No more babies

I am 22 and have a 3 year old son and a babu girl who is 4 weeks old. I am loving being a mum to a small baby again but am finding myself feeling sad that I am no longer pregnant. When I was pregnant with my little girl me and my partner decided that we wouldnt have anymore children due to financial situation and we felt that as we would have one of each we would be happy. At the time because I was pregnant I agreed with my partner but now I find that im already feeling broody again. I have friends around me who are pregnant at the moment and im almost feeling jealous that they have their babies still cocooned inside them whereas I have to share my baby girl with the rest of the world now. Does that sound crazy?? I feel sad that I am only 22 but its highly unlikely I will ever get pregnant or give birth again. The labour and birth with my first baby was abit traumatic but with my second it was amazing and I feel like I would like to repeat that experience. And im missing my baby bump! As uncomfortable as it was towards to end of my pregnancy. I find myself sat on the sofa with my hands on my stomach trying to remember what it felt like to feel my baby inside. Has anyone else missed being pregnant soon after giving birth?

i know exactly what you mean, my baby is 6 weeks and i already want another one, i am lucky though my husband says we can in the future if we want to, i will wait about 5 years i think, i really wouldn't worry, enjoy your children now, then in a year or two if you still want more chat to your husband, i know we think men will never know how hard labour etc is but they find it hard in there own way and he is probably still in shock, give him and you time, time is on your side like me you are young so you can leave it a while, i feel guilty for missing being pregnant because i feel like i have what i want now and should be happy, which i am, but you know what i mean xxxx
