I Have BABY FEVER All the Time

Oh that baby fever, does it ever end. I'm already planning for when we'll start trying for number 2 and Brittany is only 5 months. You need to have a serious talk with your hubby and let him know how bad you want another baby. He shouldn't make you feel guilty about him having to work more to afford another baby, after all both of you will be making sacrifices if you decided to go ahead and try. Maybe you can find something to do from home to help bring in extra income. Does your mother help with any of the utilities? I'm not sure of your financial situation, but most couples will find a way to work this out if you really want a baby. Try to find out the real reason why he doesn't want another one right now.

Good Luck.

well I have some left over baby things if you need any of it I did babysit in my home years ago and last year and I have a Porta Crib,Excersaucer,2 Infant seats, Bouncey Seat and sheets if you need it get back to me I have to get it out of my House cleaning house for good

I remeber having the baby fever also when my son was 2. My husband also said no for the longest time and when I finally got over it and decided that I was just happy with my 1 little boy and enjoy the time I had he decided on his birthday to have another, 10 days later..last Halloween I took a pregnancy test and found I was preg. And just had my baby 4 months ago. And now Im running around with my head cut off. When 1 wants to go potty the other needs a diaper change and to be fed. If my husband didnt actively help me Id pull my hair out...and that solely on the demands that need to be met between the 2..cause neither of them even misbehave. I have decided that 2 is enough and I'll be happy when both my babies are older and my husband and I can be together ALONE again. So dont worry, it'll pass and remember you have a life time to have kids (kids are everwhere) but once their here, doing what u've gotten into a routine doing will be a fond memory. Something I also didnt remember when I was baby crazy was all the trips, and pokes and peeing in the cups that preg women have to go through for 9 months....wore me out!

ME TOO!!! I have a 5 yr old daughter and 2 1/2 yr old son. I too have had two c-sections and was told 3 is it. I want another baby soooo bad, I had always seen myself having 3 kids, but my husband said no. He decided he should have a vesectomy (sp?). I felt horrible. Like he didn't think I would be a good mom to 3 - he said "it is already hard enough on you with two little monsters." I didn't want him to do it, but I felt like I was also being selfish not to let him. Was I? It's been a little over a year that he had his surgery (never went back to get tested - why? I don't know) and he is still afraid we might get pregnant - and I am on Birth Control to regulate my periods!!!!!!!!!!!!! I finally had a breakdown and asked him why he is so scared of getting pregnant again. He finally told me he was scared I wouldn't make it through another pregnancy or c-section. So I found out it wasn't because he didn't think I could handle another child, but because he was worried for me and another baby physically. I still wish everyday I could have another baby, and even sometimes get jealous when I find out someone is pregnant. But I am learning to enjoy every blessing giving to another family!! -And make an extra effort to hold them every chance I get!!!!

I hope your family is healthy and you get the support you need from them. Good luck,

It has to do with your baby turning 2 because at 2 they arent babies anymore and you still want a little cuddly tiny one again. because I keep wanting one too, then I remind my self that my youngest ( also 2) is still in diapers, and how WONDERFUL it will be when I can have no kids in diapers. I've had kids in diapers for almost 5 strait years, those things get expensive. Then if that dosnt do it I remind my self about all those middle of the night feedings and no sleep. And the prego emotions that make you burst out crying at ANYTHING, and how miserable you feel when yer huge prego, on and morning sickness gotta just love throwing up every morning. and then LABOR, labor sucks it really does. And having another baby will mean your baby wont be your baby anymore dont know about yours but my baby needs to still be the baby for a while longer. and Havign another kid puts a lot of stress on the kiddos that are already around.

and when all that fails to get me out of that I want a baby mood. . . .

I remember that having another baby puts off my honeymoon another 3 years. We never got an actual honeymoon and are going when the kids get big enough to stay with grandma and grandpa for a week or so w/o problems. Not to mention we have to keep putting off that disney vacation , Disney world is no fun with a baby.

Talk to your doctor, could be a little depression. Sounds like you have enough reasons to be depressed! Maybe your husband too! Most of us get the baby blues.
Sounds like your husband is stressed and maybe not getting enough attention from you. Back off the subject. Putting more stess on him is not the solution. It will all work out.

I am dealing with this right now too. I'm in school full time, working part time, hubby works full time, little boy is 18 mos, and we live with hubby's parents, money's tight too. I want a baby so bad. 2 of my hubby's cousins just had babies, and a friend or ours is pregnant now, so I'm surrounded by babies. I hope too that this passes, because I'm just nuts, and hubby keeps telling me no, we can't have another. I find about the only thing that helps is spending time alone with the little one I have. Just knowing that another baby would take away from times like that helps, at least for a little while. I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that around age two, our babies become big kids and we suddenly realize how much we miss just cuddling with a little bundle to whom we are everything. Our big kids don't need us for as much, and want to do everything on their own. I think it's mostly an adjustment period, and once we get used to not having that baby anymore, it will pass (I hope). I'm really glad to know I'm not the only person in this boat. I was starting to feel like I was crazy for wanting another one in this situation.

C. I have Baby Fever quite a bit myself. I work in a salon so I see all kinds of people all the time (such as new moms). I have just one 3 yr old boy, and I really want another baby too.

But, I do agree that this is an expensive world that we live in. Sometimes we have to use our heads instead of our hearts.
That is why we have "Family Planning". (i.e. birth control,etc.).

I hope that you two do eventually have another child, but maybe RIGHT NOW is not the time.

I don't know if you guys are Christians or not, but it is something you could pray about and leave in God's hands.

Good luck.

There must be something about your baby turning two! When my second was born and began to grow I didn't hesitate to get rid of the baby stuff he grew out of. Suddenly it hit me the night I first tucked him into his big boy bed... like a punch in the gut. Took me by surprise. I still struggle with it... he'll be four next month. But...when I really think about it I think my family is just right now. Three would change a lot of things and make some things a lot harder. I would miss my growing freedom now that they are older. I think that I am really mourning the fact that I won't ever be pregnant or give birth again, which is by far just the most magical thing ever. So... I don't know if this is what you're feeling too... it might be easier for me because I just turned 38 and won't have too many more years to agonize! Good luck figuring out what's right for your family.
