in February 2013 Moms

Okay so I just had my 2nd baby at the beginning of February and I must say I am already thinking I want to go ahead and get Pregnant again with our last and final baby I am back and forth on if this is truly a smart decision but know that we will indeed be planning to get pregnant with  baby #3 within the next year so is it to soon to even consider getting pregnant so soon after delivery? I dont feel that its because i miss being pregnant, but i want to have them closer in age than what we have now and want to be done having babies can anyone tell me if im crazy for thinking about it or if maybe i should just do it i just need other mommies help and support before we share with our families that we are considering trying again right away

    I agree with adamwife that you need time to heal... though idk how much time! I'd ask your OB when is safe to try again. That said, people DO get pregnant right away, so it's really up to you.

    DH and I also want our kids close in age and will

    I definitely second the recommendation to ask your doctor! My MW said to wait at least two years to give your body the best opportunity to heal, but my endo specialist s

    I would wait to heal. I have heard from my birthing class that your body ideally needs a year. However if you are over 35 or 40, then I was told 6 months.

    That being said my I have a 4 year old, a 18 month old and almost a 1 month old, but I

    While I think that PP have valid points, my DH and I are planning on starting to try for #3 this summer after my brother's wedding in July.  E will be 5 months old and we may or may not get pregnant right away since I am exclusivly BFing.&nbs

    Everyone has their own timeline, but there is research showing that having babies too close together can contribute to healthy problems for the baby- increased risk of autism, preterm birth, placental abruption, etc. They think it's because the mother'

    A 2011 study also suggests a link between pregnancy intervals of less than 12 months and autism risk in second

    My oldest two are 15 months apart. They are the very best of friends and I love it. My pregnancy and labor and delivery with my second was my easiest so far. BUT after he was born I had SEVERE PPD and had to be on meds for a year. My doctor said it was fr
