Is it too soon?

Question

My husband and I delivered our baby boy on April 17th, 2018 making him nearly 9 months. Here lately I am constantly thinking about wanting to start trying for another. (I know, I know they say wait 18 months but that's not why I feel guilty.) I would like to start trying around his first birthday (a little after) so that our second is born after he is 2. However, I feel guilty that if we do get pregnant again that it will take away from his "baby days". (If you know what I mean.) I know it is about balancing your time between the two. I just cannot help but feel guilty for wanting another so much already. Is this a normal feeling before trying for baby number two? Please feel free to comment, I appreciate all advice I can get!

My baby was born March 31st and I’m 19w+4 pregnant. 🤪 not too early!

Answer

My daughter was born April 12 and we have been trying since she was five months. No luck yet as I am breastfeeding. It’s up to you and your partner and what you think you can handle 😊.

Answer

My daughter was born April 27 and I am almost 5 weeks pregnant with my second due September 18 :)

Answer

I’m pregnant! 5 weeks today. I’m looking at it as he will always have a friend his age to play with, even if he gets a little less attention as a baby.

Answer

I gave birth April 10th and I’m almost 5months pregnant with baby #3 lol

Answer

My baby is 9m and we are going to start trying soon.

Answer

I have been feeling the exact same way. My husband and I agreed to just wait on even talking about it until our daughter is 18 months. I figured putting it off even just a few more months won’t hurt and hopefully I’ll feel more comfortable in our decision.

Answer

I today had my baby who’s 9 months and my friends baby who is 7 weeks younger and it’s been hard. She’s a lot fussier than my baby so I spent most of the day with her and felt bad for feeling like I was neglecting my son even though he was perfectly happy and fine and it’s only one day!

Answer

My daughters birthday is April 14th, 2018! I can’t imagine having any children right now but my brother and I are 14 months apart. His baby days were never taken away and he was always my best friend growing up. Now that we’re adults we get along very well! I think if you have children close in age they will be buddies growing up and having a strong bond!
