Baby Blues

in Babies: 9 - 12 Months

My DS is just about a year old, and the plan is to have another one (or get pregnant at least - as it took us a year to concieve the first time) in 2014. I want my kids to be about 2 years apart. I figure if I get pregnant in late 2013, DS will be only a few months over 2 by the time LO is born. Anyway, with DS's first birthday coming up, I realized how big he has gotten, and I wonder, would it really be so bad to start again?

DH will be getting a new job in the spring of next year, which will require us to move out of state. If I got pregnant when we are planning (May 2013),which means that I would be pregnant with a toddler, in a new place and have no extra help (in-laws, parents, brothers, friends, etc.) Or we could get pregnant now, and have a LO by the time we move. I could keep my ob and hospital that I am familiar with, I wont have to change pediatrician's (at least for the first couple check ups) and I would have all the help I need throughout the pregnancy and first few weeks of birth.

Anyway, just curious if anyone else is starting to plan for the next one and if so are you finding it hard to wait it out??

TIA

    I am not having anymore, but I got pregnant with DD2 on DD1's first birthday.  They are 21 months apart and I love the age gap. 

    Only you can decide when it is best to try again, but if it were me I'd do it where I had help and was familiar.

    I think it would be way harder on your LO to have a new baby right after moving away from everything familiar. IMO

    Thank you for your insight. I feel as if there are pros and cons about waiting, as well as not waiting. I guess DH and I will just need to sit down and talk about it.

    Thank you again for your thoughts!

     You sure know how to celebrate a birthday!
