We started ttc a few months later, and our daughter is almost four months. The baby fever for number 2 has already and it's so so much worse this time. I feel like a crazy person given how young she is but waiting until she's two like my husband wants before even starting to try sounds like absolute torture. Really hoping he will come around to the idea of starting around her first birthday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-get-baby-fever/page/2#post-1915522 Sat, 25 Oct 2014 10:29:05 +0000 stiletto_mom 1915522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>First Wave (felt more like obsession): My early twenties.</p> <p>Second Wave (now.

LO is 27.5 months old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-get-baby-fever/page/2#post-1873454 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 17:54:41 +0000 78h2o 1873454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@IRunForFun @travelgirl1: me too, I feel like I've had baby fever my whole life. It doesn't surprise me one bit that my LO is obsessed with caring for her baby dolls...I was the same way. Always remember really, really wanting to be a mom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-get-baby-fever/page/2#post-1873432 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 17:15:31 +0000 anandam 1873432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wouldn't call it baby fever exactly, but I felt my biological clock turn on when I was 26 or 27 and was doula for a 17 or 18 year old who asked me if I had any kids. I'd been in that position before but something about how she asked made me feel soooo old and behind schedule! Finally got around to it at 30, must say I'm glad I waited! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-get-baby-fever/page/2#post-1873414 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 16:48:36 +0000 Mrs.KMM 1873414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@IRunForFun: Same here! I've wanted to me a mom for as long as I can remember (definitely before DH). And I've always been drawn to babies and little kids. So the fever has been present for a long time - I just had to wait for the right time to act on it (on cycle 4 of TTC now!) :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-get-baby-fever/page/2#post-1871617 Sat, 20 Sep 2014 23:00:00 +0000 SerenaSF 1871617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Meowkers: My response exactly. I'm pregnant right now, and very happy to be pregnant, but I've never had baby fever. And nice to see you over here! I just discovered this forum and remember you from weddingbee :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-get-baby-fever#post-1870278 Fri, 19 Sep 2014 13:05:13 +0000 meredithNYC 1870278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not until TTC #2, strangely enough. At the age of 33. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-get-baby-fever#post-1870275 Fri, 19 Sep 2014 13:03:51 +0000 JennyG 1870275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know if I ever had true baby fever for LO #1. I always loved kids and knew I wanted a gaggle of them. That was back when I was younger and thought I'd be married by 24. Ha. I hadn't even met DH then. We got married at 29 and just sorta decided once we got married we'd let fate take over. I think I have a mild case now as we are TTC for LO #2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-get-baby-fever#post-1870232 Fri, 19 Sep 2014 12:38:54 +0000 CakeLady 1870232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About 2 months before we TTC, I had just turned 31.<br /> I sorta have again now, DS is almost 16 weeks... I think it is just crazy PP hormones though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-get-baby-fever#post-1870227 Fri, 19 Sep 2014 12:36:26 +0000 ineebee 1870227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Um, when I was 5! :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-get-baby-fever#post-1870128 Fri, 19 Sep 2014 11:34:56 +0000 Adira 1870128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was 25, my best friend had her baby, and that made me suddenly want one!

My mom used to say I'd make a good nurse in the maternity ward because I was always so good with them. I think the real fever kicked in when I got married, I wanted to try right away, but my husband wanted to wait a year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-get-baby-fever#post-1869989 Fri, 19 Sep 2014 10:20:19 +0000 snowjewelz 1869989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always loved babies but didn't have baby fever for myself. I'm already in my 3rd trimester and I'm still not sure if I had been hit w/ the fever! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-get-baby-fever#post-1869896 Fri, 19 Sep 2014 09:33:14 +0000 sorrycharlie 1869896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>super young! I had a scare at 17, though, and was terrified..so I would say I liked them but didn't realistically WANT one yet. But once DH and I were engaged, we both had the fever and fought it hard! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-get-baby-fever#post-1869895 Fri, 19 Sep 2014 09:32:53 +0000 alohaorchid 1869895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At around 27 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-get-baby-fever#post-1869890 Fri, 19 Sep 2014 09:31:03 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1869890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Leialou: haha I felt it at 18 too. Then it went away for a couple of years. So glad I didn't have a baby at 18, that would have been so hard! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-get-baby-fever#post-1869886 Fri, 19 Sep 2014 09:29:45 +0000 Bluemasonjar 1869886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always knew that I wanted to have kids but was never in a rush. We have been talking about TTC for a over a year now but keep pushing back our timeline. Well we decided late Sept/Oct we would finally start and in the last couple of weeks I have gotten very anxious to get going. I think the realization that friends are starting to have baby #2 is what did it for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-get-baby-fever#post-1869726 Fri, 19 Sep 2014 08:09:11 +0000 chibee 1869726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2 years after i got married, at 28!

I've always been so anxious and excited to have a baby one day. Haha. I remember telling DH when we got home from our honeymoon that we could actually have a baby now. He looked at me like I was crazy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-get-baby-fever#post-1869608 Fri, 19 Sep 2014 05:36:57 +0000 avivoca 1869608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was 2008, so I was 23. We didn't start TTC until I was 27, so it was a long four years. I have baby fever now and have since H was born (WHAT) but I'm afraid my husband will not be ready for another three years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-get-baby-fever#post-1869586 Fri, 19 Sep 2014 03:15:46 +0000 MrsScallop 1869586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@catomd00: same here! I didn't really get it until after LO #1 was no longer a newborn, then it hit me hard. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-get-baby-fever#post-1869536 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 23:14:32 +0000 coopsmama 1869536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got baby fever literally the month we got married. I hadn't wanted one up until that point but something about getting married gave me the fever.
