TTC with a 4-5 month old?

Question

Okay so mine an my wife's baby is due November, and we were think about TTC when he's about 4-5 months old because we want 3 kids and we want them close in age (like less than 2 years apart) and was just wandering if it sounded like a good idea. If any one has done this can you comment when you got pregnant after having a baby and what it was like?

Answer

You really should wait at least 6 months. For the health of you and your next baby

Answer

Typically you need a year to heal between pregnancy.

Answer

I would wait till babe is closer to 7-10 months. Her body will need time to heal. Also if there are any complications with this delivery she'll need more time to heal. If she plans on breastfeeding she might not get her period back till after she stops breastfeeding ( it can take up to 6 months to return after stopping bf) also it can take a few months for her hormones to regulate postpartum. If she ends up with ppd ( postpartum depression) you'll want to wait till that is under control. I wouldn't make any solid plans yet but wait till baby is here& go with the flow- be flexible

Answer

Check with your doc-- a woman's body does best when it has some time to recover and build back up on stores of vitamins. Certain challenges are more likely in closely spaced pregnancies.

Answer

A woman's body needs at least a year to recover from pregnancy. I conceived my second a week after my firsts first birthday 😀
