8 week old baby and already broody for number 2!

MumToEva · Mar 20th, 2012, 06:33 AM

My gorgeous girl is only 8 weeks old and despite being exhausted from the sleepless nights, I'm already thinking about number 2! Have been since she was born if I'm honest! I put it down to hormones initially and thought the broodiness would soon shift, but no! Anyone else feel the same?

Haven't told my husband yet!

I am exactly the same, my little on is almost 3months. My OH is completly up for it too which is the scary thing! Just trying to tell myself that its not a good plan but we'll see!

I get this way already. My husband knows and is all for it, but then when I have that bad night were LO won't sleep and is crying so loud that thought of broodiness quickly goes away for a little bit

My LO is 8 weeks nearly and I WAS broody for #2 until... my OH son came down, I feel like Im cracking up sometimes as my LO has got bad colic it's come on worse and he's just crying at nothing (so i think) and OH's 2 n half year old... well everyone says he's a typical 2 yr old but he's so disobedient, clingy, tantrumy and wants everything it's breaking me (he's been here for 3 weeks and I've been looking after the 2 while OH's in work) I feel gulity for saying it as I love my stepson but I cant wait for him to go back on thursday, going from 0 kids to 2 in a matter of weeks was hard (yes I did know OH had a child before though) and my OH doesnt help I cant completely blame the kids but he is too soft and contradicts me if I try to put boundaries in place or discipline.

I cant help think it may be a little easier with my own children as there is definetly a different bond with your own.

I miss being pregnant

Well, DH really wants more, and I'm now feeling SO SO SO broody for number two. We're planning on TTC in a couple of months, if we last that long!

it is a normal hormornal reaction, but after my son was born it never went away, Im fairly broody now after the twins but I am firmly reminding myself that I cant do more (at least not right now lol)!

I wasnt broody at first, i just wanted to enjoy the baby id just had, but by month 2 me and OH were discussing when we'd like to start trying for Number 2, we agreed when LO was 6 months, but over the past month its gotten so much stronger for both of us that im booked to have the implant removed in 2 weeks time, and were going to start trying as soon as i get home afterwards

I hated being pregnant, it wasnt a very pleasant experience for me, but it was totally worth it for my beautiful daughter, and im totally willing to do it again.

i was really broody after my baby was born, he's 8 months old now and i sometimes sit there and think that if we had tried then i'd be 5 or 6 months pregnant now and that thought terrifies me! now my baby is a bit older i love spoiling him and watching his personality develop and couldn't imagine doing all that whilst being heavily pregnant. i am still jealous though everytime somebody new says they're expecting
