Hubs and I always planned to have two children close in age so I have started thinking about it... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-get-baby-fever-for-2-5#post-887550 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 03:36:10 +0000 iheartleopardprint 887550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We always wanted two kids, when DS was 15 months old we got pg when DD. She was born 3 days after DSs second birthday, so they are basically exactly 2 years apart and that was always our plan. </p> <p>But, i never got baby fever for number 2 like i did my first. We just followed our plan. DD is 10 months old, I have no baby fever at all. Luckily, as DH got a vasectomy when she was 6 month old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-get-baby-fever-for-2-5#post-887307 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 21:12:56 +0000 Maysprout 887307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I knew I wanted more kids but did not want to think about being pregnant again for the first couple months. I was over the moon for LO and couldn't imagine another baby. DH had baby fever immediately and it was cute but I was still recovering so also didn't want to hear it yet. </p> <p>Around 9-12 months I started thinking about it more but wasn't quite ready, I was missing her being a baby but wasn't quite ready for another one. Then after she turned a year it slowly started ramping up and when she was 18 months it was in full swing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-get-baby-fever-for-2-5#post-887210 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 20:14:26 +0000 MrsRcCar 887210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Round 7 months. We really do want our LO's to be close together and I don't want to see AF anymore...She could go on vacation anytime.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-get-baby-fever-for-2-5#post-887200 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 20:09:01 +0000 SleepyMonkey 887200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>the first months were so hard for me because i think was depressed and so anxious, so i never wanted to have another kid ever again. at 5 months, i could see myself doing it again...now at close to 8 months, i find myself reminiscing about when she was a squishy newborn and missing those days and oh i wouldn't mind if i got pregnant now....yeah. selective memory. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-get-baby-fever-for-2-5#post-887190 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 19:57:47 +0000 MrsMccarthy 887190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i have a mixture because on one hand i have baby fever because he is growing up too quickly but on the other i love being able to focus fully on him. Tor is almost 10 months. when he reaches 1 and a half or 2 we plan to start trying. in the interim i am charting so i can be prepared </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-get-baby-fever-for-2-5#post-878573 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 02:35:26 +0000 erinpye 878573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought I had baby fever when my LO was just born, and then reality and exhaustion set in, and neither DH nor I were ready to think about it until she was just over a year old. Got pregnant when DD was 13 months old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-get-baby-fever-for-2-5#post-878416 Sun, 23 Jun 2013 22:47:27 +0000 yoursilverlining 878416@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 12 months and no baby fever here. I also never had baby fever for #1 so maybe I'm fever-resistant? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-get-baby-fever-for-2-5#post-878404 Sun, 23 Jun 2013 22:36:47 +0000 Mrs. Stroller 878404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sandy said it perfectly, M is such an easy baby that I don't really want another. Plus I can't imagine splitting myself between another person, I'm spread too thin already. He's 18m and we've agreed to reassess at 2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-get-baby-fever-for-2-5#post-878365 Sun, 23 Jun 2013 22:00:35 +0000 Mrs. Pen 878365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It hasn't yet! DS is 16 months and I have no desire for another one at this point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-get-baby-fever-for-2-5#post-878363 Sun, 23 Jun 2013 21:57:57 +0000 MrsScallop 878363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is just over 6 months and I have just started to feel like I really want another. I feel like I barely remember when she was new and tiny and I want that back. I find it interesting, too, how my baby fever now is stronger than it was before #1. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-get-baby-fever-for-2-5#post-878303 Sun, 23 Jun 2013 21:27:57 +0000 lomom 878303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm in the one and done camp. </p> <p>DH talks about wanting more kids, I told him we could talk when LO was in pre-school (which is age 3 around here).</p> <p>I do most of the childcare and night wakings and I'm pumping and I'm just exhausted. I think I need at least 3 years to forget how hard it is to do it all solo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-get-baby-fever-for-2-5#post-878208 Sun, 23 Jun 2013 20:35:52 +0000 MamaMoose 878208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When my LO was a newborn I had some serious pp anxiety issues and very much questioned whether I would ever want another one. But by the time she was about 4 months and we had a better handle on caring for her I knew I would have more. She's now almost seven months and I miss the feeling of a newborn in my arms but we won't be trying until her second birthday! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-get-baby-fever-for-2-5#post-878194 Sun, 23 Jun 2013 20:29:36 +0000 MrsF 878194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>M is almost 9 months and I am totally not there yet. I'm not worried about pregnancy, but we had such a horrible newborn period - I feel like I have PTSD! I know that there will be a #2 (and maybe more). I'd love M to have a sibling who is around 2.5 years apart, but I don't think I'll ever have "baby fever" again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-get-baby-fever-for-2-5#post-878193 Sun, 23 Jun 2013 20:29:04 +0000 littlek 878193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My baby fever comes and goes. Right now, no baby fever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-get-baby-fever-for-2-5#post-878135 Sun, 23 Jun 2013 19:28:43 +0000 mamabolt 878135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is going to be one this week and I'm missing the tiny baby phase! We will wait a while to TTC number 2 but I can't wait! