants another lol I am like, lets see how we go with the first lol but sure I am happy to go along with having another one straight away body willing and everything else makes us able too!!! :D

[JATS]

I loved being pregnant and after talking to DH who LOVES being a daddy more than anything else in his life, it looks like I may be one of those perpetually pregnant women everyone scoffs at :rolleyes:

We want lots of kids, as close as possible, and anyone with a negative comment can go jump! For once we're going to ignore them and do what makes US happy!:D

[moonblossom]

You go Tommy bub, no negativity here, I felt the same way as you, and I dont regret one day of being pregnant, raising these wonderful kids and enjoying this world with them. YOU GO GIRL :)

[JATS]

Thanks Moonblossom :D

My father in law's girlfriend (A primary school teacher) was watching me with my son a while ago, afterwards she told me;

"there's women in this world who are just natural mothers ment to raise loads of kids, I wanted to be one but I didn't have the patience, but you are definatly one of them!"

:o

[Melissa1983]

I like being pregnant too! But hate the morning sickness. I loved Labour :rolleyes: (mine you i have only 2 hours with both). I seem to be in the other boat to you ladies, DH wants one now! but i want to wait until next year.. Because the girls will be that little bit older, Mikayla will be nearly 5 and Abby will be nearly 4.

[SAVINA]

i can understand the morning sickness is sooo bad as i had it until i was 17 weeks pg with my last baby! but it does go away and i felt ok when it did!

actually my last pg was the worst i developed really bad sickness and after i had him i got severe piles which had to be operated on and thats only last year this happened and yet im willing to go through it all again.and my boobs nearly killed me with pain!!

but on a good side he was 9 lbs 3 and i only had a 4 hour labour .

my first son was 13and a half hour labour and my daughter was 3 and a half hours.
so my boys are bigger and longer labours and if i had another girl she wold probably be smaller and quicker labour well i can only hope!:)

[Michele Crocker]

Hi,

I love being pregnant to. I have five kids and I would be pregnant tomorrow if I didn't have to give my body a chance to get over having Ashleigh(2 months old).

Regarding pregnancies the more pregnancies I had the better I have been feeling with each of them. With Ashleigh, I had no morning sickness or heart burn. I am hoping to ttc again in Feb 07.

Mummy2be, I know the feeling, I was just out of the labour suite when I said that I probably have another one. I thought maybe as time goes the feeling I had of being pregnant again would soon fade but it hasn't.

Michele
Mother of Christopher, Luke, Melissa, Jayden and Ashleigh(2 months)

[sonlou73]

i always said i was only going to have 2 children, well..... i've seriously been thinking that 3 would be great and my DH agrees. my DS2 is 8 weeks and i've been having these thoughts since he was 2 weeks, i'm glad i'm not the only one out there! and i don't want to wait too long, my DS's are only 16 months apart - am I crazy, 3 under 3?!!

[ThomasMum]

I too love being pregnant, I remember how DH spoilt me rotten during my pregnancy :p , my DH is very clucky (again) at the moment too....so I better watch out...because...

At the moment, I'm thinking one is enough :D

But back to the topic, oh I'd love to get pregnant again and again! :D

TM

[mummycloud]

LOL, I was knew I'd miss being pregnant before I gave birth :rolleyes:
I LOVE pregnancy, childbirth, babies, toddlers and everything to do with it :)
I watch maternity ward all the time. I've seen every episode and have most of them on video. DH think's I'm crazy! I'm planning on becoming a doula I love childbirth so much.
I could do without the morning sickness ( I considered aborting briefly this time it got so bad), but I know that once I hit the 14 week mark it's all happy days. If I was allowed, I'd be popp'n them out till I'm 50 ;)

[maybe1more]

Apart from the morning sickness, which thankfull goes away, and the heartburn, i cant wait to do it all again, nothing beats the feeling of knowing a beautiful baby is growing inside, feeling baby kick for the first time is just bliss!! No to mention having ultrasounds and seeing bubba on the screen. Then holding your cherub for the first time..... heaven:D

[mumaoftwins]

When I was pregnant I said that this body will never ever see another pregnancy because I was sick 24hrs a day until I was 23 wks which caused me to take early maternity leave as the sickness all started at 6 wks preggers.

It was only up until the last 8wks (babes came at 32wks) that I started to really love being pregnant & feeling them move around all the time & I had so much energy again, prior to the 23wks every time they moved I would be sick and I hated the peeing every half hour.

Once I saw them I couldn't believe that something so gorgeous was in me. Call me crazy but I could go through it again...the 46hr labour then having to be induced because Twin 1 (Claire) decided that she didn't want to come out anymore & I stopped dilating, once born I started to Hemorrhage and required a blood transfusion & to top it off the twins needed to be in Special care because they were 8wks early.

The only thing stopping us is that we would like twins or more again....yes I know we are greedy!

[uptheduff]

I have to say, i'm the same lol. I love being pregnant. And as soon as i have a baby, i am longing for the next one!! I got pregnant with ds2 when ds1 was 3 months old, and i am 7 weeks pregnant with no. 3...and ds2 is nearly 7 months!!

