Pregnant after giving birth

Anyone ever actually TRY getting pregnant right after giving birth? It happened to my cousin -on accident- but I want to know if it’s happened to anyone on purpose?

My hubby sounds crazy, but he wants me to get pregnant right after having our first baby because we want a big family and we don’t want to be old parents.

The logical side of me says no way! And to at least wait a year or two to see how it is when we have our first. But part of me considers it because we are in a fortunate situation where we both get to be home during the day and help each other out.

And yes, I KNOW how hard it would be - I’ve seen and heard about it first hand with my cousin!

Edit:

I had no idea it could be bad for your body to get pregnant again so soon, so thanks for the info ladies! Will definitely tell my husband about that the next time he brings it up so he can consider waiting a bit 😂

I’m happy for those of you that got pregnant right after & things went/are going smoothly! Don’t know what’ll happen, but I’ll definitely do some research, talk to my doctor, and see what’s best for me! Also I’ll see how I feel once our baby is born- that could definitely change my mind on how soon I want our second 😂
