Answer

Doctors and midwives recommend waiting 18 months before conceiving again. Your body takes a year or more to fully recover and you need to refill your vitamin and mineral tank as well lol

Answer

I'm a human development grad and your body takes awhile to fully recuperate after carrying a child. The recommended time is between 2-4 years. Clearly many people have their kids much closer in age and they are just fine, but that is what's recommended

Answer

March of Dimes doesn't recommend a mother having another child until 18 months at least after giving birth. You risk premature birth, your baby and your own body being vitamin deficient, and a few other things which you can check out in the march of dimes website.

Answer

Doctor suggested bro wait 6 months to a year

Answer

My boys r 10 months apart so u can

Answer

Technically you can start having sex 6 weeks after delievery. Any sooner than that and you risk infection. I think if you have a c-section you need to wait a few months (3? 6?) for your uterus to heal from being cut open. 
I personally would wait at least 6 months to let my body heal because pregnancy is hard work. Your doctor could give you a better idea for your personal situation and health as well.
