Does anyone have an urge to have another baby even tho they already have a young baby/ toddler? Babies can be hard work etc so why the need to have more when the 1st isnt even out of nappies yet ? LOL

I dunno why i want another baby even tho my 1st is 14 months.

think it is a mixture of things!maybe because the time seeems to go so quick that maybe you want another baby to relive those beautiful early memories! there is 21 months between my children as i felt similar to you and they have grown up with each other-never remembering life without the other etc which is lovely...but i cant lie, it is hard work!

Don't think I'll be offering any advice to 'not go for it' lol........I have 4 children aged 7, 6, 3 & 1 and am 14 wks pg with our 5th! Yes, it is extremely hard work some days and both my girls are starting to exhibit that 'pre-teen' run-up to puberty! Fortunately, a close friend of mine has 3 older girls so I knew that 'pre-teen' stage prior to puberty was a possibility!!

On the plus side of course, are the good bits - the kisses by the dozen, the multitude of cuddles and I Love You's and those days where the older 3 try and play a game of ball so that the youngest can join in too! For that, I wouldn't change em for the world!!!

hi. i have 5 children. 8, 7, 4, 2 and my youngest is 1 next tuesday june 3rd. had all my kids close together. my eldest was 18 months when i had my 2nd. it can be hard work but it is so rewarding and i see being a mum as the best job in the world.
i felt settles with 5 children but i am now getting the urge to have no 6!!!!! but i will have to restrain my self i think and wait and see.
there are so many benefits to having your kids close i look at all my 4 older ones in the garden and they are all playing with each other and i feel so happy. xxxx

Unfortunately im going to have to surpress my urges. Partner is admanant he wants no more, and i cant blame him. Our relationship isnt going well at the moment and financially we cant afford. Im surprised at myself cos i didnt enjoy pregnancy and birth and vowed never to go thru it again! lol and now i be willing to have another baby. I want my child to have a sibling near his age as that way they will be close i think. When i find out people i know are pregnant for the 2nd time, i cant help but feel jealous. Stupid i know. I cant get my partner to accidently get me pregnant on purpose, because he recons i did that with our first chid, ( which i did'nt) so he wont be taking any chances again!

i want more and my lo only 6mnths old...i been broody for the last 3months! but i am surpressing it for now, dont want to try for about a year and a half yet as i want to focus on harry and enjoying every minute of his little life as the early days are going so quick and i dont want to miss a thing...!

i feel exactly the same and my lo is 7 months! i am so broody its unbelievable, ive been like it for a good few months now, it won't go away lol x

There is 16 months between my two boys and I would not change it for the world.
It is hard work but rewarding. If you feel you could cope go for it. x

i know what you mean im currently bf my lo at the moment and still not had the return of my cycle yet. (she is just over 6 months) i am wanting to start ttc baby no.2. as i want them close together to grow up together. i would never have though id be hoping for af to pay me a visit!! :lol::D

im wanting another one too! my lo Blake is almost 13months, but my partner isnt so keen lol. he said he would love another one, but doesnt get on too well with my parents and feel another baby would worsen the relationship with them - they feel he has 'ruined' my life - i feel the complete opposite! the only thing holding me back is the money side, we only have the 1 wage coming in cos i stay at home with the lo, and im concerned about the affordability of having 2...plus our dog is due a litter of pups june 10th, so better get that out the way first

my daughter is 3 almost and we have only just started trying for baby no.2 as hubby now feels ready for no.2! i have wanted another since daughter was about 3 months too but we are both in agreement that we only want 1 more at least until we win the lottery or someone buys us a bigger house with no morgage!! anyway once its in your head that you want anther it will never go away,trust me i have lived with the thought of wanting anothwer for nearly 3 years,lol lets just hope i fall pregnant soon!

Hiya
I have a 15month old and am 7mths pregnant now. I am currently at home and have never worked so hard or been so happy. It's financially tough, and I'm physically exhausted but nothing on earth compares to this. Time is going by so fast, you know what it right for you, follow your instincts.
Good luck
Ell xx

my lo is 11 months and we are just starting to try for another i know it will be hard work but i want them to be close in age. xx

My dd is 3.5 and i've always thought i'd be having another child and i thought my hubby was the same, initially he wanted 3. For the last few months i've been heartbroken by his decision that he doesn't want another child. He claims were are not financially able to, that and although he didn't admit to it, the sheer hard work of it all. He hasn't much patience and unfortunately he dosen't think having another child is what he wants. I'm devasted. My dd is 3.5 and i never wanted a big age gap between siblings. I can't put it into words how much this tears me apart. I've not said anything to hubby for around two months, i've not pushed the subject and i'm desperately trying to stop how i feel and hopefully one day it wont hurt as much. For now though, i'm left wondering if i have married the right man and how on earth do i live with him for the rest of my life, resenting him for denying me another child?

All I can say is you are all braver women than me! I've suffered 4 mc's, had a horrendous pregnancy carrying my 6 month old, including a threatened mc. my labour lasted 56hrs, was incredibly painful as she was lying back to back and then she stopped breathing the night I bought her home and I nearly lost her! I am an older Mummy and am aching and tired and I know for sure that I do not want to do this again!! Lol
