But the majority of my pregnancy was super easy and I had a very easy recovery from my csection so at the end of the day i haven't changed my mind about having more kids but sometimes I look at LO and she is so perfect to me and I feel like my life is full with just her...but I would love for her to have a sibling </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-first-pregnancy-change-your-mind#post-198704 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 00:29:01 +0000 loveisstrange 198704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. Before I got pregnant with LO, I wasn't even sure I wanted kids. Now she's 11 weeks old and I've got baby fever, despite my rough pregnancy and traumatic birth experience. lol</p> <p>I must be insane. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-first-pregnancy-change-your-mind#post-198700 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 00:21:22 +0000 autumnlove 198700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am just dreading my next C-section. I felt everything during my first C-section and I am afraid anesthesia will fail again. Fingers crossed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-first-pregnancy-change-your-mind#post-198695 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 00:01:13 +0000 HLK208 198695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a somewhat easy first pregnancy (despite getting sick every day for 30 weeks) but I didn't have any low pain, pressure, problems sleeping and labor was easy.<br /> Second pregnancy, I felt like I had mono the entire time! I was sick for just as long, had horrible sciatic pain, high blood pressure and I was always in a bad mood. Labor was really hard with being induced also.</p> <p>So...would I have a third? Maybe. I love my kiddos, all the pregnancy problems weren't so bad once I met my LO's. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-first-pregnancy-change-your-mind#post-198664 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 22:53:13 +0000 BeachMama 198664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was fairly miserable throughout pregnancy with nausea and heartburn, so I definitely thought I'd never want to go through it again. Now with a fussy, colicky 4 week old I often feel like I can't imagine why anyone would do this again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-first-pregnancy-change-your-mind#post-198651 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 22:44:22 +0000 bpcmarj 198651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a really easy pregnancy, and an awesome labor and delivery. Honestly, I think I would do it again tomorrow (but don't think I could handle kids being 10 months apart!! haha). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-first-pregnancy-change-your-mind#post-198446 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 21:03:17 +0000 lovehoneybee 198446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're not planning on having a second, in part because of how much I dislike pregnancy. I mean, I'm thrilled to be pregnant and having a baby, but I'm not a fan of being pregnant. It hasn't even been that rough of a pregnancy, but geez....I never hit any "golden trimester": I haven't had any appetite and have been sick pretty consistently since mid-December, and am constantly exhausted. Not to mention the rib-bruising, swelling and overall aches. And I still have 7 weeks left plus L&amp;D!</p> <p>Definitely not the only reason we've decided on only one, but it a factor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-first-pregnancy-change-your-mind#post-198349 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 20:37:03 +0000 mrs. wagon 198349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OH. EM. GEE. Yes definitely. I never expected pregnancy to be so tough. Honestly both pregnancies have been ok overall but I have not enjoyed either of them at all. The only reason I'm pregnant right now is because we didn't want Wagon Jr. to be an only child, or tooo much older than his younger sibling. If we ever do decide to have a 3rd, we'll have to be REALLY rich so I can have a masseuse, esthetician, cook, housekeeper, and personal assistant. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-first-pregnancy-change-your-mind#post-198339 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 20:33:10 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 198339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are already not planning on having another one and I'm pretty relieved! It hasn't been fun so far. (I'm 10 weeks.) Hopefully the good feeling kicks in soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-first-pregnancy-change-your-mind#post-198305 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 20:25:31 +0000 GrapeCrush 198305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a pretty easy pregnancy, no MS, no issues no nothing besides some back pain and becoming more and more uncomfortable because of constant pelvic pressure, but I would(and plan to) do it again. And knowing that the probability of me needing a c-section for future children is extremely high, I'm still all about having more </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-first-pregnancy-change-your-mind#post-198269 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 20:17:16 +0000 Weagle 198269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>During pregnancy I tried to convince DH several times that we should adopt the rest of our children. Then I had LO and I realized that I would do it 1000 more times. I'm actually looking forward to being pregnant again because it means another child and so much more love. Though, I still hope we add to our family through adoption as well :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-first-pregnancy-change-your-mind#post-198261 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 20:13:59 +0000 matador84 198261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i haven't even had the baby yet, and i'm not sure how i can go through this again...not at least anytime soon! i am so lazy, i can't imagine how it would be if i were working right now! i think we're going to have to space out future kids...which freaks me out, because i'm not gettin' any younger! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-first-pregnancy-change-your-mind#post-198228 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 20:05:07 +0000 BananaPancakes 198228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pregnancy hasn't deterred me from wanting more, but my c-section sure has. Not sure if I can do that again. That plus postpartum depression makes me think it'll be a much harder decision in a few years. Pregnancy was a breeze until the last 4 weeks, and if I hadnt swelled up so bad, it wouldn't have been too bad at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-first-pregnancy-change-your-mind#post-198204 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 20:00:15 +0000 singingbee 198204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm looking forward to a second pregnancy, hopefully, because our first ended with out the baby. I remember thinking that delivery wasn't as scary as I thought it would be. I was induced and I wasn't prepared for it. I know it will be different when I have a full-term baby, but I remember thinking that I could do it. I am actually hoping that I have morning sickness or something different this next pregnancy because I will worry if it's just the same. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-first-pregnancy-change-your-mind#post-198189 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 19:55:32 +0000 Mrs. Bee 198189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my second pregnancy was so much easier because i gained so much less weight. the first trimester morning sickness was the same, but you feel so good in the second trimester you kinda forget about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-first-pregnancy-change-your-mind#post-198102 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 19:33:53 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 198102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Going through labor and delivery made me realize that it is not as scary or as bad as I thought it would be....I would totally do it again! It was the pregnancy itself that I hated. I had a hard time with giving up my body for so long. I think I will only do it one more time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-first-pregnancy-change-your-mind#post-198099 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 19:33:16 +0000 Rubies 198099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, no. Even through the pain of my contractions I remembered thinking, "It's okay, it's okay, I can do this again." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-first-pregnancy-change-your-mind#post-198097 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 19:32:49 +0000 MamaMoose 198097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have had a tough time being pregnant. The pain and the worry has been a lot harder than I ever expected. I was actually telling a friend today that if I were super rich I would consider a surrogate for any future children!! However, as difficult as it has been barring a major complication that will make it unsafe for me to get pregnant again I will have at least one more. I don't want my baby to be an only child. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-first-pregnancy-change-your-mind#post-198095 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 19:32:31 +0000 chopsuey 198095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and were talking about #2 literally minutes after I gave birth. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-first-pregnancy-change-your-mind#post-198083 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 19:29:47 +0000 mrsjyw 198083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I remember telling DH during the few weeks of nausea that I wasn't sure if I could handle going through any more pregnancies.</p> <p>Now that I'm feeling great, that thought has subsided, but the fear of L&amp;D makes me think that the thought might cross my mind again... I doubt it'll be a lingering feeling though. </p>
