    Anyone get nervous at trying for baby 2?

    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).
