in my experience having 2 close together is hard work. my dd is now 6 weeks old and ,my ds is 15months. i fell pregnant with dd straight away as i got broody very quickly but said i wouldnt have anymore because i had a difficult birth with ds. but dp managed to talk me round and we just started trying. origionally i wanted a big family and wanted 8 children. but during labour i said never again. (that didnt last long lol). with dd the birth was easy but the pregnancy was causing me to be in and out of hossie as i had infections all the time. in labour i also got distressed because they told me she wasnt ready to come yet, but her heart rate dropped and the mw assumed the cord was round her neck. that really scared me because they rushed the docs in and said i needed an emergancy c sec.
then all was well and the scare was for nothing. i managed to push her out 4 hours later still in the water sack. they told me my waters wouldnt break on their own and they were right instead she was born in them.
having pre-eclampsia in my 1st preg made me worry the second time round especially with high protein and infections, but i loved being preg. for me the births were scarey but for dp the pregnancy is worrying. i dont want anymore because of my fear in pregnancy and labour on a whole, but i think that is selfish of me as dp wants more in 5 years. atm it is hard with a teething and tantruming toddler and a 6 week old who dont stop screaming, and having 2 hours broken sleep is tiring. but my kids are what make me smile everyday and do not regret having them close together, although it is hard work.
so maybe baby no3 will have to wait 5 years but that is something that i will have to think about

i've been reading into the implant that i was going to have fitted and i think i've changed my mind. it has loads of side effects,( weight gain, leaves a scar, depression, head aches). think i'll just stick to the condoms. also hopefully we might have an accident and get caught, he got no choice then, lol. sound evil don't i.

Slightly different situation but neither me or my df wanted kids,i was on the pill and feel pregnant by accident.

well my hubby said no more after the second child because we had a boy and a girl . . .and we've just had our 6th lol, so according to him we've had 4 "accidents". well they may have been "accidents" to him but planned by me tee hee
naughty naughtyhe'd kill me if he ever found out cos he thinks he's got super strong sperm lol
i am broody again already but i haven't said anything but i can't answer the question "is this the last one?" with a straight face xx
my hubby sulks for a few hours when he finds out i'm pregnant but then he's ok with it x

i have a dd whos 23 months and ds whos 7 weeks and this time its me thats broody!!!
the day after i had ds in 06 oh wanted another but i didnt yet ten on ds 1st birthday i cried eyes out and said ok will start trying! concieved there and then
this time though i wanted nother as soon as ds was born but i always said id wait til these 2 were in school and nusery like 1st post and oh said was fine wa sdoesnt want any past 30-hes 23 now. but then when i said i wanted another he said he didnt want any at all!!
he keeps changing his mind about having more i said if he doesnt ill leave may be ahrsh but i couldnt go on n not have any more-im 20 so alot of life yet for more lol
then we had it unprotected last week and the day after i was really wotried we may be caught as i know we are fertile lol he didnt say out so the next day i said it again and he sat down and asked me what we would do i said id keep it no way could get rid of!!
he said thats fine he would hate me to do that and then he started plannin the living arrangements and stuff and said he was getting all excited! he doesnt want to start trying for a few years but said if it happens it happens and i know if a gte a bfn in a couple of weeks he will be bit gutted lol so hopefully few years hell want more still.sorry to ramble just wanted to share coz men change there minds like we change are underwear there a nightmare! if it happend im sure your oh would be over the moon espec when seeing the scans and baby actually arriving.

I had 2 boys but still felt really broody but having ds2 I had really bad pre ecclampsia and was in a very bad way with it and he had to be delivered by emergency 5 weeks early docs warned it would most likly hapen again. Dh said that he didn't want me to take the risk of having another one and he was more than happy with 2 and didn't want any more well after a lot of persuasion we decided to have our 3rd and when I fell 1st month I was in shock and really worried about telling my parents after being so ill before but dh was on cloud nine he went out and bought baby grows and bibs for me and was so excited all the way through.
In the end I didn't get pre ecclampsia again and had a healthy pregnancy and had another little boy Scott on 25th July and Dh wouldn't be without him now and can't imagine what it would have been like without him. But says now thats it deff no more but we'll see.

i had 3 kids in 3 and a half yrs, and i recommend it to everyone. its so much easier having kids tclose in age. they were all at the same school for 4 yrs and are really close. hard work for the first yr but then was a doddle after that.

my other half didnt want any kids at all lol then after 2 mcs i finaly got a sticky bean he wasnt to impressed but came round to the idea,
he then was adament were not having anymore but.................when ds was 8 months old we got another sticky bean,i was more upset than him (id only been back at work 2 weeks oooooppps)he was abit peeved but when he found out it was twins but one had grew it wings he kinda realised what a little fighter this baby was,
he now loves being a daddy of 2,i do occasionally(when were having a bad day, no sleep and a tantruming toddler) he says i didnt even want kids! but most of the time he loves it and would never change it for the world.
i was addament and swore ds2 was my last but im broody already for a little girl,but not until we have brought a bigger house, so 3/5 years time darnt tell oh im broody and want more
he jokes if i fall pregnant again hes leaving,even my family have told me not to have any more,dont see what the problem, is other half works fulltime, we own our own home i did work full time and our house is nicely decorated and so far havnt been hit by the credit crunch and are not struggling

hey ladies, my lo is 6 weeks old now and i also have a 19 month old. in 3 years or so i would really like another, when my eldest has started infants and youngest nursery. the problem is hubby doesn't want any more. he has two boys from a previous relationship. mine are both girls and would love to try for a boy of my own (not bothered if i end up with another girl). i'm having the implant fitted tuesday cause would like a bigger gap than my other two. was just wondering if any of you ladies who have just had lo's, were your partners not wanting them at the beginning and fine with it now there here.

















After my partner and I had our first son together (had 4 from previous relationship) he wanted to wait till our son was 5 before we had another but he was 2yrs 4months when Jasmine came along. She was mean to be our last but over the months we both changed our minds about having another. He may soften over time.
