DISCLAIMER: THIS POST IS NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART. I DELVE INTO FEMALE TOPICS. I DON'T CENSOR MYSELF. THERE MAY EVEN BE PICTURES. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
So my Aunt Flo came back today. I went to the bathroom at work, pulled down my pants, sat on the toilet, and there she was. Bloody splatters all over my white underwear! I swear, I'm back in elementary school. [Yes friends, I was the unfortunate one who got her monthly visit at the ripe age of 10]. It totally sucks! I wasNOT happy about it. I actually came out from the bathroom/office [where I was about to pump] and complained LOUDLY to my coworkers and a few customers. lol
I kinda look at it this way. And I'm probably wrong... but.
When you're pregnant, you can't get pregnant again. Once baby is born, you bleed to get rid of stuff but typically AF stays away. In some freak cases [more normal than not], women can get pregnant right away. But for the most part, as long as you're EBF you don't have a period and therefore probably don't ovulate. At some point you do and you have your period again. Maybe this is God's way of saying, "Your body isn't ready for another baby yet. Once AF comes, you are."
*shrugs* So maybe God is giving me the go-ahead to have another child, risk free!? lol...just go with it people.
But I just love my bugsy so much, I couldn't possibly try to have another one yet. I must wait!! At least 2 years, so I can spoil the crap outta my munchkin!
ehhhhhhhh....no.
ReplyDeleteI know people have a lot of theories about child spacing, but I for one think that just because you CAN do something, doesn't mean you SHOULD. *This applies to a lot of things, not just babies.)
I mean, technically if you got your period at the age of 10 you could've had a baby then. Wise to do so? absolutely not! LOL So just because your body is once again capable, I wouldn't.
Pregnancy leeches a lot of your vitamin stores and you need to build those back up before you get pregnant again. And, the hormones of pregnancy will probably put a dent in your milk supply. If Austin were over a year, that wouldn't be much of an issue, but seeing as though your milk is still his only food supply, it would be detrimental.
And man girl, you didn't have much of a honeymoon period with Charlie. The morning sickness started pretty quickly, and then the other joys of pregnancy kicked in. So yea, enjoy the next 2 years without the pressure of another baby. Get fit. Have some worry-free sex and romance. Get back to 8+ hours of sleep again. And give your body a chance to rebuild itself.
THEN when you feel its the right time, give 'er a try! Because you make beautiful babies!
lol. i was TOTALLY joking about having another! i can't imagine having another now. uhhhhhh how bout HELLZ NO. lol. i was merely processing how it must've worked before birth control..you know like little house on the prairie style! lol
