How long did you wait to try again?

Question

Hi guys!!
I have a two month old little boy and my husband and I absolutely love him!!
It’s hard but we enjoy being parents soooo much. We both want another one so bad but are nervous as to we are still fresh into parenthood.
How long did you wait before trying for a second babe?
Also let me see your little family for extra cuteness🖤

Answer

I think the recommendation is to wait at least a year. I think best case is 18m because your body needs to heal and replenish lots of very important vitamins-especially if you’re breastfeeding. 
We waited 18m because we weren’t ready and sooner 😅 
My sister in law waited about 11 months. 
Cute baby!

Answer

We fostered a newborn before becoming pregnant. I can’t speak for birth and recovery yet, but our current plan is to start trying again as soon as I’m cleared for sex. Whatever you choose is hard. Any age gap can have benefits and challenges.

Answer

My husband and I actually started trying for baby #2 when our son was 5 months old. We didn’t actually conceive until he was 1 which I think was for the best. They are 21 months apart which I love ❤️ 
I am 
currently 14 weeks pregnant with our last baby (a baby girl 💕) and her older brothers will be 4 and 2 (almost 3) when she is born.

I had my oldest July 26 2014 and my middle June 26 2015 and wouldn’t of done anything different they are so close and are completely amazing and now I’m 3 months pregnant and they are so excited

Answer

We waited until our daughter was a year old to ditch all prevention methods. It took a year and a half and fertility meds for us to conceive her so we figured it would take a while for the second. So, we decided to not prevent but we weren’t actively trying. Surprisingly we conceived our second month not trying not preventing, and have a little boy due in June. They will be 23 months apart which sometimes makes me nervous but I know it’ll be worth it

Answer

I will wait 2 years to try again. I personally witnessed my sister having my niece and nephew very close together (12 months apart) and as much as its sweet that they are close in age, the amount of work doesn’t appeal to me. She doesn’t seem to be enjoying parenting either of her children fully because it’s SO much work. One of her first advices to me was to wait at least 18 months LOL.

Answer

My son is 2 years old and we started trying 2 months ago :)
