Feeling a bit low!


Was soooo excited that me & hubby have decided to try for a baby in approximately 2 weeks but now I'm not sure whether to hold off on the baby making a bit longer?!

I'm currently going to a weekly counselling session - to deal with issues that have happened to me in my past
( been going about 6 weeks now ) and I am finding it very emotionally, mentally & physically draining. Today i cried, i mean properly cried......felt such a muppet....but he said i was making good progress & the crying was a good thing to have happenened.......now i am questioning whether I should maybe wait a bit longer before trying for a baby & should i be just concentrating on getting myself sorted first?..... & the other issue is, that in my two previous pregancies i have piled on 4 stone & 3 stone ( quite big babies, but apparently my placenta's are enormous & weigh a fair amount! ) so thinking i would ideally like to lose some weight first, even if it's just half a stone....every bit counts!!!!

I so want a baby though...........oh!

What do you lovely girlies think?! xXx

Hey hon

I reckon if you've any doubt what harm will it do to wait a wee bit longer until you feel a bit stronger and have had chance to lose a bit more weight. You have another couple of weeks to decide too. What does OH think or have you not had chance to chat with him yet?
I'm glad the counselling is taking effect, sounds painful but that must mean that you are tackling and facing issues which is much better than holding them in and suppressing them.

I'm totally with you on the weight loss thing, altho i'd like to lose another 2 stone, the only good thing about this weather is that i've lost my appetite!

Hi there,
Well its a difficult decision 2 make ain ... ! I know when me n my hubby decided 2 try 4 another baby it was mixed feelings.
There is alot 2 think of. I think u should talk 2 ur OH n tell him ur thoughts as this may help u make up ur mind 4 u.
I wanted another baby but them I miscarried n it tk over my life a little 4 the next 6 months. I can now look bak n can say it was worth it, but if it hadn't have happened like this I'm not sure wot we would've done.
All the very best in wot eva u decide hun. Take care n good 2 hear the councilling is goin well. Good 4 u. xx

Thanks rach & mummyand2 x

My hubby wants another one as much as me.......... but he is also happy to wait for a month or two until I'm feeling a bit stronger, so basically will be fine either way.......so sounds like the decision is my choice!

I would ideally like to lose alot more than half a stone, in reality 3, but time isn't on my side as I'm 36!!! xXx

Thanks daughterofdarkness & lou x

You girls on here are all so lovely.

Lifes so short i think let's just go for it and see what happens.........but i am a born worrier!!!
Still have about a week or so to decide though! xXx
