Husband with baby fever

Anyone else’s husband already ready for another baby? We just hand our first, a baby girl. She wasn’t planned but of course we were ecstatic anyway. I definitely want a few kids but we’re both young and I’m in the middle of college still. He is already talking about wanting a baby boy, he told me this morning that he had a dream about us having a baby boy and then he said “Yeah I want one nowww” 😅 It’s sweet that he wants all these babies but lorddd not yet haha

My son is 2 months and my boyfriend just had a birthday on the 17th. I asked him what he wanted, and he said "another one" 🤣 like at least give me a year lol

At least let them now you should wait 18 months between babies for your body to heal. Maybe as baby gets older he’ll realize more time should pass.

Lol yeah finish school 👍👍

My daughter was born in July and I'm pregnant 😭 I'd rather just get it out the way than to have her out of diapers and start over. I start school in January so that's going to be interesting

My kids are 14 months apart and it's a struggle I would wait until lo is a lot older maybe 2-3 years old

Yea my son not even 2 months and he ready for a baby girl

I told him after I finish nursing school and work for a year then we can have one haha

Definitely! I think logically he understands we don’t need a second right now but he still wants one haha

Haha yeah I told him we need to wait 3 or so years

Hahaha these men wild 😅

As someone with two under two currently. Waaaait. 😅 My first baby was easy… this second one is not and my toddler is now a very feral toddler. It’s soo hard. I wouldnt trade them for anything but I tell everyone I know to wait if they can. Let that baby be an only baby for awhile! I have such terrible mom guilt all day long and I miss my first baby so much. I just don’t get to spend quality time with her anymore. 😩 I wish I would have waited another year.

I’m the one with baby fever already 😅 I feel like someone needs to lock me up but I know I definitely want more. I think it’s going to be really hard to wait at least a year before trying for our next one.

One and done… or not?

32ftm. I’m starting to feel so much pressure to have another baby soon as I wean from breastfeeding so they can be close in age and be friends, but I don’t feel ready for pregnancy and newborn trenches again 😭 my husband and I are all we’ve got. Having just one baby without a village has been really tough. Am I being unrealistic wanting another one soon?

I'm so not meant to be a mother.

My kids won't listen to me get into stuff when they know they aren't supposed to. Telling me no all the time. Only listen to their dad. Laughs when I correct them. I spend most of my time yelling at them because they don't want to listen to me at all. My husband said that I shouldn't have kids. And I am believing him on it. I was never meant to be a mother now. I won't hurt my kids I just want to disappear and make everyone else's lives better without me.

Baby #2??

I really want baby number 2 and am thinking of doing it via IUI as a solo mama!
Has anyone had any experiences with it 👀

Tests

So I had a blood test at the drs bc I keep getting positive tests when the blood test was negative what could this mean? Hubby says the tests are negative and said he can’t see anything. Negative image down below.

Am I pregnant?

I lightly spotted almost 5 days ago, which is not common for me before my period.
My period was supposed to come today. I should have tested in the morning but its 5:30pm.
Is there a second line??

Anyone have this happen before?

We were not trying to conceive, used protection and had sex on week 2 of my cycle (accidentally on my peak ovulation day). Week 3 we had Flu A. Week 4 my period did not come (it’s very regular). I tested and it was negative (2 different brands).
What should have been week 2 of my next cycle (now 6 weeks post last period), I had light red/ pink spotting for one day when I wiped. The following week, I tested again, still negative, but this time almost all the dye was in the negative space, which I’ve never seen happen before. The area where it shows one horizontal line for negative and a plus sign for positive, the horizontal line was super faded at the 3 minute mark, and the negative vertical line in the next window was VERY dark. Now I’m on week 8 of all this, period did not show up yesterday. Nothing in my life has changed (no additional stress, no other illness, no changes in diet or exercise, etc).

Has anyone gone through this and NOT been pregnant? I’m super nervous as we thought we were done having kids.

PS. I know I should go get a blood test, does anyone know if urgent care will do that? I’m past being convinced by a pee test.
