Maybe rushing a little bit but I think it's great that you've had such a great experience. I wish more people took parenting as serious and positive as you do. God bless.

Not unusual, but its probably your hormones of being overwhelmed that makes you feel like this. On one hand you see this beautiful being that you have created and that makes you want another one, as well as the fact that you miss being pregnant and miss all the (nice) things associated with a pregnancy (the baby movements as well as the attention from others). Now it is more revolved around the new arrival, so you partially miss what you had just a few weeks ago. I am getting broody again (my boy is 7 months old), but I know that for the benefit of all (and it makes sense), having a child is to enjoy a child and have quality time spent with him before another child is brought in the family. So I shall wait and enjoy and be grateful for the gift I have. To answer your question in short - it is all normal, but enjoy your baby first - if the other one arrives too close, you may not have the time, patience, or will miss out on the all important stages of development of your first born. Not to mention the fact that your body does need to recover first. On the other hand, there are people out there with twins etc and they manage because they have to. Up to you, do whatever you feel is right. Congratulations!

Hi, My son just turned 12 weeks old and I have been wanting to get pregnant again for the last 8 weeks. Ive read the replies and honestly I think having them so close together would be less expensive since u have all the baby stuff anyways yeah diapers will be the biggest cost with a second one so close but if you feel your upto it go ahead. My husband and I are trying now. Im a few days late and gonna take a test christmas eve and hope its positive. Good Luck

Little bit hasty. You need time for just you and your new baby. I have a friend who got pregnant within 5 weeks of giving birth. She doesn't love the second child any less, but feels like she never really had time devoted entirely to her first child. There is usually no hurry in having a second child, so take some time and enjoy the first.

Yes, you are being too hasty. Your body needs a chance to heal so that you can nourish your next baby properly during pregnancy.
I think it is normal to want another baby (I know I do!) but you need to wait. I think the best is to wait a minimum of 1 year after birth before getting pregnant again.
Take this time to enjoy the baby that you have - she is only 9 weeks old, you have so much fun stuff heading your way soon! (smiling, laughing, playing with you, really interacting with people...) Have fun together!

Although I didn't enjoy pregnancy all that much (morning sickness for the first 4 months), I am in the same boat as you are. My daughter is almost 4 months old and my fiance and I were just talking about how we both wanted another baby. We know it's crazy, but we are enjoying her so much. We decided that for our situation (financial and everything else) it would be best to wait another year. Besides, pregnancy is so hard on your body (and your family) It's best to give everything some time to rest.

I somewhat have a 19 month previous and am 10 weeks pregnant so as that they are going to be 2 years, 2 months aside. It became planned and that i do no longer think of that's too quickly. although, i did no longer account for the morning ailment and severe fatigue- that's taken a toll incredibly with the warmth. i hit upon maximum days I take a seat on the settee and that's a project just to make my daughter breakfast or lunch. Im hoping it passes quickly, I somewhat have enormously undesirable morning ailment. additionally, the hormones as quickly as returned are sending me mixed thoughts of one day being effective and the subsequent of 'what am I getting myself into?" yet I shop telling myself its in basic terms the hormones. yet I plan on coaching her issues mutually as Im pregnant, and of direction giving her interest after the baby is born. I have not any doubt that it would be no longer difficulty-free yet worth it.

As a male everyone gets broody at the sight of their first born and the relief I felt at my daughter's birth was unbelievable.
I think it is fantastic that you feel as you do but you have to be sensible. Imagine you follow through and your new baby is born one year after your first.
The work alone will drain you and the needs of both will wear you out as neither can take care of themselves.
Wait for at least one year and then your first can help you with your second.
Good luck and there is nothing or no one better than a mother.
You are fantastic but wait a little.
My best wishes to all you mums out there.

Silly answer-This will sound silly but you may be addicted to pregnancy hormones. OK well that is silly but you probably just miss your pregnancy time. I secretly wanted to be pregnant again after only 2 week of having my first born. But your hormones are ever changing.
Serious Answer - Truly I believe it has to do with rather or not you breast feed. There is instincts embedded with in our brain for survival and when you body is not caring for a child it feels that there is not one so the need to conceive another is normal.
