The desire for number 2 finally hit me like a ton of bricks

[Anonymous]

I'm the poster with a child who has SN and it took me a loooong time to be ready to TTC. I watched many friends go on to have more kids and I didn't envy them at all...I wasn't ready. Not after what I have been through. Now...I'm ready....soooooo ready and I'm just flooded with the desire and the sadness seeing other families where the parents are done and wow..I never thought I would feel like this. Vent over...

I am in the same boat. Have been struggling with this for several months and decided to go for it. After 3 IUIs, finally got pregnant, but it ended in miscarriage. I was absolutely devasted. Not sure if I am willing ot go thru all that again.

Sympathy, OP.
Our first child worried us so much (SN, too) but now after 5 years we are happy to have a healthy DC2.
Good luck!

OP here-thanks so much for the responses!

12:21- I am so sorry. It's hearbreaking.I'm sending babydust and good luck your way if you decide to try again.

13:01 Thank you. You gave me such hope. It has been emotionally so hard going through everything we went through with our child with SN from the difficult pregnancy and bedrest to the NICU to the delays, but I am happy to report DC is doing really well-though still ups and downs. I feel this loss of innocence. I can't imagine enjoying a pregnancy and not being stressed out about milestones, but I'll take it day by day and first just try to enjoy making a baby
