baby or CRAZY
me & hubby have been together for 12 years. we have 2 kids are first was in 02 are son and then are daughter in 05. at that time we also had custody of his son since he was 5. he has always lived with us and when and vistited his mom when she gave a *** about him. step-son is now 16 and decided 13 days before are wedding he was going to runaway and live with his mom. there is alot of other stuff that lead up to that day. to much to type.
soooooooooooooooooooooooo i have had an IUD for about 2.5 years im turning 31 and have been thinking about another baby. my son is 9 and daughter is 5(turning 6) do i want to start all over again or is this just a faze ????? i like my freedom, kids are in full day school and its easy to get a sitter for older kids when needed ???? so many things tell me NO i am nuts DONT DO IT but them when i think about it i just think of a million resons to do it
am i crazy !!!!!!!
i also need to add that after both preg i gained ALOT weight, after my 2nd i went hard core diet and lost 80 pounds with that came alot of extra loose skin so i had a tummy tuck in 06. im afraid that my stomach wont stretch enough to carry another baby.
Re: baby or CRAZY
What does your H say about another baby? If it's something you both want, then go for it. As for the tummy tuck, I would ask your doctor about that. I have no idea or advice to give.
I know I have the baby bug BAD right now. We're just in a whatever happens, happens kinda mode. And after September, if we're not KU then we'll start actively trying.
GL!
I, personally, feel as though this says it all right here. I'm sure you know better than any of us (having been through this before) what to expect and the sacrifices involved. Since your kids are now in school it does allow you to have more freedom, so if you're not ready to give that up again, I'd say wait. But then again, this is coming from someone without and not ready for kids just yet.. what are your reasons in favor of having another?
As far as your concern for your skin stretching, I would talk to your plastic surgeon or OBGYN/PCP about this. I'm sure they've dealt with this before and it's still possible.

Did I miss the part where you gave a good reason for having the baby?
I only saw the cons.
