When's the next one coming?

Need advice on the feelings associated with being new grandma
Granddaughter was born 2 days ago
Son in law seems to be over protective of his wife and new baby
Is it ok to leave them alone for a week
I feel like I need to be with my daughter
Is it just instinct

My son and daughter-in-law have been married for five and a half years. They are great planners (5-year plan, 10-year plan etc.) and I know having children is very important to them, so I am deliberately not speculating. If things go to their (unknown to me) plan there will be an announcement eventually and if they don't I expect they will have a heart to heart with me when they're ready to discuss it.

My suggestion would be to focus on other things that are going on in your life - and continue to enjoy the lovely grandchild you already have.

Sorry, but I’m lost on this one, why is this occupying your thoughts most of the time?
And why the suspense?
And why involve 3rd parties?
You have Grandchildren, be thankful for that, enjoy your own life and stop obsessing about your children’s lives, they seem happy, leave them to it.

One manages because there is no alternative.
Give thanks for the grandchild you have and be grateful.

(This is in no way related to the OP, but tangentially to some of the other comments)

Of all the shenangians mum and MIL have pulled over the years, the insults, abuse and shaming they piled on me when it was thought for years I was infertile was far and away the worst.

Something that was already a terrible personal pain was magnified by all the talk of "failure" and handy words like "barren".

I mean, now apparently I have too many children and they keep screeching about abortions. But frankly that despicable conduct is easier to ignore than being kicked when I was down.

I would have given anything for family who were silent and respectful on the matter as you ladies have been. It is a great kindness to those of us who are struggling.

There is a 5 year gap between my DGD1 and DGD2. The parents wanted them closer together but it took that long to get pregnant the second time. I often wondered if they wanted more than the one child but never felt it was any of my business to ask them.

My DS2 and partner have no desire to have any children so I'm making the most of the two I have

my daughter had 4 years of fertility treatment ,she hated people asking her when she was having her next baby..if only it was that simple .

Couples we know in their 40s are starting only now to have children. If yours are mid 30 s they have enough time. Maybe there are problems, but if they want to talk to you about it they will. If they don’t, keep quiet. It’s their business.
I have two grandchildren and would have liked my other child to have become a parent too, and for my Gcs to have cousins, it can’t happen, so for me there will be no more. Be happy with your gs because there are many who have none.

I had four miscarriages in between my two children. The last thing I'd have needed was people asking when the next baby was coming. If you are prone to miscarriage you don't need those kinds of comments. Just enjoy the one grandchild you have got .

My son was a late starter having his son at 37 but I did tactfully ask him one day whether he thought they would have anymore one day, he said well we hope to but we shall see and I was happy with that.
So we were delighted when 3 yrs later they had a daughter a lovely little family. I don’t think they felt any pressure from us.

I never pressured my DD to have children. They had other things to do. We now have one grandchild and know there will be no more - a decision I entirely respect - and I am grateful for him. If anything I am a little sad for him that he will have no siblings.

My mother put enormous pressure on all of us to have babies not so that she could do any of the care which she expressly refused to do so I never felt the need or want to pressurise my daughter in fact the opposite. DH1 had three children she couldn't afford and is now pressurising the 2 older ones to have babies so she could be a grandmother. Her eldest is making me a great gran in May - not thrilled I probably wont see much of them anyway. I was very upset when DD2 said she was pregnant. I wanted her to have a career and travel as I hadn't - to busy having babies to please mother. She had a horrible time having her only son and I always said neither she or me should have to go through that again.
