When to have another baby?

Question

I have baby fever so bad and want to continue to grow my family. I currently have a 3 1/2 year old and 7 month old. I want to try to conceive before the year is up. 
Does anyone have advice on the age spacing between children? Idk if it will be very rough with a newborn in one year with my current kiddos ages or not. Just wondering how it is for other mamas.

Answer

Most physicians recommend waiting 12-18 months before trying to conceive so your body has time to properly heal.

Answer

I just got back from my pp checkup and my OB asked my plan for next baby. I told him I’d like to start trying at 9 months pp if he thinks that is okay. I wanted his thoughts as everyone always says you need to wait 12-18months, but he gave me the big OK. 
Around 18 months age gap is my ideal gap! Me and my siblings are 18 months apart and we played together so well and are so close! My mom loved it and said she wouldn’t have done it different. 
If you are ready, go for it! Do what you feel is best! You’ll be fine no matter the age gap!

Answer

It is HIGHLY advised to wait until 18m pp to start trying for another child after delivery. Under 1yr you risk a lot of complications.

Answer

My first two are 13 months apart and there is 4 years between my oldest son and my youngest. Honestly? Having them this close is hard at times but seeing how close they are it’s really rewarding and awesome. I think you just need to do what you think you can handle. Trust me, I have days where I want to pull my hair out.