I'm pretty sure i won't want to stop at 3 either, i always wanted a big family! Especially if this one is another boy, i will definalty have to try for a girl :D

My pregnancies aren't the best either. Well, they're ok compared to some, but i get severe SPD, and especially towards the end, i find it hard to walk, and i can't roll over in bed without being in heaps of pain!

[Tan-mumof3]

Hi Everyone,

I too like most of you absolutely love being pregnant, knowing that you created life and all the wonderful things they bring! i loved giving birth and holding my newborn children. I have 2 and my DH said that he didn't want anymore but he is slowly coming around we have decided to have another one next year YAY for me!:)

[SAVINA]

Yay! to your third !
im slowly convincing my other half i always through in around mates that when we have another baby well go private or when we have the next well have to get a bigger car and ill say what kind i like in 4wd drive 8 seater cars . {im being sneaky about it}
to be honest if we had more money a bigger house and hell more money for a house with 4 beds i think he wouldnt mind ! at all but for now we have a sml 3 beds house and we are renting! so it really isnt appropriate at the moment!

but we never did plAn any of our kids so to plan another bay would be fun and strange !
but if i could plan i would like to be due around may-august would be ok!

[babycrazy]

I have this scarey feeling that in some of us the biological urge to reproduce ie "Tick tock tick tock" may override all common sense! I know I am soooooo clucky and I've just had twins which were number 5 & 6. :p :eek:

[MrsMiggins]

I always desperately wanted to become a mum! And then when I was finally ready, it took us a very long time to finally fall PG. That whole time I was so envious of every PG woman I saw!

I absolutely adored every single second of being pregnant (I had my moments of pain & discomfort, of course! But I still loved it & never once complained!)

And now I have my gorgeous bub, I am just loving every second of being her mummy! I have had to sit my DH down & talk about what sort of timing we are considering for #2. He was always saying that we'd have 1 bub, 2 at the absolute most (he already has a daughter also). I am thinking now I'd like 3.... possibly 4....?! I'd love more than that, but I really don't think I could convince DH! Also, I had some complications with my first PG that could mean that I'm not able to have copious amounts of future pregnancies. And the two of us are also not getting any younger! (DH is nearly 9 yrs older than me).

I would love to get PG again straight away, but we agreed it's probably best to wait & let my body recover & get ourselves sorted out with bub #1 first. My Dr has told me it would not be a good idea to get PG again probably within the first year - 2 would be better. DH & I decided we'd wait til DD is about 10 or 11 months old before we start trying again. I was so excited! I thought he was going to veto it until DD is at least 2!!! We just don't want to wait 2 years, then be trying again for 2 or 3 years before getting PG again.

(PS: I still now feel a little pang of envy when I see a PG woman! I keep thinking, "what am I going to be like when I can't have any more kids & I see PG woman??! " I'm not looking forward to that day!)

[2SPUNKRATZ]

i am 21 and 31 weeks pregnant with my first baby. i am already thinking about when i want to have my second. (preferably to be born when this one is almost 2.) thats all my partner wants. 2 kids. i want 4!!! and if we could afford it, i would just keep going after that lol... i hope and pray that when we get pregnant with our second that it ends up being twins. i would loooooove to have twins. plus then we would have to have a fourth to keep it even.
i do enjoy being pregnant but i am looking forward to the heartburn being over with.

your not crazy. you just have a lot of love to give!!!!!

love jessica:D

[Briannabear]

I also loved being pregnant!! I adored having the big belly and all the kicks and movements!!
My hubby and I are trying for baby no 2 and I cant wait!! (which poses a problem in itself because Im impatient TTC!!) :D

[MrsMiggins]

lol! I hear you Becca! I wish we could start trying again now. It's taking everything I've got to wait it out! If it takes as long as it did for #1 (26 months) then I will be a wreck! The possibility of it taking even longer doesn't even bear thinking about!:(

[M~T~J~M]

Yes!! For sure. I absolutley love being pregnant too!!! I would have a dozen kids so I could be pregnant! I am currently pregnant with number 3, and DH said the other day that this is the last (for a while anyway). Gee, did I get into him!! I am almost 26 and still have lots of baby making days left in me, so I will definately not be stopping at three!
I just love everything about it. The big tummy, the ultrasounds, listening to their little heart beat, especially feeling them move (and their little hiccups!!)
It's easy to put aside the feeling tired, sick, etc.

Sarah :p

[IAdoreYou]

SAVINA - Excellent :D good luck.
I loved being pregnant as well .. actually I loved it right up until the last 6-8 weeks. I hated swollen ankles and peeingggggg :o
I loved HOSPITAL .. the Mater are great and I can't wait to do that all again and have a newborn all over.
Brooke was my 1st so it was quite hard getting adjusted to the whole baby thing .. now I'm starting to get clucky and cocky that # 2 will be a breeze.

I'm hoping to be preggers after xmas. I also LOVED wearing matrenity clothes.

just wanted to say good luck!

[mich80]

Allthough i have 2 kiddies 11 months apart i still want more children(partner disagrees though).I also love the feeling of something growing inside you,the kicks and punches its a strange feeling but i would love to go through all that again.

[specialgift]

:hugs: hey if you like being pregant have you very thought of being a surrogate mum i am looking for a TS [traditional surrogate] if you like too i can't but would like a baby
