I *think he's good at 2 but we'll see what he says after #2 is born! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-get-baby-fever-way-earlier-than-you-expected-after-lo-1#post-2118457 Mon, 23 Mar 2015 13:16:29 +0000 Smurfette 2118457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! He was in the one and done camp till recently. Now we are back to wanting 2, which is what we said pre-LO arriving. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-get-baby-fever-way-earlier-than-you-expected-after-lo-1#post-2118455 Mon, 23 Mar 2015 13:14:53 +0000 HLK208 2118455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nooo! He was happy being one and done for a few years</p> <p>...but now I'm the one talking him out of having a 4th child haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-get-baby-fever-way-earlier-than-you-expected-after-lo-1#post-2118451 Mon, 23 Mar 2015 13:11:53 +0000 travelgirl1 2118451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes he was totally ready to TTC #2 before I was. I think it's because his mum popped out 7 kids in 7 years so in his family it was the norm to get pregnant again very quickly. But I get very bad morning sickness so it takes me a bit of time to be prepared to put myself through that all over again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-get-baby-fever-way-earlier-than-you-expected-after-lo-1#post-2118406 Mon, 23 Mar 2015 12:47:51 +0000 travellingbee 2118406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: Same. He decided one was plenty. But he's come around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-get-baby-fever-way-earlier-than-you-expected-after-lo-1#post-2118397 Mon, 23 Mar 2015 12:45:44 +0000 sorrycharlie 2118397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha no, it did the opposite! He decided he only wanted one. He eventually changed his mind and we have our second, but he no longer wants 3 like we had originally agreed on.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-get-baby-fever-way-earlier-than-you-expected-after-lo-1#post-2118384 Mon, 23 Mar 2015 12:37:35 +0000 coopsmama 2118384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha oh no definitely not!! If anything having our first and second (even though he adored them!) made him rethink his ideal family size. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-get-baby-fever-way-earlier-than-you-expected-after-lo-1#post-2118379 Mon, 23 Mar 2015 12:35:27 +0000 Anagram 2118379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: YES. I never had baby fever at all (still don't have it, honestly, and I am pregnant), but as soon as LO #1 was like, 3 months, my husband was allllllllll about having another ASAP. I wanted 3 years between them. Our compromise is that we planned a 2 year gap, which is what we're having.</p> <p>On the same theme, before I was ever pregnant (and before I knew what a terrible preggo I am), I always said I wanted 3 kids and DH wanted only 2. Well now, I am feeling 98% 2 and Through, and DH is *already* talking about having a 3rd! He's going to get a punch to the face if he keeps talking about it while I am having this terrible MS. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-get-baby-fever-way-earlier-than-you-expected-after-lo-1#post-2118371 Mon, 23 Mar 2015 12:33:33 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2118371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were both ready sooner. After #1 and again after #2.<br /> DD2 is almost three months and we both agreed that we're ready for #3. We're going to wait a while for my body to get stronger but we'll TTC by year end. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-get-baby-fever-way-earlier-than-you-expected-after-lo-1#post-2118369 Mon, 23 Mar 2015 12:33:19 +0000 blackbird 2118369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>heh, no. He was as tired as I was ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-get-baby-fever-way-earlier-than-you-expected-after-lo-1#post-2118364 Mon, 23 Mar 2015 12:27:49 +0000 pui 2118364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband was in no hurry to have the first kid, but now she's only 7 months and he's already talking non stop about having the next one!! He even says he wants 5 kids now (which is what I originally wanted but we compromised on 3 <i>maybe</i> 4) and that he wishes we'd have twins (which I'd definitely prefer not to happen lol). </p> <p>While I want to officially start TTC in September, we're technically NTNP right now, so maybe his wish will come true. I doubt it though since I have PCOS and it took a year to conceive DD.</p> <p>Did your SO suddenly get way more keen on growing your family after having your first LO? </p>
