Missing being ā€œpregnantā€ is not a good reason to have a precious child (my opinion of course) There is SO much to considerā€‹:heavy_heart_exclamation::pray:t4:

Lol I have a 16yo and a 9yo, every time I get baby fever I ask my 16yo a question and either get an eye roll or smart ass answer, does the trick every time :joy::joy::joy:

Remember all the sleep you DONā€™T get :rofl::rofl::weary:

I snuggle my nephew (heā€™s 14 months) & get over it lol. I had my tubes tied after my 3rd baby so no going back now which is fine with me.

Day care for my son is $660 a month ($165 a week) not including the cost of diapers and baby supplies.

Be careful, Very, Very careful!!!

Yea after one I was like yup Iā€™m good , instead why not see where you live if thereā€™s a place you can volunteer with babies. This way you have your fill and go home with no more kids. Look at this link, unfortunately they need people the most

End up being a single mom to a baby who has so much energy he never wants to sleep

I got pregnant :person_tipping_hand::joy: but I did manage to deter it for 2 years by borrowing my friends babies occasionally.

I remember the wise words my sister gives me whenever I get baby fever. Her words of wisdom are, ā€œCmom, walk away from the baby, 18 to life girl! I KNOW the baby smells good, but 18 to life!ā€ LMAO

*Do you have any friends that have babies? If you do then volunteer to babysit a few days a week! It helps I know! And, another thing is volunteer to work in nursery at church a couple Sundays!

Iā€™m wondering the same cause I feel just to do that but my mind saying NOOOOO!!!

Simple. I hang out with my overactive 3 year old who donā€™t listen for shit while breastfeeding my 2 month old. Trying to juggle them both at the same time just reminds me why I need to take my birth control

Poop up the back. My son is 4 months old and today he peed and puked on me at the same time. On top of all this he pooped in the tub. Mom life is awesome

My friend talked about having baby fever and how she wanted another one. Then she met my daughter :joy::joy::joy: she said ok my baby fever is gone now

Also this helps cure baby fever :joy::joy:

You can come take my two out in public, youā€™ll never have baby fever againšŸ˜‚

I think about the fact that ill have less one on one time with my son and it helps. I want one more, but need to wait lol

I still get it and Iā€™m 46 with 5 kids my youngest is 15 but grand babies help

Iā€™m 40 and 38 weeks pregnant so Iā€™m not real sureā€¦ lol

I remember how hard the newborn phase was and thenā€¦ thatā€™s it

I had it for a week and ended up accidentally pregnant :joy: not disappointed at all

Waking every 2 hours :sleeping::sleeping::sleeping: wouldnā€™t trade it for the world though!

Do nursery at church or babysit for a friend.

Sit down and make a list of pros and cons of having a bsby

Yep! But Iā€™m too old. (48). My baby factory is closed and out of business and thereā€™s a big fat guy sitting in front of the door!

Make a lust of the things you like to do and come a list to what needs to be done with a baby. Make a list if what it would cost to have a baby. Do you have the time and the heart to take care of a baby 24/7. Start helping out at church in the nursery. Maybe babysit get some experience with babies and children.Think it out.

Go hang out with someone with a baby and change a couple diapers.

Lol have another! We now have three. 2 boys 10 and 9 years old and a 9 month old daughter. All done now feeling is gone our family is complete
