We're pretty much one and done though, which I know she feels badly about (for my son, not herself), but she's too polite to say anything to me directly, unlike my MIL! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-mom-is-pestering-me-about-having-another-baby#post-289111 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 07:01:52 +0000 meredithNYC 289111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom has so many other grandchildren that I don't think she's that bothered about me getting pregnant again any time soon. Plus, I have been pretty firm about my plans to not get pregnant until LO is at least 2 years old. However, I do know that I would get a ton of grief if I decided to be a "one and done," which is what my brother and sister-in-law have done. My mom acts like it's the worst thing they could do to deprive my nephew of a sibling (her words, not mine!), yet he is a great kid - smart, respectful, really sweet- and doesn't really seem to be affected at all by being an only. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-mom-is-pestering-me-about-having-another-baby#post-289088 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 06:22:04 +0000 heffalump 289088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow! I got lucky..... my sil is having a baby so my mom is getting her baby fix :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-mom-is-pestering-me-about-having-another-baby#post-289087 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 05:59:32 +0000 mediagirl 289087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. We made sure early on that our parents knew we were one and done. It's a lot easier that way. She knows I wish we could have more but also knows it's not feasible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-mom-is-pestering-me-about-having-another-baby#post-289082 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 05:42:14 +0000 tequiero21 289082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>o man. the pressure! did she have kids close together? it's your mom so just tell her back off! what sucks is if it's the MIL - she used to bug me about kids. and now she wants me to have more - just had my twins and i'm honestly considering closing the factory. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-mom-is-pestering-me-about-having-another-baby#post-289049 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 02:25:15 +0000 erinpye 289049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tell her that research shows that infants born to women who conceive less than six months after giving birth have a 40% increased risk for premature birth, and a 61% increased risk of low birth weight, compared with infants born to mothers who wait 18 months to two years between pregnancies. That might keep her off your back for at least a few more months! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-mom-is-pestering-me-about-having-another-baby#post-288571 Sun, 09 Sep 2012 16:06:27 +0000 Mrs. Pen 288571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>oh my gosh that is crazy!!! so early..</p> <p>my momma doesn't, I am a younger mom though. But she is respectful of the fact that it's MY decision. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-mom-is-pestering-me-about-having-another-baby#post-288551 Sun, 09 Sep 2012 15:49:12 +0000 JennyD 288551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. And she has been bugging us for A grandchild since we moved in together (ie, months after my husband finished college and I still had 2+ years to go!). Five years later, here we are. We took our sweet time and I'm not sad for one second. We were quite vocal about only having 1 when I was pregnant, which she made noise about, but hasn't really mentioned since (I was quite firm with her about that topic, and our relationship isn't exactly rock-steady, so she laid off). BUT, my sister JUST had a baby (unplanned) and my mom is on her to have another one already. AND she's after my SiL to have a baby "so all the grandkids can be the same age". It drives me BONKERS! She's so unrealistic about where we are in our lives and what we want and what's best for our futures and our marriages and relationships and kids and finances. She just wants more grandbabies. This makes me INSANE! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-mom-is-pestering-me-about-having-another-baby#post-288544 Sun, 09 Sep 2012 15:29:17 +0000 SugarplumsMom 288544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My Mom's been pestering me about having another baby and DD isn't even 3 months old yet! It started off as just harmless comments and now she's really serious! I'm getting older, I get it but geez LO's barely passed the newborn stage! It's getting annoying!</p> <p>Anyone else's Mom nagging about more grandchildren? </p>
