Another Baby After Just Having One.

It sounds like, even if you had a girl, you would still have regrets. Rather than rush into having another child to fill a hole that no child can fill, have you considered counseling?

Not sure what you mean about your past, but slow down! your body needs to recover, it has been through a lot! I had the same feeling after I had my daughter, I wanted to be pregnant again right away!, I missed having a child grow inside me. Those feelings went away when she was about 3 months, they really take up your time as they get older! Wait until your baby is a year then try again (and make sure you are financially/emotionally ready!!) It is not fair to your little guy, you need to spend time with him and bond, if you are pregnant again, it will really take its toll! and you won't have the energy to take care of him(you may be tired and sick for the first 4-5 months!)
Everyone has trials in their life, it makes us stronger and the person you are! Keep a positive attitude about life and be thankful your what you have!!! and what will come:)

PLEASE just enjoy your baby. He loves YOU and has from the begining:) Show him love. Let your past be just that "the past". Have you thought about adoption?
Sorry , but you weren't very clear on your post.

I am not totally clear what the problem is. What does your husband think? I also want to remind you that there is no guarantee you would have a girl if you were to get pregnant again.

Speaking from personal experience, I totally loved the time I had with my first born before I had more. It was nice to have one on one experiences before I had to spread my time between other children. In other words, how about just focusing on what you do have, enjoy your little guy. All things come when they are supposed to.

Good luck.

You should not have another baby just to get a particular gender. You get what you get and need to see it as God giving you the gender he wants you to have. You could try reading materials to increase your chances of having a girl next time, but there are no guarantees. Just make sure you don't raise your son always thinking he was not wanted b/c you wanted a girl. Esp. if you have another boy, you need to be willing to accept either gender as a gift from God.

Are you disappointed that you had a boy? That is the impression that I get from your post. I have one of each and my husband and I say to each other every day that we are so happy that we got one of each. I grew up in a household of two daughters so (for some weird reason) I only thought of parenting for girls as I grew up. I'm still shocked that I actually had a son and he is almost two years old now. I am so thankful everyday that I was surprised! He is fun and funny and completely different from his sister in so many ways. Enjoy your son for a while and when the timing is right for your ENTIRE family try again. Good luck to you and yours with your decision!

Do you have plenty of money, plenty of time and LOTS of patience? Because you'll need all of those with two babies very close together. Also, what if you have another boy? Then will you need three babies close together? I don't understand your post, but I do know that having kids very close together is tough in many ways. Physically as well.

Discuss it with your partner first!!! My husband and I want to have 4 kids and we're currently pregnant with our second. Our son is almost 11 months, so when baby comes they'll be a year and a half apart. We wanted kids close in age, but got pregnant sooner than we had planned (we thought it would take a while to get pregnant, but nope). Enjoy your son now and appreciate all the milestones he will accomplish right before your eyes. They really do grow up fast! We want a girl as well, but whatever is in the cards we will happily accept. I told my husband we're not quitting til I get my girl. I know how you feel, but you need to have some patience, it's not easy but at least try. Biggest thing that I can emphasis to you is to be on the same page as your partner and focus on raising your son.

Good Luck to you and keep your head up!

just love your baby boy. I kind of hoped for a girl, but had 2 boys. A few years in, after watching my friends with girls, I realized I have strengths and weaknesses that probably make me more suited to take care of boys than girls. Give it some time. Don't rush into another pregnancy. There is no guarantee that you'd have a girl anyway.

I have 3 kids my son is the oldest I too thought I wanted a girl when I was pregnant and when I found it it wasn't that was fine I was excited to have whatever God sent me He was 3 yrs old when we had our 2nd a girl this time if I had a baby any closer I wouldn't of survived mommyhood I was diagnosed with PPD shortly after I had really bad panic attacks because I became my life wqs filled with worry about everything it wasn't fun till she was a little older I didn't get to enjoy her as much as I wanted to as a newborn she is 3 now when she was 18 months I became pregnant with our 3rd a girl still struggled with PPD but not as bad.When my daughter was 18 months old I thought how am I going to deal with this she'll just be over 2 yrs old but it was fine now my baby is 1 I don't want any more kids as of right now this is it for me it's something that everyone knows just like havign more kids but o time it the way you want to.You mentioned you just had a boy enjoy his infancy he has so much to learn grow and having his mama nurture him there is time to have more babies besides that it is good to wait at least a yr to get prenant againus woman are pregant for 9 months out of a yr then an additional 6 weeks postpartum to heal from our babies.As many will say were not guratnteed anything in life and for wanting a girl yes I to wanted a girl but am happy with what I have 1 boy and 2 girls and how it occured in my life.It's upto you rahter or not to get pregnant again but if your hurting because you didn't have a girl I would seek therapy and get some healing.

The Lord has your best interests at heart. He gave you this GIFT, a boy, for a reason. (0: Maybe he wanted your next children to have a protector! Show God that you appreciate his gifts. Like anyone else who would give you a gift, he wants to see that you enjoy the good things he gives you.

Be patient and wait on the Lord. Before you know it he will most likely bless you with another child. He knows what you can handle, so put it in his hands and while you pray for your next child, love this baby up and appreciate him.

You know, my most loving child is my boy. I would have thought the girls, but no, it is my boy who hugs me and kisses me and tells me what a great mommy I am all the time. He is so sensitive and warm. He shows me much respect and trys to please me. He still crawls onto my lap!

My family would not be the same if he were not here.)0:
