Is it normal to feel like this?

My daughter is 4 months old. Although I often daydream about our next child and think about how to space them out, I also feel like I`m not sure if I could do this again! I had an awesome childbirth experience (homebirth), but I can`t see myself going through the whole pregnancy-birthing-newborn process again. Not sure why, especially considering it was all quite positive and fun. Is this normal? Does that mean I`ll only end up with one child or will my feelings surely change later?

Just let nature take its course. That's what I did. Now I'm 17 weeks preggo with a 14 month old son. :) Best wishes!

sweetnsmokin - 1144 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) it never failed for me either. just after my baby turned 1, i was itching for another. it really does take awhile for all the prev pg anxieties/pains/fears go away. it is entirely possible that you will not want another one tho. my best friend has 5 kids ranging from 14 years to 11 months, and she is 4 mos pg with #6! my roommate however has a 3 yr old and is doing everything in her power to NOT have another. EVER! Her view is that she will be taking away love from her 1st if she has another. i am the total opposite. i believe that the more you have to love, the more love youll have to give! all my kids make me happy, and if i were a millionaire i would have 10 kids. but theres alot of emotion that goes into making a baby. 10 months of waiting. the physical pain of childbirth. countless hours of lost sleep... but as time goes by you may look back and miss it all, and want to do it again. then again, 1 may be perfect for you.

After I had my son, I thought I NEVER wanted any more children, & that he was the only one I could ever love like that. After a while, I changed my mind, and me & my husband decided to try for #2 (when our son was 18months).... here we are...8 months pregnant =)
