Anyone Here Want Kids or Trying to Conceive?

Post Reply New Topic

I already agreed with my partner, that if we get a boy, he is allowed to name him Lars, after Lars-Ullrich from Metallica. ^^ As long as its only Lars and not Lars-Ullrich, I am ok with it, because we are Austrians and speak german, and the name Lars is actual not very common here, but known from older historic books. and from nothern germany and scnadinavia, so people wont ask all the time how to spell it. By accident my partner and I have both known but actual not very common names, and we always thought ourselves, that it was really cool, that whenever you heard someone yell your name, you knew, that you were meant and not half a dozend other persons with the same name.

If we will get a girl, I want a similar name, but right now I dont have one. I have read about the chances to loose babies during the first weeks, and how very often that can happen, so I dont want to give a baby a name and a face to recognize it, as long as its existence isnt a bit more saver. 50 years ago, it was around here custom not to think about names, until the child arrived. I also dont want to tell my partner in the first 8 weeks, because right now he is so in a babyfever, and I think it would break his heart if he knew about the ratios.

Because of your hormone troubles: Maybe you could also try to avoid common flesh. Animals in normal flesh industry get boosted with hormones too, so they grow faster and larger. Organic flesh will be hard to afford for you, but as far as I know I think industrial chicken flesh contents the most of hormones, so maybe try at least to avoid that.

I have two kids ages 7 and 4. With my first progesterone was a problem and I nearly lost him(he has low functioning autism). I had what I estimate to be three miscarriages very early. sometimes you can do progesterone cream but you might want to read about it.

My second pregnancy went fine and my daughter has no issues aside from her disruptive behavior disorder.

Oh I want kids more than anything! Got the husband, now all we need is to be financially stable. Honestly I cannot wait, I love kids. I think I'll be a better wife once I'm pregnant. (Though he thinks I can't get better and pats my head when I make such comments)

Former_hermit: Congrats! It'll be here before you know it! Enjoy it too, the day goes by so quickly!

Schneekugel: I'm starting to eat super-healthy, though haven't gotten into organics yet. Basically, each month that goes by without my getting pregnant I try to make one more adjustment/add something else that month to help with the equation. This month it's the Fertilitea, last month it was green smoothies (I think I"ve lost 2-4 pounds from those), the month before that evening primrose oil.... I think August (O please don't let there be an august) will have to be exercising regularly... but I'm just not that good at that. Especially not long-term. And unless there's medical reasons not to (such as the soy) I don't stop something once it's "trying to conceive routine". So... we'll see.

Also, Lars is a cool name


Kate123A: I have been looking into progesterone cream. I'm hoping the herbs can take care of the imbalance, so I don't have to do that- as progesterone cream is generally expensive, and also not very good for tracking how much progesterone it gives you.

Glad your babies are ok! Are you trying for a third?

CheredIsTyping: That is so cute! I actually read your comment to my hubby and he said he's going to start doing that to me. :-p. Do you have an approxomite time-table for when you guys will start trying?

Nope, you're not the only one.

I got knocked up when I was 23. Hubby was 20. We kept the baby, and it took me about 2 seconds to realize that "MOM" was the only thing I ever really wanted to be.

Now we have 4.

Now that I'm not all uptight about acting normal and making sure they do too, they are the light and joy of my life once again. Except when I'm sitting on the front porch crushing the filter on a cigarette calling through my short list of friends and relatives praying someone will answer the phone 'cause I'm 2 millimeters from meltdown mode and I can feel the palms of my hands itching with the need to smack somebody.

That's what the Internet, the telephone, the playpen, and "GO TO YOUR ROOM RIGHT NOW!! !!" are for. Because-- Guess what-- NT moms have those moments too. They're just better at hiding it until it goes away.

Have the damn meltdown. Just-- have it on the porch with a cigarette in your hand (or your personal equivalent thereof). Have it in the bathroom while the kid is contained in a babyproof room or PackNPlay or something. DO NOT have it in the middle of the grocery store with your kid's neck in your hand (and yes, I have pushed grocery carts up to the cash register, blurted "Watch this!" and hauled my kids out of the store while snarling profanities under my breath before; yes, I'm still welcome to shop there, and the cashiers are still friendly).

Actually, I've seen other parents applaud when I do it...

...which I suspect is because a constantly happy, always-calm-and-smiling mother is such an unnatural animal that she cannot possibly raise well-adjusted and realistic children.

No, you are not the only autie who wants kids.

And yes, if you can manage to keep yourself sanitary, make edible food, keep a sanitary house, and keep from harming yourself in front of others, that probably implies that you have all the skills necessary to do just fine.

I gave birth to one child and am currently gestating my second.

I will probably hang a "No Vacancy" sign on my uterus after that, though.

Reduced now completly all kind of drugs I was common too. So the rare cigarettes I smoked, when meeting friends in the evening, or the glass of beer I had 1-2 times a week are not the problem, but goddamn I want my ... (The stuff that is in green or black tea, you can compare with coffeine in coffe or cola.) I already reduced it to a big amount, when I was in therapy about depression, and only had my 15:00-16:00 tea left, but that I spare now as well, and now I am really tired in the afternoon, but need to work until 19:00 - 20:00. If I could do some sports, it would help me as well, but I hardly can do sports during work. Wouldnt have thought how much missing my tea, would suck. XD

Definitely! I would like at least three of them after I finally get around to getting married after college. It might be a bit tricky due to endometriosis, but I'm on birth control to perserve my fertility and I'll need to definitely adjust some of my medication to avoid birth defects too.

I really want to name my firstborn son Cecilius...

Buyerbeware: As far back as I can remember I've known I wanted to be a mom. But now with my not being able to hold a job, and diagnosis, everyone around me says I shouldn't. it's so frustrating! Well, there is one very important person that does want me/us to have a kid- that being my hubby! So I try not to think about the others too much. but it's good to know I'm not the only one for sure

Velociorapture: Haha! Well congrats on #2 then! Do you know if it's a boy or girl?

Schneekugel: I really reccomend the Fertilitea. It's got a great taste, and I think it's pretty good. will see in a week or so.

slovaksiren: I hope you don't have too hard of a time conceiving when you do try! Infertility sucks! I am not officially infertile yet, but I have been trying for 5 months... and the not-knowing if it's going to work or not sucks!

I want to be a (single) mum. But now the is not the right time in my life to become a mother, but hopefully in a few years. Yes, I'd love to have a kid or more kids.

YoshiPikachu: fx for your girl! Can't believe it's been two months already... and still no baby. trying to conceive makes the time crawl and fly all at the same time.


loveturn: wow! that's so great/brave that you aren't afraid of taking on parenting alone. Hope you're able to get your kids when you want them

I had my daughter 21 years ago, I would've loved the chance to be a Mum again but I don't think it's gonna happen now.
