Time for another?


No i'm not preggers yet!! Just wondering when you January mummies are planning the next one? Always thought i'd have them really close together but really LOVE spending time Isaac and had bit of a horrible birth experience sooo leaving more of a gap than I thought we would. At the moment we are thinking of ttc Summer next year, can't get my head around doing it any earlier! Sooo loved being pregnant but also love not being pregnant too! Being able to have a few drinks and wearing nice clothes again, hurrah! :lol: Oooh and want to enjoy this Christmas after last year being almost ready to pop! So we are thinking 2 1/2- 3 year gap would be good. Love to know how big a gap you are planning or if you want another at all!

Be nice to get some chat going again on the Jan forum! :\)

    Yeah be nice to get more chat on here! image

    I am not planning on another just yet image Olivia is only a week from being 8 months and she takes up all my time can not imagine having another one quite so soon!

    We have said she is around 2-3 that will be a nice age between them! I do not want two in nappies as well!

    I did love being pregnant expect at the end as my feet swelled up so much I could hardly walk.

    I did have a good labour and it was quick so I am hoping the next one will be like my last image

    Hmmm two nappies to change, def don't fancy that, hard enough changing Isaac's nappy, trying to stop him crawling off! :roll:

    I had such a fab pregnancy, apart from the tiredness at the start and the long wait at the end - lo was two weeks late. I was induced and had a very long and difficult time, so def need to get my head round doing that again! :\(image

    When is Olivia 8 months xGemx? Isaac is 8 months next monday, born on 21st January. Can't believe he's almost 8 months already! image

    Olivia will be 8 months Saturday she was born the 19th Jan and I can not believe how quick it has gone!

    My sis and my mate both had babies in July and Aug and I was like "I can not believe Olivia was this size a few months ago"

    She is a little girl now but I am loving watching her grow and learn things!

    Bless you on having to wait two extra weeks, Olivia was one day early! I got to the hospital at 9pm she was born at 9:30pm I stayed at home until right at the end image

    Nice to get some chat going again! We're thinking of ttc again late next year - I'm really enjoying watching Al develop, it;s such a fab stage isn't it but also exhausting! I'm also back at work two days a week and enjoying that too. Bellah, I was 2 weeks late too and had to be induced - those last two weeks were a killer! Al will be 8 months on Sep 23rd x

    hi all hope u r all doing well and ur lil ones well ellies 8 months and about weeks old now she was born on the 9th jan she is just fantastic and love her to bits as for having another one there could be a chance that i am pregnant now i have got to do a test 2moz coz im about 2 weeks late so we will just have to wait and see what happenes. not looking forward to the pregnancy part as my pregnancy with ellie was really bad nearly lost her at 22 weeks as i went into premature labour and had an emergancy cervical stitch put in which i will have tol have this time round too if i am at about 12 weeks gone. but i had a really good labour and loved it and had her at 39 weeks but all worth it in the end and would do it all again in a heart beat. xx

    Hi rachel,

    Was wondering where you had gone! Hope you are both good. Yeah, I had mc before too so couldn't relax for ages in last pregnancy. Will try for a super chilled out one next time but knowing me i'm not so sure!!!! Good to see you back...it's sooo quiet on this forum, come back! :lol:

    We had alexander about 6 mths before planned due to pill failure so nature sometimes does its own thing. We have a daughter 2 /2 now so theres 21 mths in it and i know someone with only 14mths between theirs. I t would have been nice to have her out of nappies but the smaller gap doesn mean they get on really well and she still likes the baby toys etc. I also didn't have to worry about the school run with a new born as she wont do school for abit and they pretty much eat the same foods etc so there are so plus points for close together. I am also getting abit of my evenings back and can go out without losing them again in the future. We were lucky with 2 difficult births so i wouldn't be without them even though they put me through hell sometimes, Coil now fitted to ensure no more suprises for me. xxx
