Having another?

res932

DS is 16 months now, and a lot of moms that had babies right around that age are getting pregnant again. I go back and forth. Some days I feel like I would love another one right now, but other days I feel like I want DS to be a little older. DS is finally to the point where he can interact and play and I feel like I would miss out if we had another baby right now. For those of you that are FTMs when do you think you will have another? Is this feeling that I want to wait normal or should I be starting to think about #2? People tell me not to wait too long in between because they won't be close then.

honestly, this is a decision only you can make.  There is no right or wrong answer.  If you don't feel ready yet, then that's fine.  If you do, then go for it.  And keep in mind, it does take 9 month to bake a baby

I go back and forth as well with having a second baby right now. We can't afford it financially though right now but I think we would try soon if we could. I also have the feeling that it would be nice to have them spread out a bit to enjoy this time with

We're not planning on trying for another until next summer. DS is getting more and more fun everyday and want to spend this time with him and not have another newborn to try to handle. They'll end up being like 3+ years apart but that's fine, I also don't

DH recently caught me off guard by suggesting we start trying again in December.  I told him I would be ok with that if I dropped the amount of weight I wanted to by then.  However, the more I think about it, the sadder I get because the thought

I have always wanted kids about 3 years apart. 2 years just seemed so close, I didn't think the 1st one could get enough attention. I know myself well enough now, that there's no way I could handle kids that close. I get overwhelmed easily and I couldn

We are planning to start trying in the fall and I definitely have my moments where I am like are we really going to do this? I definitely don't feel ready now and so I will have to see how I feel when the times comes. Most times I get nervous when things

We had originally thought that we would try this fall but have decided to start trying at the end of may and continue through the summer. The thought scares me most days but it makes sense for our little world right now.

IMO it's up to you and YH to decide what works best for your family.  Just don't wait too long because it's still 10 months to add for age split difference..

I will say this that 7 years difference in age sucks! (we had a hard time getting P

Obviously only you and DH can make the decision on when to start trying again.

For me I always wanted 2 close in age.  My nephews are 13 months apart and I honestly wanted that.  There are a few reasons but one is our ages, I'm 34, DH

Well seeing as though we already had another I just thought I would throw my two cents in. We obviously had these two close together(14 mo apart) and while the first couple of weeks were rough, I am loving it now. DS absolutely adores his little sister. S
