Anyone else feels like having baby again..but cannot (for any reason)..

Venus · #1 July 27th, 2011, 12:49 AM

I want to have another baby to hold.. after DS I knew I will have baby again..and I kept some of his baby clothes & toys ..now after DD I know that we do not have plans for third one so I am giving small baby clothes away..but while I do that somewhere inside me I really do want to have one more baby..the only things I do not want to go through again is morning sickness...break in career..another c-section..changes in body/teeth/hair while breastfeeding...and more stretch marks...everything else is pretty much tolerable..such as dirty diapers & sleepless nights...I can't practically but I really do want to have baby again...three kids will be so much fun...anyone else feels this way??

We can't right now because as much as I would love a teeny baby again, it would kill us financially. I have to pay out of pocket for the birth (home birth) and I don't have the money for it. We are so strapped financially that it would be very selfish to bring in another baby. I'm not getting rid of anything though because we do plan on having another or two.

Right now, or the next few years actually just isn't the best time.

I really want another baby too but for a lot of the reasons you mentioned, we can not either. DH is really not sold on the idea either, he thinks two is perfect. I just hope somewhere in my future, I get to experience being pregnant again. But I have also come to grips with it may never happen. if that makes sense.

I agree with you for most of the reasons you mentioned. I had ALL DAY morning sickness with all three of mine for 5 months plus, and with each kid I had one major different problem that made the pregnancy hard. My insides being squished those three times may make it impossible for them to ever go back to normal. Financially we can't afford the three we have But it is KILLING me to think about getting rid of the baby things. Baby Fever without a possiblilty of another is no fun.

I want another one but DH doesn't. I am hoping he will eventually be convinced or that we just have an oops baby.

Same here. I get the fever more and more everyday. Probably bc Heidi is nearing the BIG 1. Also bc DS asks for a brother like everyday. Our waiting factors are $, a vehicle that can fit 6 ppl, and the fact that a c/s body needs atleast 2 to 3 yrs to heal after the previous birth. So, as I've probably mentioned on JM a bajillion times, we're waiting until Heidi and the following baby would be 4 yrs apart. January 2014 is TTC date. DH is on board, as of now but I could see him getting cold feet. For one he doesn't like me having to have c/s's and our last two were failed VBACs. I'm really not comfortable trying another VBAC and it would be 1000 times harder finding a doc to let us "try" anyways. We'd have to have thousands saved up for a homebirth with midwife and that's not likely either. So, I'm probably going to tell DH before we actually TTC that I don't even want to if we both can't agree from the very beginning that it will have to be a c/s, no ifs, ands, or buts. I'm not stressing about the birth experience yet again. It made my previous pgs unbearable bc even though I had three healthy babies during my pg's, the pending birth experiences were so looming and anxiety causing that I was a ball of nerves.

Wow, I just typed a lot.. sorry LOL

We've been TTC and did conceive but as most of you know, I just had a m/c that ended officially at 11w5d... Heartbreaking and awful... I am looking for answers for 5 losses, and hopefully we'll have one soon. I have my RE appt at the University of Washington on Aug 23rd. I can't wait for answers. We cannot wait to conceive and go to term...

I hope you get some answers soon. I had 3 m/c and wouldn't wish that pain and frustration on anyone.

i would like another baby but wouldn't go through another pregnancy, with penny i was often dehydrated from being sick, not being able to keep any food / liquid down so yeah it was hard but my m/c has made me want one even more and fiance wants one to but i don't think i could go through it again x

austlanabmv · #11 July 27th, 2011, 06:16 PM

i have 4 children ... 3 from my 1st marriage and one with my husband now.. he has no other children and i know he wanted 2 children ... but just a week before wyatts birth i got cold feet to the idea having another child since 3 of the 4 are c-sections and i had back surgery it is alot on my body and the gestational diabetes too... so my husband and i deciede i would have my tubes tied...... economy wise and financially wise it was a good decision but seeing him with wyatt i wish i was able to give him another child... he mentions it every once in a while...it breaks my heart ..... i think the fact that wyatt is an extremely good baby adds to the wish we could have one more.

If there was every a person praying to God that some little egg would slip past the clamps it is me..... in the next few years would be nice .. not when i am 50 though.... hahahaha

BUT

Some days I feel like I would like another baby, but it's just not practical for us. DH is adamant that we're done, and we have so many plans to travel and have successful careers, so it just isn't a good idea if we want to accomplish all of our goals. Besides, I know that i don't have the patience to add another baby to our family. I'm pretty strapped for time, patience, and sanity with the two i have
