I had my DS at 25 (and DH was 24) and we were so happy we did it because we were both young and had so much energy 24/7! Also I was able to lose my 46 pregnancy pounds so easily without extreme diet/exercise. I was back to my normal petite figure just after 6 weeks (without breastfeeding...it didn't work for me), and I think it was because I was young. Now that our DS has just turned 7 and we talk about having another...but I'm 32 and I have gone through some health issues (thyroid), and so I'm so afraid of the big change....Our friends/family are very encouraging us because of the fact that we are still so young.....But we are so used to our life with one child (emotionally and financially), I'm afraid of the big change.... |

You know, I thought things would be easier having my first baby in my 20s...and my pregnancy actually CAUSED a thyroid problem  I lost weight pretty quickly at the beginning (though my cute figure will NEVER return due to a malshaped pelvis on a petite frame - it's nothing but one piece bathing suits for me from now on to hide a hideously ugly gut!), but it turns out that was because my thyroid had gone into overdrive after my daughter was born. Then it swung wildly the other direction and I put on 15 lbs. I now have to really work on diet and exercise to make sure I keep weight off - it has not been easy to lose and then maintain my weight. And I'm now on meds for the rest of my life, which apparently only happens in some ridiculously small percentage of women. Aren't I lucky? BLAH!
Of course I love my daughter, but the question "Isn't it all worth it?" is NOT one I care to answer... |
