03-11-2009 - I cant be broody, can I?

My mood while writing this blog:
Laughing at myself

Ok, so for those of you who know me or have been unfortunate to ask me how I am at a bad time, you will know that I found motherhood a real shock and I struggled with it for the first month or so.

I am now LOVING being a mummy, I adore my gorgeous princess. She is my everything!!! I do NOT want to go back to work, I could be a full time mummy forever haha

Over the past week or so, I have heard of three new pregnancies amongst my friends. Of course, one of my most favourite things ever is to celebrate a BFP!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE BFPS!! haha but I have noticed that amongst my absolute joy and happiness for my friends at their amazing news, I have felt just a tiny drop of jealousy! I dont really like the word 'jealousy' as it makes me sound like I am bitter about it, which is really not the case.

I just feel a bit 'oh' and a little 'hmph' if that makes sense! haha.......I cant be broody, can I? If I am completely honest, there is NO way I could cope with another baby right now and I really want to spend this precious time with Emily-Rose just concentrating on her. So where is this feeling coming from? is it normal? Maybe I just miss being pregnant. Not sure.

Well .... firstly SOOOO chuffed you are loving motherhood this much! Fabulous news indeed. That has been one of my fears .... that I will love it so much that I just cannot go back to work. Second .... I am now no expert but would think that what you are feeling is normal. It bodes well though as it shows that you will have another when you are ready. If I remember correctly you are going in for Cyril tomorrow, right? Good luck with that. Will be thinking of you. Has Emily taken the bottle now? You set for everything? - L

I have your feelings myself. I miss pregnancy so much. LOVE everything. My hubby says he is done and I am having a difficult time with that and therefore these 'jealous', whatever feelings are getting worse. I love nothing to hear that someone just had a baby or just found out.

i totally miss being pregnant! i can't wait to be again, especially b/c it was such a hard fought journey to get there in the first place. our hope is to get pregnant again this coming summer after our jul01 wedding! here's hoping! right now i couldn't imagine another little one though - at 3am when he's fussy i second guess my decision to do this all again, but i know i will, and will love every minute of it!!

i have always missed being pregnant after i had all of my kids. after the first two times i stopped wishing for baby to come and just tried to enjoy the pregnancy as much as i could,. it is an amazing feeling to have baby inside you. i think it must have something to do with maternal instict and hormones. as is everything with women. i am at my worst now as my husband ryan made it permanent by getting a vasectomy. so i am so jealous of all who are pregnant or are still thinking about having more. i would love to have more. but i have been blessed with 4 beautiful children and i too am not ready for another just yet. (fyi i like having them 3yrs apart. it keeps them close enough to like the same things and be buddies but by the time they are 3 they are doing so much for them selves and either no diaper or almost out. so thing are easier for you and you have had a nice amount of time together. my last ones are 2 years apart and it is a bit harder for me.) so i understand how you feel. and with your next you will understand the feelings better and they will all pass. but lets face it we were meant to have babies so that is what is wired in us. and the jealousy is not bitter it is more of i wish i was or will be blessed with pregnancy again as well. how long are you off? hope you feel better.

I feel like that sometimes but I too don't want another baby until Joshua has had my full attention for a long while yet. We are planning to start trying for baby number 2 when Joshua is year old. That way he'll be nearly 2 or older when the next one comes, depending on how long it takes me to get preggers of course. I am really jealous of anyone I see that is pregnant. I miss my bump and I still get upset when I look back at my bump photos. On the other hand I feel sorry for pregnant women because I know what they have to go through when they give birth! I am not looking forward to going through that again xx

Rach, all I can say is, at least Emily-Rose is a couple of months old now. Caleb is only just two weeks, and I'm upset because my sister-in-law is TALKING about having another baby. All I could think was wow, I wish I could have another one already. Definitely not true. I need time with my two gorgeous boys before I even think about it. It's the hormones playing tricks on us I tell you. lol.

Sweetie its normal, I am sure. Been going through the same thing if I am honest. Everytime I see a lady with a bump, I kind of get all sad. Its an odd feeling.I am sure it will pass in time. xxxx

I feel the same way, whenever a friend falls pregnant or i see a pregnant women i feel incredibly jelous, all i think bout lately is pregnancy and babies and its driving me mad! I already have 2 and its hard work but i want another one, or two, or threee haha soooo bad. My friend had a scan the other day and was only 9 weeks 6 days gone, i saw the scan pick and was so jelous i could have cried. Its exciting being pregnant and its normal to feel the way you do, dont woryy, im in the same boat too xxx

COMPLETELY NORMAL! I feel that way too! I starting trying to conceive 1 year after my 1st was born & I love it, but even now I miss that feeling of excitement that comes along w/ being pregnant. Don't forget, you spend 10 months of your life adjusting to a certain life style when you are pregnant....For me, there is a bit of a personal void after. Not sure why? It takes awhile to get back into the swing of things I guess.

It's completely normal!! I struggled for about a whole year after Sarah was born, but very soon after she was born I would've loved to have been pregnant again even though I knew I couldn't have coped with another baby so soon. I think once you've been pregnant and had a baby, there's something in your mind and body that feels the need to be pregnant again, even if you know it's not practicle to have another baby just yet.

Totally normal hun, i've been there myself :) I like the idea of being pregnant again but quite happy with just the one at the mo x

luckywhite - Tuesday, 3 Nov
im the same... id love to be pregnant again you feel sooo special

christinesc - Tuesday, 3 Nov
Ah Rach, I feel the SAME way. I like the word envious rather than jealous. :) There's just so much excitement and anticipation with a BFP. It's ALL about you. Once you have the baby, it becomes all about him or her. I actually had a girlfriend the other day completely bypass James and come straight towards ME for a hug. I was taken back and almost began to cry. No one cares about ME anymore, lol. I remember after Grayson was born, I was ready to do it all over again and I think it was just for those reasons. Hang in there. And be careful BDing, haha! xo

I think it's normal because I sometimes too think about it and I am sure many women go through it after just giving birth.

MummytoHarrison - Tuesday, 3 Nov
I think it is perfectly natural!!! Pregnancy is a different set of emotions I should think - all the anticipation and planning for baby, whereas now you have the joys of watching her grow and develop daily!!!

That's it, you just miss being pregnant. You can work on another when the time feels right or maybe by then you won't want another. As crazy as it sounds, right now, while I am currently pregnant, I am already thinking of having another before I get too old! Is that crazy?? I know what your feeling especially at our age.

mmyof3angels - Tuesday, 3 Nov
AWW, I think it sounds normal. :) Not only is being pregnant amazing, but being a Mommy is the best thing in the world and I can only imagine why you would be wanting another one! :)
