Nervous about TTC for #2...

Le

I have a beautiful 15 month old daughter, that we conceived after a year of trying and then finally, some medical intervention.

My cycle came back 3 months ago finally. And for the first time in my life, they’re REGULAR...so I have hope I may be able to conceive #2 naturally!

All of my siblings were very far apart in age and even though I had 4 siblings I felt like I didn’t. My husband and I want our daughter to have a sibling close in age. But...

I’m terrified! I’m literally just starting to feel like myself again after losing all my (54 pounds!) of pregnancy weight and recovering from a C section AND breastfeeding for the past 15 months. I’m starting to look forward to going to work again (I’m not as sleep deprived!).My daughter can walk now and isn’t as attached to me anymore which feels liberating...

I want to have the last member of our family here soon but I can’t get over my fears. It’s all too fresh.

Can anyone help me work through my thoughts? If you had children close together, especially if you’re a working mom, what was your thought process? Are you glad you did it that way?