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-get-baby-fever-for-2-5#post-877889 Sun, 23 Jun 2013 15:57:48 +0000 sera_87 877889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 7 months but before then I was in the no way Jose camp. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-get-baby-fever-for-2-5#post-877760 Sun, 23 Jun 2013 14:35:36 +0000 googly-eyes 877760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When she was under a month I thought I wanted another, but after that and til now (9 months) I dont have baby fever!! But I am starting to think I want one eventually! Before I just wanted the 2nd for dd to have a sibling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-get-baby-fever-for-2-5#post-877757 Sun, 23 Jun 2013 14:31:56 +0000 pinkb 877757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With in a week of having LO! I still say (almost everyday) I cant wait to do it all over again, I constantly think about it and day dream about it...lol. I had a tough pregnancy and next time will be high risk the whole time but labor was a breeze. I will wait cause I want some time with LO before we have another but seriously I cant wait to do it all again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-get-baby-fever-for-2-5#post-877751 Sun, 23 Jun 2013 14:19:33 +0000 red_seattle 877751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Once X weaned and started sleeping better/through the night around 12 months, I started wanting another. But we have to wait a while still before we can have another (for medical reasons, finance reasons, and school reasons). So, yeah, I have baby fever for #2, and there will definitely be a #2 come hell or high water, but it's still going to be a while before we have another child. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-get-baby-fever-for-2-5#post-877750 Sun, 23 Jun 2013 14:15:46 +0000 maybebaby 877750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Revel: LOL I know!! I always thought I'd be one of those people who was ready right away. No way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-get-baby-fever-for-2-5#post-877730 Sun, 23 Jun 2013 13:48:45 +0000 Revel 877730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@maybebaby: had to laugh when I saw this thread. At three weeks I'm like, another???? You must be joking! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-get-baby-fever-for-2-5#post-877593 Sun, 23 Jun 2013 11:24:35 +0000 Boheme 877593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't even imagine! Ask me again when I've gotten a full night's sleep :) We planned on TTC again when C turned 6 months but due to my pregnancy and L&amp;D being much harder than we ever imagined we've pushed it back indefinitely. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-get-baby-fever-for-2-5#post-877578 Sun, 23 Jun 2013 11:16:41 +0000 lemondrop 877578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We both had a brief moment when we got home from the hospital, but then I wasn't into really trying for baby #2 until a little after a year. My husband would have been fine with it from the 10 month point, when we pulled the goalie, I wasn't 100% on board yet. Once C hit 13 months, he got so much more fun and I was really ready for another (well mostly, being sick during pregnancy scares me)! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-get-baby-fever-for-2-5#post-877536 Sun, 23 Jun 2013 10:49:01 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 877536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>6 months!<br /> I got pg when she was 10.5 mobths old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-get-baby-fever-for-2-5#post-877412 Sun, 23 Jun 2013 09:12:32 +0000 sandy 877412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is 19 months and I'm just starting to think about #2. She was/is such an easy baby/child so I'm a little scared the second won't be so easy. Also I am just so caught up in her things that I almost can't imagine fitting another child in...but I know I want her to have a sibling and I don't want them to be too far apart...so I think we'll start trying after her second birthday </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-get-baby-fever-for-2-5#post-877405 Sun, 23 Jun 2013 09:07:56 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 877405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Phases; I didn't all come at once:</p> <p>5m: I can start seeing myself do this again<br /> 6-7m: I def want to do this again, but I'm not dyeing to.<br /> 8+: OK- we know when we're TTC again an I'm very excited about it</p> <p>For me: I needed my body back in shape and wanted to enjoy not being pregnant for awhile. Also- I needed my son to sttn and needed to know he was healthy and hitting milestones. At this point: all is perfect and we are actually excited about the prospect of a 2nd. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-get-baby-fever-for-2-5#post-877404 Sun, 23 Jun 2013 09:07:35 +0000 photojane 877404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted other because Sadie is 4.5 months, and I don't have baby fever yet. I actually still feel the same as you! I can't imagine doing this all again anytime soon. I'm even just considering skipping bio kid #2 and going straight to our adoption plan. haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-get-baby-fever-for-2-5#post-877400 Sun, 23 Jun 2013 09:04:29 +0000 lovehoneybee 877400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably 6 months? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-get-baby-fever-for-2-5#post-877398 Sun, 23 Jun 2013 09:03:37 +0000 Running Elley 877398@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH had baby fever for #2 right away. It took me until about 4 months PP. And I found out I was pregnant at 6 months PP. I'm pretty sure that if I weren't pregnant already at this point the baby fever would be going crazy! I love this stage with E- he's just sooooo fun- and I can't wait to experience it again :) </p>
