We started having sex again just a few days after she was born. (It was like I never gave birth, so I was ready way soon.) We've been using condoms, and I'm definitely not pregnant, but I cannot get the thought of having another baby out of my head. I know it's nuts for me to think about having another baby right now with mine in the NICU, and I certainly wouldn't try, but I'm really having a hard time coming to terms with the kind of birth I had. We had everything carefully planned and nothing went that way. Has anyone been through something like this before? Did anything help you?
