Yup!!! Last month I was convinced I was pregnant, even though I'm on the pill. I was half excited, half terrified. Then of course I get my period exactly on track :) But we talk about it alllll the time, especially since we'd like to start trying in the next 4-6 months or so, so that doesn't help my baby fever!
Oh yes. I think I've had a bad case of baby fever since I was 16. LOL!
We're not really ready yet (we'd like to be married and saving money first). However, it sure doesn't help that my FI will sometimes say things like "You're going to be the cutest/hotest pregnant wife EVER" or "I can't wait until your pregnant".
Men.
My baby fever is coming back. I got all excited when I was talking to my BFF about it, she's TTC in October. FI and I aren't TTC anymore (or going to for a while) but I am seriously hung up on it!
I definitely have baby fever! I even dreamed that I was pregnant last week! The dream ended with my water breaking and rushing to the hospital.
DH and I saw family this weekend for labor day and I got multiple questions about when we were going to have kids, get pregnant, have an announcement, etc. The questions don't bother me as I understand why people ask and I'm not offended or anything. But it certainly puts babies at the fore-front of my brain!
I just have to keep refering my baby fever emotions to the logical side of my brian that says "I want to be a SAHM and DH and I can't do that on just his salery yet.".
I've got serious baby fever and there's no hope in sight for a baby for me...at least not for 4 years. In the meanwhile I baby my dog like it's no one's business.
yes and no. i've been having dreams about being preggo and when i see cute little pregnant people i'm like oh i want to be pregnant. But we are in the same boat, not ready yet for that. probably in the next year-but i keep thinking about the what if it just happened would we be ready? it's just hard at this age i think.
i always spend a little time over at my best friends house with her new born....that usually clears up my baby fever for a few weeks!
Yes! Originally I wanted to wait approx 4 years after we got married. Well we've almost been married a year and what do you know, I have baby fever! Whenever it gets bad I just think about not being able to just drop everything and go out with DH/friends, missing out on trips and traveling, and lazy days off becoming a rarity. I still value my sleep too much for a baby right now. lol
I am so glad to know I'm not alone....I feel crazy! Esp because I'm the only one of my friends who is even married, so I can't talk to anyone about this!
@hilsy85: yes I convinced myself I was too! I took 2 tests! DH was terrified haha
@.twist.: yeah I think Ive had it since a teenager as well...and I am glad DH isnt saying that to me because that would definitely make it worse!
@Mrs.KMM: ahh pregnancy dreams! I've had them too and it doesnt help that 2 of my friends have had dreams that Im pregnant and 2 coworkers, my mom and my husbands friend have all asked if I'm pregnant because they've "had a feeling" or "I look pregnant" (not fat, just like tired??)
@.twist.: ugh, FI says the same things to me. And I'm taking birth control but sometimes I convince my self I might be because I didn't take it on the dot at 10pm or something. It's crazy. It doesn't help that FI's mom LOVES babies and would DIE if we had one. She's been hinting that she would be okay if we had a baby for the last two years now.
I had a spike in baby fever last night at work when a lady came in with an extremely cute toddler. But then I reminded myself of all the reasons we want to adopt and what pregnancy can do to your body...and it faded, lol.
Since I'm now taking the pill continously, I get a period every three months, which means I have to test during the second pack to make sure. I tested yesterday morning and obv. it was negative...I was relieved and also a little sad, which is completely absurd and irrational.
@Running Elley: I feel like literally everyone is getting pregnant! Every other day some unmarried or unengaged person is posting on facebook about their baby bump. I get jealous and I don't even know why! We are literally 3-4 yrs away from TTC, but I can't help it.
And then I follow a lot of blogs and old bees and everyone seems to be pregnant. Oy
Consuming my mind, and we're trying! I feel like there's such a space in our lives that a child could fill, and everything we do as a couple I find myself thinking "Wouldn't it be great to have a kid with us while we do this, or do that, etc." DH and I were at the beach this past weekend and were talking about how great it would be to have a little one playing in the sand! Hopefully by this time next summer...
But, yes, I have it and it's burning STRONG!
@MrsMaine:FI and I were like that. It's so hard! :P We were TTC but when we hit the year mark we decided we'd take a break and for a while the baby fever went away but it's come back!
@PitBulLover: It's the worst when everyone around you falls pregnant. I think at one point I knew 17 people who were either pregnant or had just had a baby!!
@plantains: Baby rabies - love that term! And mine and DH's are going strong. We're TTCing and I catch DH eyeing up babies all the time. It's pretty cute. But when we see a pregnant lady, he starts with "Whoa, she is WAY pregnant . . ." and usually pauses then says "I mean, she looks super comfortable and cute." Almost as if he's afraid I'll say "no babies for you - that looks terrible" if he doesn't try to paint being pregnant as super awesome.
But yeah, baby rabies. 
Yes and no (it comes and goes). I've been spending a sh!t ton of time with my two neices (4mos & 5mos) over the summer as well as a friends 9month old and the funny thing is that when I'm playing with those perfectly real babies, I am not overwhelmed by the crazy-ovaries. Not to say I don't enjoy the time spent, or that it turns me off of pregnancy, I just had the strange idea that it would make things worse.
Or maybe it's like I'm getting my baby dosage to ward off the insanity? idek.
