I already want another baby
I know they say mums forget the pain of having a baby very quickly and what not.
I remember the surgery and I remember how miserable I was toward the end (not because I was pregnant but because I’m 5ft tall and was carrying two babies around, I was so uncomfortable) and I spent most of my pregnancy saying how lucky I was to have a boy and a girl so I didn’t have to be pregnant again. I even jumped on the band wagon when my partners mum told (trying to force) him to get a vasectomy.
My twins are now 2 months old and I’m already thinking that I’d love another baby. Not now or anytime soon but in a few years or so.
Is it just because everyone is telling my partner he needs a vasectomy?
Is it strange to want another one so soon?
Am I right to be concerned it would be another multiple pregnancy?

Everyone needs to keep their noses out of business that isn’t there. 2 months after babies is absolutely not the time to be making those decisions as there’s so many hormones involved. Definitely give it a good while longer before committing to any permenant options
Yes. Once you’ve had one set of multiples there’s a HUGE increased risk there will be a further set of multiples
I remember 4 months after my first I really wanted another there and then. It definitly subsided after a few weeks (although I knew we weren’t done.
I’ve not had that urge this time so I know we are a million percent done now the twins are here and hubby is having a vasectomy!
my partners mum response to us announcing the pregnancy was “well are you getting a vasectomy” 🙄🙄
I have said no more after 35 but I’d like at least one more!
After I had my first daughter, I knew I wanted another baby near enough straight away. We had our second daughter two and half years later . I still felt our family wasn’t complete, I always thought we would add another or two but it never seemed to happen/never the right time and then my dad died and we found out I was pregnant, it was really strange. Sadly we lost that baby but then about about A year later we found out we were expecting again and it was twins x our twins are 15 months old and the older two are 15 and 12 years old . Sorry for the long blurb but you will know what is right xx I never thought the broodiness would go away but after a stressful pregnancy with the twins and their dramatic arrival I know I’m done and the broodiness has gone xx wishing you luck xx
I felt the same shortly after having my sons, and then again when their brother was little, and then again when their sister was born, now I am pregnant again and I really struggle during pregnancy I definitely feel that this is our last baby. I don’t know if I would feel different if my pregnancies were easier, but I definitely think you do you and don’t listen to anyone else! I would have loved to have twins again but it hasn’t happened, you only have 8% chance of having them again after all (DCDA, not sure about the other types, but that’s even less than 8%) good luck with whatever you and your husband will do xx
my twins were DCDA so that 8% figure is looking pretty good to me. I’m from a big family and never wanted a big family myself but I think one more baby would finish our family off quite nicely I think!
