Pregnancy Desire

Hi ~ I have an odd question. Since giving birth to a baby that I`m absolutely in love with this past March, I have developed a STRONG desire to get pregnant again. I was hoping that maybe it was just the hormones talking but the urge just doesn`t seem to be going away ~ even a little. Sometimes I even get depressed about `not being pregnant`...I obsess about it! Can someone PLEASE tell me what in the world is wrong with me?! And is there anything that I can do?!

gr8scottswife - 89 days ago Rating: 1 (2 votes) Nothing is wrong with you. I have been sitting around thinking how I can approach my husband about getting pregnant again with in the first six weeks after the birth of our child. I've been wondering how I can get pregnant and breastfeed at the same time. You're fine. It's great to have children back to back because htey are closer in stages and will be good friends.

Baby3OnWay - 90 days ago Rating: 2 (3 votes) I don't think theres anything wrong with you at all. I got like that after my first daughter and talked my hubby into another baby when my other was 14 months. We decided to plan to get prego in September so when I went in for my Dr appointment to talk about getting pregnant again he told me that I already was... HOW WEIRD! I was even on birth control... its like my body and mind knew it was going to happen and wanted it to happen. If you and your partner feel up to it go ahead. I found having them close is better to get them in the same routine. My next one is due in Sept. and my second one will only be 10.5 months old!! Thats three babies in less then 3 years

jessicadarling - 90 days ago Rating: 1.5 (2 votes) I am going through the same thing right now. My daughter is three weeks old and I miss being pregnant. I think the fact that she is such a good baby makes me want another one even more. I love her and want more of this great feeling. I hear this is a pretty common feeling among new mothers. It usually passes. Seriously even after 25 hours of back labour and throwing up with every contraction I keep thinking that labour wasn't that bad and I would do it again in a heart beat. I miss my belly and I miss the feeling of having her inside me. I have never felt more beautiful than when I was pregnant.

Mommyof2boys - 90 days ago Rating: 2 (2 votes) It should pass, a lot of women miss being pregnant and often wish they were still pregnant, start planning when you would like to have another child, giving your body time to heal from this previous birth. good luck!

Christina1984 - 90 days ago Rating: 1.5 (2 votes) when i had my daughter 3 yrs ago i kinda missed being pregnant and thought the whole birth thing was so awesome in the end. i got over it down the road. i think its because the experience of bring a life into the world is so amazing that u want to do it again. of course now at 6 months pregnant i dont want to be pregnant anymore, wish the baby was out lol. dreading the birth pain even tho i thought it was amazing with my daughter.

Cindie - 90 days ago Rating: 1.5 (2 votes) I think it's because you were so used to being pregnant and loved it that you want to feel that way again. I feel the same way regarding being pregnant. I hate the M/S and all, but I love knowing my little boy is in there all safe and warm!

Melanie07 - 90 days ago Rating: 1.3 (3 votes) It is your hormones. It will pass. You have all kinds of feelings. Most of us miss being pregnant. It is a special bond you have with your child. It will pass. It will hit again when your baby becomes a toddler. Just keep telling yourself, it is way to early to get pregnant so soon. Let your body heal. Enjoy your new baby.

mommy-of-3 - 90 days ago Rating: 2 (3 votes) You are probably just missing the feeling of being pregnant. I know right after I had my youngest I missed it, though the feeling only lasted for a couple of weeks. I think it just takes a little time to adjust I mean after all we spend 9 months carrying a little person around with us and then one day bam, it's over. Give it a little time, you might start to lose the desire.

captshelley - 90 days ago Rating: 2 (2 votes) I think many of us, maybe most of us, have a strong desire to become pregnant again. Atleast, I do. I'm not sure if it's hormones or being around a baby or just the love of being pregnant. It took me a good while to remember that I WASN'T pregnant anymore. I think your completely normal but I don't know how to lessen the desire.
