It isn't easy for me!

This morning I saw this couple with a new baby. I was a bit surprised because the last time I saw them they also had a new baby. I think they have three or four children now and in such a short time. It made me wonder, how come it's so easy for them to produce babies when they don't have enough to provide for their children? Why couldn't I get pregnant that easy when I have the money and so much love to give to another baby? My son is already 7 and in March next year he'll be tuning 8! I would love to have another daughter soon but I never went to my doctor as my husband and I are both young and we both believe we are healthy and so capable of having another child. We are not in a hurry but I'm really ready to get pregnant again. I haven't been using any contraceptives for 5 years and yet I don't get pregnant at all. There must be a greater reason why we are not blessed yet with another child and I'm not worried. In His time it would come perfectly!

It would be amazing if you had a daughter! Your son is so gorgeous, and with your good looks your daughter would be a wee stunner! You could get her her own red shoes.. Maybe it isn’t meant to be though? So women cannot have children, at all. And the fact you have been blessed with a child at all is a miracle in this day and age, with how many people spend their lives yearning for children and going through all sorts of I.V.F and other fertility treatments to try and conceive! .. but have you been to the doctor and been tested? You and your husband both? .. I have heard before that having a child, can cause fertility problems for future children, so the fact you have had one child, doesn’t mean it has maybe stopped you from having more. I do believe our lives are mapped out for us though, and maybe it just isn’t the right time now? But I can understand how seeing a new baby can make you broody and wanting children. It often happens to me, and I am in a far worse position if I ever want to have kids, because obviously it couldn’t happen between my partner and I lol!

Well you can always agree who goes to the fertility bank! Yeah me and my husband have come to accept the what ifs.. we both think that maybe it isn't the proper time yet. In God's time we will. I don't want too much pressure by going to the doctor and have ourselves checked. Maybe when we're that desperate enough we would. AS of the moment we are just enjoying our time together and if i conceive that would be a great blessing.

well i certainly will keep you in my thoughts where that is concerned. haha, fertility bank? it would be me having the baby. my partners pain threshold is very very low and she gets really paniced when she's not well etc, so i don't think she'd be the best person lol!

Dear friend Tony, I think that in a couple, there is no one thing more beautiful than the birth of a child.

Yes of course. And wanting to have another is good but we have been trying and so far it's not working.

Hi Toni! It is mainly in God's hands that when a couple blessed with a child. Many a times couples keep trying and they do not succeed. On the other hand sometimes, those who try least or forget to use any contraceptive any particular day or days get pregnant. Though, it is entirely your personal matter, yet I would say that if you are mentally prepared for the second baby, there is no harm in consulting a specialist Doctor. My best wishes are always with you.

Why not have a long vacation together where you two are relaxed and not tired. My teacher in college have told us that when one is tired while doing it, it would be really hard to make it. Because it's tired as well and can't get it there. (I don't know if I can mention it here). He also gave example like in poor family where both partner don't have a job, they can make babies easily because they are not tired and everytime they do it was always shoot. And in rich family or where the partner have a job they only blessed with few children. Because the one to reach the egg can't get there because it was tired as well.

We are not that tired at all. I stay in the house during the weekdays and i have classes online. It doesn't tire me physically at all. My husband isn't working yet thus, there's no reason for him to be physically tired as well.

There is a difference between wanting to be pregnant and wanting children. If you really want children, the former is not the pressing concern. There are thousands of children in this nation who need good homes; they are in the system, waiting for the day that either someone adopts them and provides them with a forever home... or they age out of the system without ever having been part of a loving family--left to face adulthood without that foundation.

Of course there is a big difference between wanting your own children and wanting children. And i'm not talking about the latter. To be honest i don't want to take care of kids that are not my own. I have had a bad experience before. My father took a boy home to give him a loving home but in exchanged he gave us a heartache. If God won't give me another child then i'm fine with my own son.

Don't be so worried about getting pregnant again, it's good that you have a child already. How does a wife feel if she can't even bear a child? So, be happy and contented with what you have, sometimes we really do not understand why can't we have things that other people have. Being content is being happy.

Not saying i'm not contented. I can accept if i'm not given another one. I already have a son. But who wouldn't want to wish for another child when you know you are most capable of being a good parent and can provide financially than those who aren't? Some parents abuse their children and they have a lot. I wish they were not given children at all.

calm your friend seems to be afraid dsota seeing their new baby to these people. sometimes happens when you want something strong to get it immediately. I understand that you want to have another baby girl, and you sincerely want it. but hurry because perhaps not yet ripe. Have a nice day peaceful and everything will fall into place.

@nezavisima, i don't seem to get what you mean with your first sentence. She's not my friend. I am not in a hurry now and i if i would be blessed i would be thankful. If not then i already have a son. But i can't help to long for a daughter and wonder why others who have less in life can have so many when they don't even wish for more children.

I just find it ironic that people who have less in life and don't want to have children anymore and blessed with so many children.
