I want to have another baby?

Question

I just had a baby girl 3 1/2 months ago. I feel like my life has just change so drastically but my maternal side is wanting to have another baby. I just miss the whole experience of being pregnant and delivering a baby. It doesn't mean that I am actually going to have a baby now but I always get this little urge to do it all over again. This feeling seems to be stronger as time goes on. Has any other mothers felt like this so soon after having a baby?

Answer 1

Wow i thought i was alone on this one but i defiantly feel the same way. As soon as my baby was a month i wanted another one. I think it was because the delivery went so well and also because how close i felt to her the second she was born and i love watching every little new thing she can do. I can't wait to do it all over again! She is five months and i always wonder if it would be better to have them close together or far apart! Either way they are the best thing that can ever happen to someone! Congrats on the new baby!!

Answer 2

Completley normal! It feels like you lost a huge part of yourself, plus the excitement of pregnancy is fading away. Just keep telling yourself to enjoy your baby and when the time is right you will be preggo again!  

Answer 3

i know how you feel.  my youngest is starting school this year.  we have 2 women at church that are expecting in oct, and feb. and i find myself feeling jealous because it isnt me.  be thankful that you have that option.  all my life i wanted to have a big family, and 2 years ago, i had to have a hysterectomy.  there are times that i feel like crying because i wish that i could feel another pregnancy again.  i so miss having a tiny baby to snuggle, so no matter how much you want another baby, be thankful that you can still have the experience of another pregnancy.  i wish you all the luck in the future and i hope that you get a new baby sometime soon.  God bless you and dont get so caught up that you miss your baby girls wonderful firsts.

Answer 4

Ohhhh my goodness, i've got the baby blues as we speak!! i went and saw my friend's little baby and wanted to cry! I miss it so much, and i loved being pregnant so i would do it all over again right now if my husband would let me, lol, my guy just turned 6 months.

Answer 5

i really do feel like you my son is 5 months...i miss the kicks and moves and ultrasounds and i want the experiences of start to finish again..but then my son starts to scream lol...not for awhile if ever..but i am still young, 19

Answer 6

Sometimes I miss being pregnant (even though I hated it) because I was the center of attention, and now my baby is.  I'm not jealous, but sometimes I wouldn't mind being pampered again.  And I miss feeling him kick and that "secret" feeling you have bonding with your baby that special way.  

Answer 7

Oh yes, when my daughter was about 2 months old I got the strongest urge to have another baby.  It never really went away, as I found out I was pregnant again when she was 6 months old.  After my son was born I wanted another one right away! I remember crying to my boyfriend when our son was only a week old about how much I wanted another one right away.  Now my son is 6 months old and the urge has went away.  I have a 21 month old and a 6 month old and sometimes I start missing when they were newborns and think about another one but then my daughter takes her diaper off and pees on the floor, throws something at her brother or does something else she isnt supposed to and the urge disappears REAL quick lol.  We do plan on having atleast one more (my boyfriend wants 3 more, I told him to go find another woman! Lol)  and we have finally decided that maybe the end of next year we will start TTC.

Its normal though.  Like I said I still get in those moods where I miss them being SO little.  I actually just went through one when my son turned 6 months old.  I couldnt believe he was half a year old already...it hit me kinda hard but I got over it pretty quick.  I love having these 2 so close together (15 months apart) its nice for a lot of reasons but I dont think I could handle 3 right now.
