Anyone get nervous at trying for baby 2?

[Hunter Mum]

I've had to have a few health issues sorted and should (fingers crossed) get the all clear to try for our second baby next week. But now we can finally safely try the. I feel nervous, and keep finding reasons to wait. Don't get me wrong I have wanted a second baby for a while now... DD is 3. But I'm just scared about it for some reason.

Yep, change my mind every week!

Definitely. Although with my pregnancy history the next has to be planned and I have to be on lots of drugs and lots of specialist OB appointments, so maybe.. Maybe not anytime soon. It all depends! on a few things!

I was really nervous cause I knew what to expect re raising and birthing a child so we took the close your eyes and rip off the bandaid approach started when ds was 4 months and didn't think about it no charting or anything like last time lol now I'm pregnant I'm really packing it but I'm sure ill mellow when I start feeling bubba and connect

I was nervous, but for me the nerves were what if we didn't get pregnant again? We had no issues the first time, but I really worried that for some reason it wouldn't be so easy. A silly thing to worry about I know, but I guess everyone worries over different things!

I wasn't that nervous second time but I am this time round. I think it has something to do with health issues, I'm currently being tested for a few things and its like a safety net in a way. Its like you Can't start trying til all tests are back with good results but when they are done there's no more excuses!! Also, cause of the health issues you are more aware of how health can't be taken for granted for yourself and future pregnancies and how that could affect the children you already have! Still, I'm looking forward to starting TTC again, its just a different set if emotions that go with it this time round!

Also the age gap you have is similar, my youngest is 3 1/2 so it's a but scary to throw yourself back into all the things that come with an infant!

I was very excited at the idea of a second despite a horrible labour but it wasn't until i lost the second baby that trying again made me nervous but since having my DS i now know why i craved another baby so badly. My second labour was much much better and hes a terrific baby that i am even considering a 3rd

Exactly how I feel! Plus I had to have an anesthetic on Monday and had a mini freak out. It's my first since I had DD - caesar, and my epidural didn't work properly so they had to give me heavy sedation once she was out (not my choice). I didn't realise it had affected me that much and knowing I have to have caesar not natural (medical history) it freaks me out. Also DD was a bit of a miracle surprise so I am worried about not falling pregnant. But I will have to suck it up because I desperately want DD to have a sibling and I'm not getting any younger (31).
