I have a 7 month old son and I have been getting pregnancy fever. I feel like I want to try again for another one. Am I ready? How do I know? Or am I just missing being pregnant. any thoughts,advice, any other mamas feel this way? How did you know you were ready for another?
Thank you

Personally, 7 months is way early for me.
I can't imagine being almost due with my son right now. That's just me.
I knew I wanted my kids close in age, about 2 years apart. I'm already tired, might as well continue being tired for a few more years.
My son is a lot of work, and I don't think I'd want a newborn with him right now.
When I give birth, he'll be 21 months.
I have gotten a little spooked though bc I've read that getting pregnant in under a year from last delivery increases the chances of autism..?
We would like another baby and as far as age I figure let's get through all the infant and toddler stages all at once. I'm also 37 so I know my window of opportunity is closing.
I don't know if you ever know for sure but if you feel like this is what you and your family want then go for it. There's always obstacles , pros and cons... Just figure out what's best for your situation
