I went through exactly the same thing when my babies were around 8 or 9 months!  With my first, it translated into a second baby, the second time I managed to convince myself that it really was a bad time for me and eventually the desire went away.  I wonder if it's a hormone thing or just a stage where the baby you had is almost a toddler and you miss having a baby around.

My advice would be not to do anything without your partner on board, and just to consider if a new baby would really be the right thing for your family right now.  If your partner's on board and its right for your family, then go for it!  Have fun!

you want another because you like being a mum it's that simple, go for it sweetie, 2 is more fun in fact the more the merrier... dont do anything without consulting your partner first though, he might get a bit annoyed at you for that eep... just let him warm up to the idea and you'll be right hey... good luck

No, you are not insane...!!! I think it's lovely how want another one.  I was told that I was insane because as soon as I had my first, I was asked if I would have another one, and I said yes straight away!!! Now I have four boys and am pregnant with my fifth baby!!! Wasn't expecting to have another one, but it's a welcome surprise!!! If you really feel strongly about having another baby, talk to your partner about it, you don't know, he might actually feel the same way!!! Good luck!!!

You are not insane for wanting another baby, I wouldn't recommend removing the IUD without telling your partner men seem to react badly if they feel they are tricked into parenthood....go figure.....seriously if you want another child be upfront and discuss it. Having littlies isnt always easy if it were men (sorry guys couldnt resist) would be having them but they are a joy and they are rewarding. At 46 and having had the incubator removed from the playground when I was 26 there have been times when I have yearned for the option of having another baby now I have to wait for my daughter who is currently pregnant with my first grandchild and cooking it rather slowly, Im sure my pregnancies went faster than this one....still I believe its a natural phenomen women go through when their bodies realise that the last one (baby) is at an age when another would be nurtured until ready for delivery. So you are not insane my friend you are being perfectly womanely and motherly.

no your not. i have a 10month old, and lately i have been wanting to have more. i want a big family, but i dont think my other half wants more.

I don't think you are insane at all
I think maternal urges can take over
look at me 42 years old and I fantasise about having another baby (by IVF tho cos I'm sorry but no man ever going to get close to me again) just so I can keep baby with me and not have to share with anyone
Pretty selfish I know and I won't be acting on it
I don't think you are nuts or evil, you aren't acting on your fantasy you're just admitting to the urges, lots of us consider many wild and crazy things that are totally unrealistic, however if you really do want another baby, sit and talk to your partner first, is he going to be around for any children you have together? Can you cope either way? Is it in the best interests of both you and your child to have another baby in the home?
I think you are just a regular woman that enjoys motherhood and all its aspects of it

u r definatly not insane my little girl is comin up to 14 months now and i cannot stop thinkin about havin another baby that it s drivin me mad especially as my friend is due her baby any time soon which makes me even broodier.i keep going through my little girl s baby photos .

Hi everyone!
A little more back ground... Lily's dad lives in Toronto, I'm in Halifax. He never wanted kids, Lily was a suprise. I know I could never get him to agree on having another baby. It's so frustrating, I never thought I'd have kids, and now I've got one and I just want a whole bunch more running around!

i have a 10 month old son and i am also 14 weeks pregnant, this baby wasnt planned andi i am worried that i wont be able to give Luke all the attention he is used too, i also have 2 older children 14 and 11, i know that i have a lot of family support and the huibby is fab but its a mum thing to worry about this, but i feel that i feel pregnant too early although we had talked about having another baby, if this is what you really want to do please what ever you do dont have your IDU removed without talking with your partner first he may end up resenting the child and you also, if this is not what you both want then wait untill the time is right.

Good luck chick :)

hey

ur not insane i am married 4 the 2nd time but i can not have kids to my new hubby as i have had a total hystercomy.

i say if u want to have another go 4 it don't worry wat any1 says.

Im in the same boat. My heart tells me that I would love to try for a girl, and my fiance nags me on a daily basis about how much he would love one too.

The problem is we already have 4 kids, so my mind is telling me not to for obvious reasons. (money, space etc) I just cant help but get clucky though and I miss being pregnant. I think Im the insane one lol

i have 6 children and straight after my sixth i felt like i wanted another OMG but of cause i new better, anyways no your not insane it is only natural and your baby is 10months old so its not like you just had her, my first baby was 5 months old when i became pregnant with our second and i would have fallen pregnant with my second when my first was 2 months old if i had my way lol (she was fully breastfed so it just didn't happen until i introduced sloids), so don't worry your not evil but i wouldn't recomend takeing your i.u.d out without telling your partner first, maybie just work on him a little, show him how great you cope with the one you have and wate on your partner and make him feel really special hehehe (thats what i do anyway to convince hubby we should have another hehehehe, the power of persuation, but i have to say my husband is not that hard to convince as he loves haveing a big family)anyway good luck and no your not crazy just very maternal

I TOTALLY understand! I feel the same way. But mine is only 4 months. If you want another baby, go for it. Lots of people have children close in age. Whatever makes you happy is what I say!!
