    I would wait so you are able to really spend a lot of quality time with your LO and get to really truly bond. My mom had my brother and I 11 months 2 weeks apart and it was a good experience but growing up everyone thought we were twins just in different grades. Personally I'd wait at least a year or two especially since it's so expensive. Btw I had the same thoughts...my H said no and my sister reminded me of how my brother and I were in school, etc even though we are close.

    I've had the same thoughts for the last month, but then I remind myself how hard the first month was for me emotionally & that there is no way I could have another baby so soon. I'm just going to cherish this time with K & maybe next year start TTC again.

    I find myself wanting to get preg again right away eventhough I didn't like being pregnant! But we decided to wait till C is 1 before we try so he will be a good walker and a little more independent. I don't know how moms leave the house with 2 babies.

    This is my thought too. The first month was too hard to do again so soon... that and financially we would drown if we threw any more medical bills in the mix!!!

    I agree with PP's, that first month craziness is way too fresh in my mind to think about TTC. My doc also advised giving 18 months between C Sections, but I think my biggest hang up of all is not wanting to have two in diapers at the same time!

    As the already pregnant may mom, I volunteer to talk you off the ledge! We are happy and excited, but... It's hard to not have control of my body again, thinking about another csection is scary, how will I go grocery shopping with two babies? What if LO isn't walking when the next one comes? Two college tuitions at once. Diapers. Formula. Two cribs. All of the hard parts of having twins except one of them is old enough to feel ignored. If you work... Omg daycare for two. If you don't... Omg there's two of them. Just telling you everything I've been thinking the past six weeks!

    Everything Trademama said! I have a 14 month old and a 3 month old. To add on to what she said. Once the newest one comes you won't be able to nap with him/her because your older child will be awake so you will be tireder than hell. If you FF you will be washing bottles every other day(if your oldest isn't weaned yet) otherwise you run out. Having the patience to deal with a screaming 1 year old while your youngest is trying to nap for a change.
    While I wouldn't change having Alexander it is definitely difficult and I wish we had made it to the 6mo pp period before getting pregnant again.

    I mostly HATED being pregnant. I was sick the whooooole time-- the longest stretch of no vomiting that I had was 13 days. My blood pressure was a concern starting at 14 weeks. I had terrible reflux, which only exacerbated my constant nausea and I couldn't brush my teeth without gagging until the day after I delivered.
    So I was very, very surprised when, at 2weeks PP, I already couldn't wait to do it all again! My friends think I'm crazy and remind me of how miserable I was the whole time, but it's so insignificant now that I have my LO on the outside. Now, I feel a gas bubble and think, "aww, it's like baby moving inside me!"
    But we will wait probably 2 years before TTC again. I really want to enjoy this time right now as a family of 3. Who knows how many more kids we will have-- DH will probably want to stop at 2, but I've always wanted more. So even though I kinda miss being pregnant, I'm so excited to keep it as something to look forward to in the future!
    (Also, sex is just too damn uncomfortable right now to even think about!)

    We don't!! I can probably count on one hand the number of times I've left the house in the last 3 months that weren't walks around the neighborhood, grocery shopping trips or doctor appointments.

    I wouldn't trade either of my twins for anything, but having two babies is so, so hard. The hardest part for me is not being able to devote all my attention to either of them and feeling like I'd be such a better mom if I just had one.

    I really miss being pregnant, but every time I look at DD I realize she needs me right now and being pregnant at the moment (or even before she is a year) is not something I want to do. BUT if you really want to have another one right away go for it (I know I'm not much help). I think it's okay either way, you just have to really want that.

    It's hard. I don't get out a lot other than to get things we need for the boys. I use amazon a lot to get bigger items and grocery shopping is a trick. Both of my boys are good most of the time but when one's upset whatever needs to be done waits.

    You just convinced me to wait a year.
