"Are you planning to have another soon?"

If you were wondering how long it takes before you start hearing that question all the time, IME 9.5 months.

To make you feel my love.

Re: "Are you planning to have another soon?"

  • My answer was always "we'll have to wait and see I guess." If someone insisted on telling me that we should have another one is tell them it was their turn, regardless of that person's age.

  • I heard it while still out on maternity leave. my answer was always the same. Let me heal from this one first and DH and I will talk about it and decide if/when the time was right. In my case the time apparently was right with my first cycle after weaning DS and before DH and I talked about it much.. lol

    Speak sweetly so that if you ever have to eat your words, they don't taste bad.

  • They are just asking so that they can judge you. hah!

  • Ummmm, my doc asked me as he was stitching me up. I have no interest in having a baby any time soon. One baby at a time, I say.

  • As we were walking out of the hospital, one of the nurses said "see you in 9 months"...Then she went on and on about how nobody follows the 6 week rule. Way to promote not following proper post partum healing rules...DH chimed up and said we were going to be waiting at least two years. We want to enjoy the one we have now. :)

  • omg we heard it a lot in the beginning. However, I feel like once people know about this one, they are going to wonder if it was an oops. Although, I was pretty clear to everyone who asked that if it were up to DH, we would have had a second very quickly, lol.

    @MRads, this pretty much guarantees you are going to have multiples the next time, haha.

    Funny though, when I delivered the nurse said "see you back around this time next year".

  • People asked while we were IN THE HOSPITAL. No joke. 

    I am honest and say that we haven't decided yet.

    People say this to me all the time. Um, yeah, we'll probably be done, but that has nothing to do with expecting one of each sex.