Ohhh, I am so amazingly relieved to read this and hear that it's not just me! I don't talk about it to anybody but my FI... but when thinking about our wedding next year, all I can think is that after the wedding - babybabybaby! My FMIL actual outright forbid me, multiple times, not to have children until we both have college degrees (neither of us are in college, nor do we have any desire to apply), own a house and have stable careers. She said I am not allowed. -My- mother insists we should try right after the wedding because she and her mother had so much trouble conceiving. Whenever I look at wedding things, I just start swaying and mumbling about babies. My FI just laughs at me and kind of pats me on the head, saying, "Oh! You and your baby fever! Hahaha." It's not funny! :P
We already picked out our top four favourite names. Is that normal?
It doesn't help that my cousin is due in a week... I got to buy her baby things. It was awesome. I want to buy baby things. How do you turn baby fever off?? I have had it in waves, coming and going, for about a year and a half. Ever since we started talking long term plans and I found out he really wants a lot of children and wants to have them young, just like me!
@MrsMaine: I feel the empty space, too. :(
TWIN! LOL Hubby and I have def moved up our baby timeline in the last month. We've finally concluded that we are ready as we will ever be and don't want to waste any more time! We are going to take the next couple of months to get healthier and the actively start TTC at the start of the year!
I have my gyno appt in a few weeks and have made it a 'pre-conception' appt. !!!!!!! I CAN'T WAIT!
Mr. Hedgie is well aware of my baby fever. He jokes about it all the time. We have only been married for 2 months but have been together for 5 years and believe me, once baby fever hits... it doesn't go away. I thought getting a puppy would help cure it but it didn't... (although I have been dying for a dog forever and I love my little girl like crazy) But, like everybody else, we aren't at the point where we are ready. BUT, Mr. Hedgie promised me we could start trying in a year. He graduates college in 2 1/2 months and will be starting his career so... YAY! We were going to start TTC now but then some things happened and we weren't were we thought we were. Kinda made us reevaluate things for the better (but its certainly harder!)
oh geez... glad I'm not the only one! But FI is encouraging it! AH! I also think wedding planning = closer to baby planning!! We graduate in Dec, get married in Dec, then we decided to wait about 6m and then start TTC. It still seems so far away :(
We are AT LEAST 5 years from even thinking about babies. Especially because we both plan on advanced degrees and want to travel a lot before we have kids, so no babies here anytime soon. And I think I am way to young to be a mommy yet. But I still, in the back of my mind, just can not wait!! Though right now I think it would be sated by a little niece or nephew to spoil and send home to my sister and BIL or his bro and SIL.
@.twist.: Ha, me too! When people ask me when I want kids I always say "Like 2 years ago!"
I can't wait until we are at that point of our life, but we are still young and it is best if we wait.
I love to say baby rabies every chance I get:)
I'm off the pill now and just getting to know my own body again before we try in a few months. Can't wait!
@MaiFuture: Omg! I feel the same way. 2 years ago! However, with money how it is, I'm trying to be the most responsible me. *POUT* Am I allowed to whine? "It's just not FAAAAAAAAAIR".
I've had baby rabies for a better part of this year. I went off of the pill in June. We started trying this month. For the longest time, I felt like I couldn't participate in the TTC boards, but now here we are. Also, I got jealous of pregnant women because I want it so bad. I'm excited to finally be at a point where we're really trying and hoping for it.
Ugh, yes. And we can't yet, for financial/professional reasons. SO FRUSTRATING!
ME! DH and I want to wait at least 2 years and are no where near ready but I just can't help it! I have gotten so bad as to drag poor DH through the baby section at Target to pick out the crib we'll get, the stroller, etc. LOL. I even have a bunch of cute baby stuff favorited on my Etsy account. It doesn't help the fact that MIL is pressuring us to have a baby now.
both me and DH have baby fever bad! its gotten to the point where he would even hold a baby like newborn baby. He never held his nieces or nephews until they were able to hold their heads up and once they would start to get fussy he would give them back... yesterday he was holding a 1 month old and when he got fussy he walked him around.. i thought it was SO cute! everyone was like wow hes ready now
Although I did get an email this morning that might help me reconsider: a friend of mine's baby was born 2 weeks late, after THIRTY NINE HOURS of labor, followed by an emergency c-section. I cannot even begin to imagine.
I have it bad and I won't be married until next summer (and we won't start TTC until 1-2 years after that!). I just threw a baby shower for my 7-month pregnant best friend on Friday, my old coworker just gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, a current coworker who sits by me will have her baby any day now, and one of my college friends had a baby 3 months ago! I feel like I'm surrounded by pregnant women and keep seeing more ultrasound and baby bump pics on facebook from other people I know!
Um, yes! FI and I both have it! His brother and SIL had a baby about a month ago. We were spending time with them yesterday, and I was holding the baby, giving him a bottle, and he would get so cuddly! I melted instantly. FI and I were both feeling the same way. He made a comment that he was ready for one now. We will be waiting about two more years (we're getting married in June 2012, and then he still has a year of grad school). We know it's the best decision for us. We'll just have to have fun playing with our new nephew! We do have our names picked out, too.
@mightywombat: omg NO!!!
Seriously, all you guys make me feel better and less crazy!
@sunny1: yes, picking names is normal. We hope to have 3 kids, so we picked out our top 3 boys and girls names! Including middle names. Totally normal
@missjyc: TWIN omg that is awesome! SO happy for you guys. But you are just about the age I want to be when first TTC so you are ahead of the game...and I'm jealous! Good luck to you guys!

Recently I've had a very bad case of baby fever. I just can't stop thinking about getting pregnant or having a baby. DH and I aren't trying and aren't really ready, but it's in the forefront of my mind. I also thought I was pregnant last week because I've been really tired, really dizzy, change in appetite and mood swings. I took a test but it came back negative....
Anyone else having some bad baby fever?
