Did it effect your future plans?

Hi lovely ladies.

I am just sitting here getting my BB fix after a few days of total chaos here. And I have been thinking about the fact that I thought that I would be ready to go back for number two bub by now, and had always thought I would have my babies close together.

I can't think of anything worse right now, and I don't really know why. I don't think that it was my experience of newborns and motherhood because DS was a delightful little one.

And its not the 'being pregnant' factor, because other than being scared stiff for the first 20 weeks, I thoroughly enjoyed being pregnant.

So maybe it is the AC thing? Maybe I just don't want to open up that box of goodies again. Did anyone else find that their plans changed? That they weren't ready to go back as soon as they thought they would? I really don't want to feel like this forever, I don't want DS to be an only child just because of our required method for conception.

I realise this isn't exactly a 'parenting' question, but don't know where else to drop this one, so feel free to move it if I am being a dunce.

thanks ladies.

I would like to try for a second baby but I'm scared of having to go through the whole rollercoaster again I just got off but I think if I don't try now it might not happen at all.

So I have decided that we will try for another but I will not be focusing on it if it happens it happens ( just with charting) but if it does not then I am blessed with the best baby girl and she is all I need.

I had wanted 4 children, I have a step son, naturally conceived DD 4, and now ICSI princess 3 months. Unfortunately, there won't be another.

I can't put myself or my husband through the ups and downs of IVF again. It nearly tore us apart, and I have never felt so emotionally exhausted in my life, even now with sleepless nights.

I wish I had the strength to go again, but we were lucky first go last time, and I'm not about to push my luck again.
