When is it safe to try for second baby?

Emily • 💙 06/06/2020

I’m 32 and it took a year to conceive our first baby, after two miscarriages. We at least want the option of having three children and I also would like them close in age. I want to start trying sooner than later in case it takes a long time again. I have heard some recommendations of a year or 18 months in between but others have said it’s okay after 6 months. I know I sound ignorant but I almost don’t want to ask my OB his recommendation in case he says something longer than what we would like— and then we end up getting pregnant anyway. I would like to start trying after 6 months. Please share your experiences/opinions!
