Trouble having another baby

Hi Mamas! I’m having a really hard time emotionally with trying to have another baby…. My husband and I got married 3 years ago and it took 9 months to have our beautiful little boy together. Since he was born we started trying again because I wanted babies close in age but it’s been 16 months of actively trying and we have had no luck. I’ve become obsessed with it. I’m completely stressed out over it. I cry every month when I get my period. I am extremely grateful for my children now don’t get me wrong, I love them all so much! It’s just been a hell of a roller coaster. I have a laparoscopy scheduled next week and my husband couldn’t be seen my the urologist until November, they were super booked out when we schedule it. I guess I’m just venting and looking for some support from other moms because my husband just doesn’t get it from the emotional side. We have a blended family and I keep getting “in time it’ll happen” or “I’ve had 5 kids already so it’s not as hard for me” he doesn’t think something is wrong when it clearly is. Thanks for listening 💗

Your body needs to heal.. it takes more than two years to fully recover from a pregnancy. Did you carry all five or just one?

Thank you for sharing this story. My husband and I have been married for 6 years, and it took us 4 years of trying to we finally got pregnant with our son 2022, and now he's about to be 9 months. We are trying again just like you mentioned to have them close in age, but it's been 7 months and still not pregnant . It's really overwhelming, but we can't let it control us because it'll destroy us mentally and emotionally. Praying for us to receive this great blessing of a baby ❤️

@Amy awe I am so happy you were able to get your blessing! 💗 thank you, I feel like I need to let it go for now and see what happens but at the same time with my husbands low sperm count & motility I can’t stop trying to come up with ways to help him either. You’re right though, we need to focus on ourselves and our relationship because I feel like I don’t even want to have sex anymore because of it all. Thank you for your words of encouragement!

I completely understand the feeling of despair after each month of trying, it took my husband and I close to 7 years to conceive our son. after each month the waiting and testing, breaks any hopes. We are nearly 40 with a 16-month-old now. something that worked for us was taking a break for 1-2 months and just focusing on ourselves and our lives. I hope you get your blessing soon xx
