As dh and I were driving home from the hospital on Friday I mentioned to him that I already miss being pregnant! I do! I miss that first day of contractions too! I loved feeling my little baby kicking and such. I look at him right now and say I want another one! Of course, this is a few days after dh has mentioned the 'V' word. He's ready to be done, and in reality, I'm older and we really can't 'fit' another kid in this house (unless it was a girl). It just makes me sad that this was PROBABLY my last pregnancy. I am blessed with the family I have. Thanks for listening!
Sad? No. I might recommend you for a 3 day evaluation with the Men in WHITE COATS! Enjoy your little man!! You never know what will happen!! :hug99:
I remember standing over DD's isolette in the NICU thinking that I wanted to have another. Looking back on it now, I think the epidural must have gone to my head. But I know how you're feeling. Enjoy the little guy!
I"m SOOOOO with you! I saw probably 4 pregnant ladies today in Target and my heart was aching and I was JEALOUS of them!! It's a good thing I'm not working at BRU anymore. DH does NOT want anymore...I totally had to convince him for a 3rd, so another is probably out of the question. I thought I was crazy at 7 weeks pp thinking of pregnancy and being jealous of other's pregnant bellies...you are only a few days pp...lol!!!!! I hope things are going well!
Totally not alone in this department. I had the delivery from h#ll yet driving home all I could think about was the next time around. I can't wait to be pg again. I just need to get DH on board.
I kinda understand where you are coming from. We know that this will be our last too and it is kinda sad for me. I guess I just need to enjoy each and every wonderful and aweful (m/s still at 15 weeks!) moment of this pregnancy...as crazy as I may feel right now!
I felt the same way after Grace, and DH was supposed to have the big V...he put it off and behold...here I am !!! So look out!!!!
I know how you feel - DH wants me to get my tubes tied with my c/s this time - I'm beginning to have my doubts. Am I REALLY ready to say absolutely no more?
yeah, me too. I just knew that after having twins that I would not want anymore - I really do. I just wonder how many I will have to have before I feel done? I think I will always feel "jealous" of pregnant women.
I am right there with you. Even though during labor, I was thinking, "I am soooo glad this is the last time I have to go through this", but now that he is here, I look at him and get a little sad thinking that I will never have a baby this little again.
I have had this feeling for 2 1/2 years now. Ever since Garrett was born. The sad thing is..we haven't been really using anything for all that time, and I am not getting pregnant. I mean I thought by now..we would have a slip up at least. LOL I was OK with not having another baby last year...but now I feel that old ache coming back... I wonder if it ever goes away completly?? Brandy
I don't know if that feeling will ever go away... I'm sitting here with the insanity of 4 kids under 5... one who is recovering from puking up this morning... my labor with Julianna was the labor from H-E-L-L... and yet part of me still would love one more... but then I think will I ever be ready to say "this is it?" In my case I feel like it's harder b/c my dh doesn't seem like he'll ever be ready to officially quit. It's not like he's jumping up to have another one right now, but he's very far from wanting to ever officially say "done." But you kind of get to a certain point where you think it just wouldn't be good for everyone involved to have more.... ugh... so difficult... b/c then I think well if there is one more that is meant to be then how can you say it wouldn't be good?? Obviously it wouldn't be good for that child who is meant to be for you to say "no more." ARRRRGGGHH.... I really, really hope that if we do have one more...or at some point anyway, to feel a sense of completeness... to just feel at peace that we're done and that I don't want another.
:hug99: Jackie, I did not feel our family was complete until after I had the twins, so I can relate. :hug99:

Brandy I'm almost glad to hear someone else say it's an "ache". That is what it is and that's how I feel right now. My twins are 8 yr old and I'm so scared if I don't try again, I will regret it later. Just one more time I keep thinking, before it's too late! I'm right there with ya!
I can totally relate. Sometimes my heart breaks when I see a pregnant woman or a newborn because I know DH will never agree to have another child.
I have had that "ache" for a very long time. I've always said I wanted to start trying for one more when the twins were 5 but DH has always said no more, he feels done. My girls are 6 now and that feeling hasn't gotten any better, but I'm pretty sure DH won't ever change his mind. We haven't done anything permanent, I'm on BC pills, so I guess I feel like if it's meant to happen then at some point it will. It's so hard when your not on the same page as your DH, especially if he's like mine and gets upset if you bring it up.
