I Want One!

[*Chels*]

Im getting soooooooooo clucky but its a battle between heart and head
My son is only 1 so I wanna enjoy him a bit longer,plus Im getting married in 6 months.
DF says we can have another bub whenever Im ready.Like I do want another but Im not quite ready to give myself up.Im still BFing and JUST starting to get my life back-ie cutting down feeds,going back to work,socialising etc.Plus I wanna buy a house before we have another child.
BUT Im soooo clucky!!!!!!!!!Im willingly to wait a year to start TTC but IM CLUCKY!!Damn you cute babies out there LOL
Anyone in the same boat?

[SassyMummy]

I'm not REALLY in the same boat... but I am clucky as hell.

In all honesty, I KNOW I'm not in the right position to have another baby right now...but does that stop me from hoping I'm pregnant each month? Hell no!

I want another baby... but all rational thoughts of mine point to "not right now." DD is 15 months old, and I don't think I could handle HER and a newborn. She's a BIT more independent, obviously, but she's still a lot of work (actually, I think she's MORE work than she was a newborn... she slept a lot then, and if I put her in one place, she'd STAY there...lol). I also don't want to have to share my time with her with someone else... I want her to get 99% of my attention...not 50% to her, 50% to the newborn (not just yet anyway). I don't want to miss out on her important stuff while I'm dealing with a newborn/pregnancy... she's still my little baby.

Apart from that, I'm also not in the financial position to really raise another bub... among other things.

Luckily for me, the decision is not in my hands. DP is the one who's not interested just yet... and I'm KINDA glad he's not. If he was, I might actually get pregnant and follow my heart rather than my head... and in MY situation, I think it's better that I follow my head... because I don't want to regret it later on.

I don't have any advice (sorry) just wanted to empathise.

I'd love a new bub but I can't do it - not with the PND and Liams sleep battles. DP is pressuring me to start TTC #2 but I feel like pregnancy and DS would send me bonkers.

since being preg with ds i always said i only wanted 2 kids and said i never want to go thru labor again but maybe its cos ds is such a good bub i feel like i could have just 1 more (ds is only 7 weeks old too lol). However i was lucky to get my hubby to agree to 2 kids so i dont think theres much chance there lol

Oh. Cluck cluck cluck.

I held a 2 day old last night.

I stared at Chris and said... "Can we have another one now?"

I'm the one who wanted to wait 4 or 5 years.

Move over Chels - I'm steering the boat with you

I'm in exactly the same position. My son is almost 1, and we had planned from his birth that we would be trying again at the end of november. Hubby is still keen, but I'm thinking I'd like to wait a few months longer. Then I think, well in the overall scheme of things, why wait a few months when I could get this show on the road .

Like yourself, I feel like I need to spend just a bit longer with my son & I too am still BF him, which I thought we'd be done with by now! I always wanted my children to be close together in age, but I keep remembering how tired I was in those first 12 weeks and I don't want to deny my DS of any attention until he's a bit more independent from me. We too have just started cutting back on feeds & trying to get this weaning process underway, and I have just returned to work one a day a week, which I thought I'd hate, but actually didn't mind it.

Oh the dilemmas we have! To top that all off - my SIL is due to have a baby in early January, so yep, I know it, if I havn't fallen pregnant by then, there will be lots of clucky business, so no doubt it won't be long after that!

A-Huh, A-huh! my GF had her baby girl on Satuday & we went down to see them...Oh how beautiful she is!...So slight & girlie...just a stunner!..

Was the 1st time since DS was born that I've REALLY thought Ohhh yeah I could do that again....
