For all the first time moms.....

This will most likely be our only child. But I can't predict how either of us will feel once she's here so things can change. We'll see how things progress.

We'd like our kids to be spaced out about 2 years apart.

2-3 years for me hopefully if it was this easy getting pregnant this year i am hoping for the same luck 3 years from now! also i want to lose all the baby weight be healthy organized with my first so i can do the same with number 2

We want two kids and would like to have them 3 to 4 years apart. I want time in between for my body to recover, to enjoy our first baby, and to allow our first born to be potty trained and old enough to understand the arrival of a sibling. I also think that it will help us financially. You never know though, it took us over two years to conceive our first. They say that you're more fertile after having one baby though. You can only plan so much, the rest is up to fate.

DH and I were just talking about this the other day, we plan on waiting about 2 years for the next one.

We actually haven't discussed it yet, but we will most likely wait 2-3 years before trying for a second.

KandM05 · June 2009

1-2 years

We would like our kids to be about 2-3 years apart. We'll probably start trying when our DS is about 18 months. I'm not sure how long it will take since with this one we weren't really trying to get preg, we just weren't trying not to!

If we have another one (dh already has three with ex wife), I'd like to wait at least two years before trying for another one. It took us eight months of trying before we got pregnant. I always thought that I'd have two, but I think I'd be happy with one (we also have to think of our financial situation).

Minimum 3 years.

Love Sugar Sweet Minxy · June 2009

2-3 years. I think that is a decision we will make when we feel the time is right. I know that I am in no rush to do this again, especially when a LO running around!

sarabeth05 · June 2009

We will start trying about a year later. I think.

mrsH_777 · June 2009

We were thinking 4, because I don't know how we could afford two children in daycare. Not to mention the expenses of when they are older - high school activities, college, etc. I don't want them to be too far in age, however, where they aren't able to be close. My brother and I were 3 years apart, and I thought it was perfect.

catycombs · June 2009

Idealistically they will be 2 years apart. I am no spring chicken, and I would like to have both of babies by my 37th birthday! But, who knows.

april_lynn_08 · June 2009

Ideally, I'd like 4 or 5 years between my children. I would NOT want two in diapers, or two that are so dependant on us at the same time. DH is pushing for 2 years max. We'll see what happens though.

ladyalmalthea · June 2009

My brother and I are 4 years apart.. i don't want the kids any farther apart than that. We haven't talked about spacing, but I guess 2 or 3 years.

sbollenbach · June 2009

I think I want to wait 2-3 more years myself... course I'll probably rethink a 2nd one if I stay as sick as I have been the first 4 months.

Switzerland · June 2009

If DH gets his way it will be within 4 months of the birth of our first...I would like to wait 9 months... we shall see..

alelau1402 · June 2009

I hope 2 yrs max. DH thinks we should wait 3-5yrs. We'll see!!!

Melodic · June 2009

It depends on finances and other timing issues. We're planning on three (two natural, one adopted) but many places in the US won't allow adoption until both parents are 30 or over and that's 7 years away for me! I don't want my adopted child to be a lot younger than my biological kids.

Plus of course we have to see how much this baby alters any financial projections and adjust accordingly!
