I had the Implant put in, in December. It doesn't expire until December 2027 but I'm already itching for another! However I'd like us to get married ideally before our 2nd so that (hopefully) might give me more incentive to hold off haha
i really want another, we already have 2 under 2, unplanned and 15 months apart and i’ve absolutely loved it and wanted to get pregnant again when my little girl was 6 months old so they have the same age gap. my husband has said no more kids though so i’m back on the jab😥
@Kayleigh how did you find pregnancy looking after a young baby, if you don’t mind me asking? I’m terrified because my baby is still so dependent and I can’t imagine having to carry him and bend down and constantly interacting him while nauseous, in pain, etc.
@Levi to be honest i didn’t find it too bad, i’d already got my son sleeping in his cot but was doing odd contact naps here and there, i also sleep trained him at about 1 to prepare for his sister as i knew i wouldn’t be able to rock him especially for naps. the bending over i didn’t find too bad until probably the last couple of weeks i’d say abs the pregnancy flew by so much quicker than my first because i was so busy!
I've had 2 under 2. It was a 19 month gap and honestly it was an awful decision for us. Our June baby had a really rough start - allergies, feeding aversion, colic, 8 wake ups a night. It can't be predicted what kind of baby you're going to have and I imagine it could have been very different but a toddler requires a lot of attention and having a tricky baby makes that juggle feel impossible. I wish I'd had another 6 months between them. Having said that, it's amazing now and my boys are best friends and play together but the first 4 months were the worst of my life.
Literally trying next year 🤩 I’m too eager to wait though but I will most certainly hold on 😩🤞🏻
Yes, I’ve wanted another one since my first was born but I talk myself out of it daily haha we’re planning on trying between June and September but even then I know it’s probably too early 🙈
