When did you try again?

My second baby girl was born sleeping 2 weeks ago at 39+3. We were 2 days away from our induction that was meant to keep us both safe (I had gestational diabetes and polyhydramnios)

I feel so desperate to try again as soon as I can. I know I'm only 2 weeks pp and this could just be the hormones. But I want to be pregnant, as much as I suffer throughout my pregnancies. I want to hold a living baby in my arms again. I know this will not replace my beautiful girl, and I don't want a baby to do so. I just want so painfully to have another baby.

Is this just postpartum hormones? Why do I feel so desperate but ready at the same time. The thought of having another living baby makes me feel peaceful or hopeful. I know I have grieving and healing to face but I feel like I need a baby.

Has anyone experienced this?
