Sudden urge to want another baby....Is this normal?

[NeyNey]

I've noticed lately a lot of friends and family commenting on how Dylan has grown. He was only a wee little thing when he was born so it is quite noticable that he has put on weight, filled out and gained some length. But I'm finding the more ppl comment on his growth, the more and more I start thinking of another baby.... I am often finding myself making comments about giving Dylan a little brother or sister. We have two frozen embryo's still left over to use with IVF and I find myself on the internet researching how soon you can go back for another baby...

I must be out fo my mind!!! I am so tired, and exhausted from this little cherub, gosh what on earth am I even doing thinking of another!!

Tell me this is normal behaviour!!

I was 100% sure I didn't want more children as I had a terrible time with number 2, which resulted in him passing away 8 hours after delivery at 37 weeks ( complete placental abruption ) and Kayleigh was high risk etc... I didn't think I wanted to go through the stress again, but since having her I want another one. If I could I would already be pregnant... lol

I'm not sure if it's normal or not, but I want more!

It didn't happen for me but I've read a lot of posts on here about it so it does seem fairly common

My little one is only 9 days old and I'm so sad that she's growing that I want to have another baby. That thought is so crazy though, as I'm still in shock that I had this first baby lol

Never happened to me, but I read people saying this all the time.

No wayyyy!!! lol Dont get me wrong, I want one more, but Haley HAS to be out of diapers and off the bottle before I'll even consider it! lol Plus I'm just really enjoying my time with her alone. I love having mommy Haley time and if there was a new baby in the picture i wouldn't get quite as much one on one time with her

id say its normal. x

Yeah I've had this conversation with quite a few people and it seems completely normal. For me, I think I get a bit sad sometimes that she's growing so quickly (as amazing as it is) rather than wanting another one but I do get really broody when I see newborns!

 

[bathbabe]

i get serious bump envy. And im jelous of the fact they get to give birth! Mad... X

 

[Tacey]

Totally normal! You get massive hormone surges after the birth, and I've heard that they happen at other points too. I got really broody when Alice was 3 weeks old, then it eased off and came back at 5 months, then 9 months, and I'm having another phase of it now!

 

[Blondie2008]

nope! people keep telling me that i will want another but a year and a bit later and i still cant even begin to think about another baby. Funny how we are all different

 

[MrsT&Ben]

All depends on which day of the week you catch me!! To begin with I had no intention of having a baby. But now Ben is a bit older and i've got used to being a mummy I keep thinking wouldnt it be nice to have another one?? I think i may have gone mad

 

[Vici]

I felt it straight away after Imi was born and everyone told me it would go away but here I am, a year later feelign exactly the same! If not even more so when she reached 1!!

 

[bump_wanted]

i dont get bump envy but ive wanted another baby since ollie was about 10 days LOL i think its totally normal but it really hit me when the April 2011 people started posting due dates because im an april 2010 mummy xx

[lucy_x]

About two months ago I found out two friends were pregnant the same day... after the second one told me, I burst into tears on the phone with her. I felt like a moron but was so sad I couldn't have any more unless I get a reversal done which costs a decent amount of $$$ which I couldn't afford.

Normal!! : )

In fact after having my first child & still in hospital I got very broody : )

not enough to actually start "trying" but it felt like quite an overwhelming urge - must have been all the hormones .....

 

[Lilly123]

hi honey.. i also wanted another right after having zoe... I still do.. but I will wait.. we also have frozen embies so we will wait another year i think.. its normal.. but i also have to stop and think.. could i really handle two babies now?? and my answer is no.... but in the future... yes...

I also found myself missing being pregnant immensly.. that fades with time but when I see a bump I get quite envious.. and i do miss it still... i miss feeling zoe move inside me and just the overall experience

I also think cause we had IVF and it took us so long and I feel that maybe i will never be pregnant again.. makes me want it even more.... big hugs to u

 

[vixy]

definatly normal!!!! i didnt feel that way when LO was 3 weeks but i do now, im absolutly desprete to get pregnant and have another one. We agreed to start trying again in sept next year but im really trying to convince OH it would be a good idea to do it sooner!!! Fingers crossed!!!
