I got my (surprise) BFP at 7 months pp. I am 3 weeks pp now and definitely do NOT have baby fever! And honestly I'm so tired right now, and don't necessarily see that changing, that it could be a LONG time before I get it again. And even if I do get it, we are done. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-after-baby-1-was-it-before-you-got-baby-fever/page/2#post-1039558 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 11:47:49 +0000 meredithNYC 1039558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It comes and goes for me, but I don't think I have ever had a full-on case of it. More like when I see a newborn I think - for a split second - how I wish I could have one? But then I'm over it really quickly. LO is 15 months old and the plan is to wait until she has turned 2 to start TTC. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-after-baby-1-was-it-before-you-got-baby-fever/page/2#post-1039508 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 11:31:36 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1039508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It came in waves. Right after birth I was just too tired and we agreed to wait until Tor was two ( once we agreed on a 2nd that is. Hubby had bad PPD and wasn't sure he wanted more until a couple months in). For myself it started abstractly at around 6 weeks but I wasn't feeling really ready until about two months ago. LO is 11.5 months old and I am BUrnung with the fever. A lot of friends have also just had babies or become pregnant which doesn't help. We plan to start trying in six months but I am trying to move it up. So far no dice! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-after-baby-1-was-it-before-you-got-baby-fever/page/2#post-1038551 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 01:27:18 +0000 FancyGem 1038551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Although I would feel blessed if we have another child, my 18 month old is enough for us right now. My husband and I are considering only having 1 right now. I think part of it is because I am still nursing (weaning is not going well), we still don't sleep well at night, and I don't feel as healthy as I did before getting pregnant. When things change, I wouldn't be surprised if I would get baby fever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-after-baby-1-was-it-before-you-got-baby-fever/page/2#post-1038544 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 01:17:11 +0000 Running Elley 1038544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd say when E was about 4 months old! I got my BFP (surprise- not planned) at 6 months pp and I can't WAIT to have 2!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-after-baby-1-was-it-before-you-got-baby-fever/page/2#post-1038540 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 01:11:59 +0000 lemondrop 1038540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The day we came home from the hospital, my husband and I were all about WHEN we could add a second baby and decided to try again in the fall (10 months). Then for me baby rabies took a looong break until he was just over a year. That is when I started getting giddy and silly around little babies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-after-baby-1-was-it-before-you-got-baby-fever#post-1038519 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 00:38:21 +0000 sandy 1038519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: same...LO is 21 months and no fever!</p> <p>We are planning to start trying this fall when LO turns 2 but I just don't have the fever...my husband does though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-after-baby-1-was-it-before-you-got-baby-fever#post-1038431 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 22:53:43 +0000 ZombieBullfrogHoller 1038431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 8 days old today.</p> <p>I think it started before we were even out of the hospital. They weren't even finished stitching me up after delivery and DH was going on about "having another." XD I never thought I'd see the day. LO wasn't planned and it's so surreal to look back on that day I took the pregnancy test and how distraught I was about the prospect of having a baby. And now I'm looking down at this perfect little boy and thinking, Jesus, how much extreme couponing and DIY homesteading would it take to be able to reach Duggar-level baby making? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-after-baby-1-was-it-before-you-got-baby-fever#post-1038430 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 22:53:32 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 1038430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had it before the 4 month sleep regression hit- it is now far, far away.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-after-baby-1-was-it-before-you-got-baby-fever#post-1038420 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 22:44:37 +0000 birdofafeather 1038420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>7 months and no fever here! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-after-baby-1-was-it-before-you-got-baby-fever#post-1038417 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 22:40:32 +0000 googly-eyes 1038417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: I think that'll be me! </p> <p>11 months so far and nothing! Fussy til 4 months, traveled out of town a lot between then and 7 months, 8-9 months had a sleep regression, and tantrums/meltdowns started by 10 months... I don't feel like I need another one!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-after-baby-1-was-it-before-you-got-baby-fever#post-1038319 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 22:01:45 +0000 MamaChin 1038319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At about 3-4 months PP, then sleep regression hit and it went away. Came back after sleep training at 5.5 months but was only flirting with the idea. Surprise pregnancy when N was 7.5 months, am 11 weeks in and still in shock. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-after-baby-1-was-it-before-you-got-baby-fever#post-1038256 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 21:38:06 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1038256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One year after our first baby and 16 months after our second baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-after-baby-1-was-it-before-you-got-baby-fever#post-1038251 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 21:36:21 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1038251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>18 months and I don't have it at all! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-after-baby-1-was-it-before-you-got-baby-fever#post-1038226 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 21:28:04 +0000 rawrasaur 1038226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It comes in waves, but right now at 8.5 months it is strong. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-after-baby-1-was-it-before-you-got-baby-fever#post-1038201 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 21:20:33 +0000 Mrs. Confetti 1038201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine comes and goes, mostly whenever I see a newborn.

Visited my husband's cousin and her newborn in the hospital tonight and I think it just added some more time on the baby fever clock. No thanks. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-after-baby-1-was-it-before-you-got-baby-fever#post-1038072 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 20:42:12 +0000 Koolbreeze 1038072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right after DS1 was born! Haha. I felt crazy but I couldn't help it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-after-baby-1-was-it-before-you-got-baby-fever#post-1038046 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 20:35:53 +0000 cascademom 1038046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It started when LO was 6 months old. Sleep coming back to our family was huge. There's part of me that's more nervous for the newborn phase than the pregnancy thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-after-baby-1-was-it-before-you-got-baby-fever#post-1038012 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 20:25:16 +0000 MamaMoose 1038012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: I'm holding out hope.

We didn't start trying until DD was 15ish months </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-after-baby-1-was-it-before-you-got-baby-fever#post-1037462 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 18:13:15 +0000 MsLipGloss 1037462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: Yeah, prolly so. I mean, it's not all her fault . . .she is just such a cute preggo! And really, that announcement was at the beginning of the chain of BFPs, and it made me realize just how small my window is, and chances are, it's just not in the cards. </p> <p>I'm sorry @Matador84. Hopefully you know it's just because I have an interwebs crush on you because we're date twins. :) </p>
