Anyone already pg and thinking about ttc?

I am currently 22 weeks pg with boy #5.  I am already trying to figure out what to do for next time to get my girl.  I hate that I am already looking forward to 'next' time...but I just can not move on.

Is there anyone else pg and already thinking about next time?

 i'm not already preg (still waiting for PPAF!) but did go thru this when found out we were having DS3.  i used that time (& cont. to!) research what i'm going to do for a girl sway.  i felt bad at 1st but realized that it was okay.  he's here now (7 1/2 mos. old!) and such a joy.  i just pray that we are able to give him & his older brothers a sister!

give yourself some time.  are you definite on having more?  try to do some planning for next time if so.  also, it's okay to think ahead.  just try to enjoy your pregnancy now as much as possible (i know-easier said than done!)

The day my ds#3 was born I already wanted a fourth child.  But I am one of those people that would love a bunch of kids.

i thought i would have been the only one but yes. i want a dd so bad.

This happened to me when Ds was about 3 weeks old...I found IG and was hooked ever since! :)...I love it and it also helps me GD, and doesn't feed into it.  I also am very prepared for when I will try again, so at the very least I will know that I tried my best.

Are you a planner?  I am and always have been, so that's another reason why I started so early ;)...now that it is getting closer (ttc'ing in May) it is getting harder for me to wait...when it was 2 years away I was fine, but now I just can't wait!!

Yep, call me crazy. I am due in 6 weeks with #5. I would love at least 2 boys however long that takes. I would like to wait until this baby is about 1 yr. before getting preg. so I can BF and not have to use formula. I like my kids fairly close 18mo-2 yrs spacing at most. I will have to figure out my boy sway again and would maybe start my last mo of bfing as I am not sure it is entirely healthy (the diet) I am also going to consider avoiding a baby during Dec-most of March as I am leery of getting to the hospital on time with snow and all............

I just think being a mother and carring a new life is so special. I catch myself smiling in the quiet moments and thank God for letting me do this again. It's humbling.

Yeap me too, I am 35 weeks with boy #2 and thinking about where to go for IVF/PGD/MS the whole works....

What a beautiful post, angel-abby. I agree completely. I often feel I was born to be a mother and can't think of anything I would rather do. I just hope God blesses us with a baby quickly because I can't wait to be a mother! Congratulations on baby girl #5, how wonderful! 

 Yes, I sure am. I'm 20 weeks pg with my first one, been told it's a girl so far, so I'm really looking forward to expanding my family even more and giving my husband a son. I'm not really sure how long to wait to start ttc after I give birth, but I'm guessing we won't have much time to try for the first 6 months at least anyway. I like the idea of having children close in age, so that they can keep eachother company better. =]

I was dead set on being done until this past week.  I've come to accept that the medical professionals can do jack sh!t for my pain and problems and pregnancy is going to be painful for me whenever it happens.  I didn't really want to have a 7th child but now I'm so excited at the idea and can't help thinking about "just one more" after this...

My DH loves the idea of one more too...  So we're already planning ahead.  It's our 10th anniversary next September.  We're going to start TTC #8 at that point I think in the hope of a May/June 2011 baby.  No swaying or anything because 1/. I'm too lazy and 2/. we win either way - DS5 either gets a little brother close in age or we get to finish our family with another little girl!

I'm going to ask for a Csection for baby #8 so I can have my tubes tied at that point.  DH is shopping for a 10 seater people carrier already and we're looking at our bedroom layouts and extensions already! 

Can you tell we like to plan these things out??!!!!! 

I love the idea of #7 and #8 now...  I had my DS1 in 2001 and will have baby #8 in 2011 if all goes well.  Seems a great time to complete our family if fate smiles on us!  Plus we have a kind of pattern going - our kids were born in 2001, 2002, 2004, 2005, 2007, 2008 and #7 will be coming in 2010 and hopefully #8 in 2011!

We've accepted that it will be a difficult pregnancy for me.  This one alone is a nightmare so God only knows what the next one will be like - but we'd really like a #8 and I'd really like to get it over and done with ASAP so I can move on and recover my body and health and get on with the business of being a Mummy to lots and lots of children!!! 

Of course...  Might change my mind by then.  I was dead set on this being my last one until I found acceptance of my health problems this past week.  Now it doesn't seem so scary and frustrating an idea...

Well we are done after this one 6 is our number But i have to say never say never because i said number 4 and 5 were my last haha

if i had 7 though id have to have 8

i have easy pregnancies really apart from the spd its just my hubby whos not keen on the idea of more due to cars and things lol anyway for now im saying this is the last

xx

i think i belong here, i am due in april, with my second dd, cant wait to meet her, and most likely start breastfeeding for 4 months or so then start my ttc journy for my alittle boy, 

so now just collecting data getting ready, buying equimpments (egs) and practicing.

Yes, I'm guilty!!  The day I found out about DS#2 & 3 I knew I was going to have to go another round for my princess.  And the day I found out DS#4 was a boy.... I cried a lot & knew that somehow I was going to have to pursued my DH into baby #5 through PGD or adoption.  I think we'll go the adoption route but DH can't talk about it now.  He says, "Can't we just have this baby first?"  I took that as, "that's not a no! :)"

I will wait until #4 is 6-12 months to discuss further with DH... and maybe by then my GD will be gone (doubt it) or I will know that I simply can't handle more than what I already have!!!  But I will definately take in my time with this little man... he may be my last.. I don't want to rush along his infanthood for selfish reasons... feel like I did that with 2 & 3!! 

Good Luck!!! 

Yep I belong here too.  I am 25 weeks preg with DS2 and im already planning Hi Tech starting prob early 2011.  I am now really getting used to the idea of 2 boys looking after their lil sis....
