We're definitely having a #3, just having a hard time agreeing to when. I want one NOW lol, like NOW!! :)
DH wants to wait at least until next July, which is kinda what we've agreed on. I finally got him to break down and explain why he wants to wait so long - it's simply because he'll be done with his Masters then and thinks he'll have more time to spend with the kids. Of course I explained that doesn't make sense because after his Masters he's going on for his PhD, so unless we're willing to wait like another 3 or 4 years (which we're not!) it really doesn't matter when we have the third. So he said I was right and we can have another one whenever I want (yay!) Of course we're also thinking about taking the boys to Disney world next December, which would be really tough with an infant. So maybe waiting until July (or even later) is best after all. It's such a tough decision. I really want a vacation, but then I think - am I insane?? I'm choosing a vacation over a child??? I also want to lose at least 40 lbs before having another, but then I think - why bother, I'm just going to have to lose it all again after I have the third! |

Arianna, as far as b/f while pregnant, it's definitely possible but it's different for every woman. After I had my first I was originally planning on continuing to b/f during my next pregnancy. We started TTC when he was 5 months old, got preggo the first month trying. I noticed a small decrease in my milk production about 10 DPO, but nothing major. I did m/c only 3 days after my BFP. My OB then told me I should probably wean before we TTC again just in case. I know it's said that it's safe to b/f while preggo, but I was so scared about it - I mean, b/f uses a different set of hormones that's very anti-pregnancy. B/F causes high prolactin and low progesterone - pregnancy needs low prolactin and high progesterone to stick. So it made sense that it might cause a problem for some women.
I weaned DS at 7 months old and we started TTC again, got preggo on the third try with Parker. Some women b/f all through pregnancy and continue tandem nursing. You will notice a decrease in supply, could be right away or might not be until the third trimester, and your first baby might self-wean because the milk will taste different, and eventually will convert to colostrum. HTH! |

My cousin is in the hospital today haveing #2, and I want another one now!! As much as I complained about being pregnant and going through the birth, i want to do it again! We will probably wait 2 years, since we want to put a pool and addition on the house....but I can't believe how bad I want another one already! I was the one who kept saying I only wanted 1, now I want 4!! We'll see
