How soon can I stary trying again?

Question

So I just had my beautiful baby boy! I know it's way to soom to even think about it. But I want my children to be kind of close in age. After having a baby when can you start trying again? 😁💙

Answer

If you had a c section you need to wait a year for your body to heal. Otherwise you can after your 6 weeks check up but it's recommended to wait at least 6 months for your uterus and cervix to heal fully. Also if you're breastfeeding and get pregnant, your supply might drop.

Answer

Immediately, but remember. The terrible two's don't end at two, it ends at more like 4, plus, the closer you have them, the less you get to spend with your babies when they are babies. Teething will happen at once a lot of times, along with potty training. I had my first two 18 1/2 months apart, and I feel like I missed so much of my 2nd's milestones because the first kept me so busy. A year is not too long to focus on loving your first one.

Answer

Depends on how your body handled pregnancy and what type of delivery you had. My doctors are ADAMANT that it's crucial to wait at least a year between pregnancies, which works for me because I want that distance myself.  However, I know tons of people who have Irish Twins and both are perfectly healthy. I don't think there's really an idea time to wait- just whenever you feel healed and ready.

Answer

It depends on your first pregnancy and your health. It is best to talk to you OB about it. I'm 37 (so advanced maternal age), had GDM and had my son a month early (not terribly early but still preterm). My OB forbade me to get pregnant within 6 months post partum. Between the age, GDM and a preterm first, it outs me at increased risk the second time around. But she wanted me to start planning #2 around the one year mark, as we aren't getting any younger. With that said, there are a lot of people with Irish twins, and both mommy and babies are healthy. I feel that when mom is in her 20s (prime child bearing age) and healthy, it's fine. But it's still a lot of strain on mom, as baby #2 will be depleting mom of a lot important nutrients and minerals before she can replenish them.
