Q: want another baby

When I first joined this site I posted a thread about my boyfriend wanting a baby and me being totally against it.
Well time has passed and my boyfriend totally dropped the subject,he no longer talks about having another baby,I don't think he even thinks about it anymore.
And now I realize that I might want another baby,actually I really DO want another baby. Am I crazy for changing my mind so definately?
I was so against having another baby when my son was born and now it's like all I can think about is having another one. Somebody to dress,somebody to cuddle up with, and somebody for my son to grow up with. The bonds between siblings are strong,I never got along with mine but now that we are all grown up I realize that I would have missed having someone to go on bike rides with,I would have missed having someone to play fight with and talk to.

Somebody needs to tell me I'm not crazy....cuz I feel like I'm going nuts here!!

I'd say you were just overwhelmed when your son was born and thought "how can I handle two?!?"

No you are not crazy, I actually hope that's what happens to me, because I want at least 2 kids, but I don't know if I'll handle another one after this (first pregnancy).

Just bring it up. I'm sure he's been thinking about it, but not wanting to bring it up. I'm sure he'll be happy that you finally changed your mind.

Good Luck!

thanks...
I've been kinda day dreaming lately and I told myself that if I was still wanting a baby after 2 months of thinking about it then I would mention it to my boyfriend.
Well it's been two months and I still want a baby so I guess I should mention it and see if he's still up for it.If he's changed his mind then I'm SOL!

Maybe the memories of the post partum depression/psychosis have eased up now?

no...those memories will always be there.
but thanks for your concern...
If I do end up having another child I will rely more on my boyfriend.
With our first son I did everything myself,I turned down his offers for help,I guess I was one of those 'first time moms' that everybody rolls their eyes at.You know the ones that think 'if you don't do it yourself it isn't going to be done right'

your not crazy, things have probably settled down with your boyfriend and son and now the thought comes up every now and then. the same thing happened to my sister-in-law, she has two kids and after the second was born she didnt want to have any more and even wanted to get her tubes tied! but shes in her 30's and the doctor said shes too young to do that. and now after 3 years, shes thinking and also trying to have another one.
talk to your boyfriend about how you feel, and what you've been thinking of for the past few months now. just be open and honest Smile
