Babies: 9 - 12 Months

So if you're going to have more than 1 LO...

When are you going to start trying for #2? DH wants to start trying earlier than I do...i don't want to start trying until DS is 2. What are you thinking about doing?

  • Well we already have baby #2 (the bonus baby) and baby #3 is already on the way (the surprise baby)

  • We were thinking when next April, but now I'm thinking we may push it back.

  • My two are about 22 months apart and I love it!  #3 will be a bit further apart due to our financial situation (we'll hopefully ttc when DD2 is 2-2 1/2, once DH has finished his PhD), but given the chance I would do about 2 years apart again.  DD1 had very few jealousy issues (not none since she is human) and has no memory of life without her sister.  I'm a little worried about how #3 will do being further apart from his/her closest sibling, but I have to hope and assume it will be fine!

  • We wanted ours about 2.5 years apart. For us, it's a great age difference and I know that I personally wouldnt want them any closer than that. I think up to 4 years apart would be good, though.
  • We will be trying this winter!
  • We'll probably start trying when DS is 3.  I would do it earlier, but DH wants to wait.

    This.  2U2 or even 2U3 gives me a headache just thinking about it!  DS is a difficult baby, I may have felt differently if he was easy.

  • We are going to start ttc #2 in September when LO is 11 months. It took us a long time for her though (two years-I have PCOS), so we're not trying but not preventing now.
  • DS will probably be 4 or 5. We are waiting until our finances are more stable.

  • The plan is, after we buy a house.  But LORD KNOWS when that will be.  I am praying that we can start TTC when Nora is about 2 years old. 

    My older sister and I are just under 3 years apart, and I think that's the perfect age difference.

  • I think we'll start TTC after Landon is 2, so sometime in the fall/winter of 2011.  I'd like him to be at least 3 before we add another, but who knows! After October (our wedding), I wouldn't be upset if we had another faster :) I've always wanted to wait, but we'll see!

  • We originally thought we would stop being careful around LO's first birthday but I am now wanting to push it back for a little while.  We need to get a little more financially secure as well as I just want some more time with LO before we have another one.  We said we would talk about it again maybe when he is 18 months or so. We were lucky to not have any trouble last time so I don't want to start trying until I think we are ready.  I just tell myself I will know when we need to begin trying because I did last time.

  • We have been open to life, but will seriously start trying, as in paying attention to my cycles, once DD turns 1.
