I was up at 2am puking every night from 3DPO. With full blown symptoms from 9DPO. Might as well not have bothered with a HPT as I knew
Thank you for your reply. I am also heartened to see your tickers. we are also starting over. If we get pregnant this cycle our children will be (within DAYS!) EXACTLY six years apart. I am nervous for this, and I feel like I have forgotten how to be a mom to a baby. Nevertheless, I have wanted this for a number of years and I WILL give our son a sibling!
How do you feel about the age gap? Congrats by the way!!
Congratulations to you too!
Initially way back in the day, we were planning on a 4/5 year gap, then after my first pregnancy/birth I was NEVER having another one. Then reality of having a very only child set in, im an only and my OH is estranged from his family, so our daughter would have no siblings/cousins/aunts/uncles. Which seemed a bit too much to put on her. So here we are again.
On one hand I dont mind the gap, my mum and uncle have a 6 year gap and although they fought as children they get on enough as adults. I dont think there is a right gap in terms of siblings getting along.
As for us, I have a bit of what the hell am I doing starting all over again. I think if I'd done this just as my Lo had gone into reception it might have been easier. Now im very much used to having my own life and doing as I please mon-fri. She very interdependent for her age and although in a way she can be quite demanding, shes been very easy to parent in terms of how many days shes driven me to the brink.
There is a part of me though thats really ready to go back to the baby/toddler groups and play. Im really looking forward to having another baby about and feel because my daughter is at school I'll get a lot of one to one time with the baby during the week. Not sure im ready to do the terrible twos again lol. It helps my daughter is over the moon and ready to mother this poor baby to an inch of its life, just hope its got the personality type to appreciate that.
Seems to be a few of us about with what are considered to be big gaps of 5+ years.
