Wanting another baby already!

Hi guys, I’m wondering if I’m just a lunatic or if anyone else is already looking forward to trying for/ having another baby haha? For the last few weeks I’ve had increasing thoughts of wanting to get pregnant again, I’m researching baby names and finding myself thinking through the logistics of 2 young babes, imagining what life would look like, that I need to check on work’s maternity policy, etc. Is this normal? I know many people have had babies as close together as this, if not closer, but I had always assumed it was usually an unplanned pregnancy the second time around. Help! I need either talking out of this if I’m being unreasonable or I need for others to share their similar feeling if I’m not alone haha. I know ultimately everyone is ready for more children at totally different times, but curious to know if many others have wanted another this soon.

I don’t blame you lol as hard as it is and how exhausted I am… I also think a lot about another child lol since I had a c section I’ve been told not to get pregnant for 18 months I think… so that’s kind of stopping me. Otherwise my emotions would lead me to another pregnancy I believe 🙈🙈

I feel exactly the same. I did after my 1st too! Ive said im goin to enjoy her 1st year then try for 3rd x

Me last year. 😂 Here I am with a 20 month old and a 5 month old. It’s definitely tough, I didn’t realise I had it “easy” with my first until I had my second and was like woah ok two of them… 😅 That being said, I wouldn’t change a thing, we’ll get through it and they’ll appreciate it, they’ve adored each other since the second they met thank God. Postpartum hit me hard and I still had another lol, they’re really sweet together. I think the real question is am I mad for wanting more and more and more? 🥲

Thanks girls, glad to know I’m not alone! I’m going to try and hold off till he’s near enough a year then try again I think haha x

I have a 19 month old now and 5 month old, it definitely wasn’t planned and it’s been an adjustment, going from 0-1 was harder than 1-2. Newborn stage was fine for me as you do work 2nd baby’s routine around 1st baby. My hardest time was actually when my 19 month old caught a bug and had a fever for a week and then my 5 month old got it too! So much crying and not knowing who to tend to first! But that being said. I’m so glad I had them close in age, watching them acknowledge each other and smile at each other melts my heart. My 19 month old has adored his sister since the moment I brought her home and he’s referred to her as bubba since and is always trying to give her his toys and teach her to jump in her jumperoo, it’s really special but it has its challenges but totally worth it!
