crazy

edited February 2013 in Pregnant
I have an almost 14 month old and an almost 2 month and i already know i want a third. My husband said he is 85% sure he doesn't want anymore :/ I really think if he said ok I would want to trying in a few weeks. This second pregnancy was definitely harder than my first towards the end and i felt like i was pregnant for 2 years straight since we had them back to back but i love my babies and i love the fact that they are close and i want my third to be close too if we had one more. does anyone have 3 that have 12 months between each of them? I know we won't have one super close bc i had a csection this time so i want to heal for a while. idk i just feel crazy for wanting another soon lol

  • How did you get pregnant with your 2 month old? Were you both ttc? The reason i ask is because i think that the thought of actually ttc might dawn on him more rather than if y'all were to say, lets just get off BC and whatever happens happens you know?
    I don't think you're crazy. Im 26wks right now and i already know i would like at least 2 more children. My husband says he would like to wait until this baby starts Pre-K so that i won't stress with two kids. At first i agreed with him because of my previous loss. I didn't know if this pregnancy would make it, so i agreed but now i would like to have my kids a little closer in age (and i must say, this pregnancy has been pretty stressful).
    I hope he changes his mind :)
  • is it hard that there so close? was it harder being prego and already having a baby? I want my son to have a brother already he's 15 months nothing yet it does get stress sometimes and I wonder have two close well b
  • Not 12 mnths...but my oldest and 2nd are about 18mnths and im pregnant with my third and my second and third will be about 18 months too...i love my babies close and lovr being pregnant...i think we are done after this one though, which totally breaks my heart lol
  • We don't use birth control, we're not actively ttc, but like @perly said we just trust God's timing & whatever happens happens. I have 2 older ones that are 12 months apart & 3 younger ones that are each 12 months apart. If I hadn't had a miscarriage the last 2 would've been 15 months apart. All my other ones are 2 to 3 years apart. (I have 9 kids total, 3 miscarriages) Obviously I don't think you're crazy at all! Lol Many others disagree with me though & I've learned to deal with it. I think it's part of our womanhood to love babies & want more. Like an instinct almost! Lol And I also think most men don't get it. Lol It's hard on your body, but in a normal way (imo) there's not anything abnormal about being fertile & having children. Of course having the c section is different...I don't have any help for that since I've never had one.
  • Thank you ladies :) its definitely not as hard as i was imagining it would be with two this close and i think that's why i want a third already. At my post partem check up my dr said i should wait 18 months to recover from my csection but i dont think that will happen... @wilsomom how was it having that many so close? I was scared to have my first and then it was a piece of cake then i was scared to have to and it is way easier that i thought so i guess you just adjust. i really think it depends on your personality bc my sister has three and sometimes i think she's going to lose it lol honestly if my babies weren't born on 12/23 and xmas eve i would want to start trying again soon but i don't want three with xmas bdays. I did tell my husband i for sure want a third and he really thinks we will have an oops anyway so idk what that means but it sounds like hes not 100% against a third eventually :)
  • I'm 23 weeks pregnant with my second and my son is 16 months I'm terrified to have two kids so young! I don't know yet if i want anymore. I'm going to have two boys and i really want a girl but.my husband and i are trying to get him legalized citizen and i would want him to have his papers before we even thought about more kids. This pregnancy was a result of gods fate.but i think o will use preventatives after havong this baby im so scared im gunna get pregnant real quick and he would be deported and o would be here with three kids all by myself im a sahm so he is my everything.

    I loved it myself! I think it depends on your personality like you said. It was hard in some ways, like having 3 in diapers & if everyone was crying at once! Lol But very fun too. The main thing that bothers me today is if it gets too noisy in the house, I can't handle lots of noise for some reason. Lol It's nice to know your husband is on board too! :) Oh & we have 3 December birthdays lol
