How did you know?

This question is for the mamas who have a baby or child and are either TTC again or have more children. My husband and I are ridiculously happy with our son and we now know that we definitely want more kids. We had thought before that we'd try to space them out by about 2 years or so. It seemed like a pretty good amount of time to have between them. My question is, when thinking about plans to conceive again, did you just have a sort of "Aha!" moment when you decided that yes, you were definitely ready for another? Did you decide that you wanted to try for another but were slightly apprehensive? Were you absolutely terrified but figured, hey, why not? I have probably felt most of theses things at some point or another but I just wondered if the decision was easy for everyone. Thanks ladies!

Well we always said that we wanted them close together. When Gav was 6 months I took a pregnancy test and it was positive, we were kind of in shock but excited at the same time. It turned out to be a false positive and we were crushed. So for us that just went to show how ready we really were to TTC!

Well with this last pregnancy we just started TTC one day no big discussion or anythng we were just ready for #2 and now we are talking about baby #3 and thinking we want to start when our baby is a year old.

I just guess we kind of knew ! We knew we wanted more and that we were ready. My daughter is 19 months old and will be a 2 years and a few months when the 2nd baby is born   Good luck with your decision.

before we started to TTC or second we talked about how many we wanted and how far apart we wanted them. we decided about 3yrs apart was perfect. we decided to start trying around our sons 2nd birthday. took us 4 months to ttc and we were preggo and now both our boys are 35months apart to the day.  .

i dunno about when we're gonna TTC our 3rd..still up in the air.

I def want more kids and I want them close. But my boyfriend is not ready for another one for atleast about another 5 years.  

I didn't plan my 2nd child. She just kinda happened.   But my 3rd child, I was with a different man than my other kids' father and we just brought it up one day. I wanted another kid and he wanted a kid. So we started trying and 3 months later I found out I was pregnant  

We just sorta figured we'd start trying again sometime after Hunter's first birthday. We've been sort of doing the "not trying, but not preventing" thing as of late but waiting for the sign that I'm not is driving me crazy. Some days I would be thrilled if I was and others I feel as though there are 500 things I want to do before we have another (though I have no idea what those things would be). I guess I'm just a little out of sorts lately.

After we got preggo with the first, we knew that we didn't want her to be an only child... & due to my age (35 at the time)... we knew that we didn't want to wait, too long... but wanted to have a summer baby, so I could stay home longer (am a teacher)...

My husband & I said 2 years too....my son turned 8 months today, so we were saying we would start in December so there would be 23 months difference (assuming we'd get pregnant right away). BUT we were talking about starting when he was 9 months old to have them either 18 months apart or at least give time to conceive. We were married 6 months & 11 days (having sex for 6 months & 11 days) before we conceived our son...however, we were trying NOT to get pregnant lol. I think we'll know when the time is right...whether it's next month or not until December. Just wait, you'll know.

We talked about having another in 3 years.....but then God disagreed and BAM I am 9 weeks pregnant and my son is almost 7 mths old lol.

I didn't get any urges for more until around Valentines day (Hailey was 8 months old).. I had baby fever for a few months.. but now its kinda went away..

I still want another daughter.. But somehow have made peace with "if it happens, it happens...if not then thats okay cause its just more love to share with my daughter". I dropped the BC in March..but we aren't actively "Trying".. Just not preventing and if it happens, it happens.
