I want another child

Question

i have a beautiful 3 month old baby boy and i am looking forward to having another child really soon... i would like my children to have only a small age gap between them.

do you think trying for a baby now is to soon?

Answer 1

yes! kids his age are easy as they dont run or grab everything in sight. when your little boy gets to 2 years old youll regret it if you have another one on your hands! trust me. all parents suggest to wait awile to atleast give their body some time. kids need alot of attention and two small ones is verry hard witch right now you may not be able to see. you still have years. take your time and dont rush it, ask other mothers.

Answer 2

Personally I do think it's too soon. I don't really understand people who have a tiny baby and then want another one right away without having experienced things like teething, crawling, walking or tantrums and talking back yet. I would probably ideally wait a year, but ended up waiting 2 years to start trying for number 2.

Answer 3

No, i thnk you sholud be fine :)

Good Luck!

Answer 4

age gap...just have another one...go one you know you want to.

Answer 5

maybe you could try to conceive after another 6 months? enjoy your freedome with your child for a while. and later try again, hopefully, god will bless u with another healthy, beautiful baby

Answer 6

If you think you can handle having 2 toddlers in a few years, then sure, go for it!  Tons of people have kids very close in age and make it through just fine!  Good luck!

Answer 7

How you time your family is a very personal choice and only you can make this decision.

I always felt really broody when my baby was a few months old. As soon as he was born I wanted another one! The hormones are still there! But I am glad I waited. A 3 month old baby is very easy to deal with. A one year old isn't!

It's also better to give your body longer as people who have babies very close together are more likely to have a premature baby next time.

Answer 8

It's hard on your body to have kids that close together. Most doctors will recommend waiting at least one year before you get pregnant again, just to give your body a chance to get back into shape. If you're really really keen on getting pregnant again, talk to your doctor. He/she might have some good information.  

Answer 9

yes

one child is enough the planet is over crowded do your bit to save the planet and don't have any more children

Answer 10

I have two friends, who have 15 months between their children. They both say it's really hard work at the beginning but when the kids get to 2 or 3 they are great company for each other (one friend had 2 boys and the other had 2 girls). I have 2 girls and there is 30 months between them and they are also great company for each other. So I would say, if you are prepared for a little extra hard work and your body feels up to it - go for it :)

Answer 11

It is totally your decision. How are you coping with your son so far? What sort of age gap do you think is appropriate?

My daughter has just turned 7 months, and I am 3 months pregnant. There will be a 14 1/2 month age gap, but it is what I wanted. I did have a miscarriage in between, because I wanted a year age gap.

My theory behind it is that my kids will always be able to relate to each other and enjoy the same activities together. Plus the upside of not having to change dirty bums for 10 years straight. Lol.

But it is essentially up to you and the way you want your family to grow up, and what dynamics you would like.

I don't think it is too soon, but it will be very difficult at first, but once the younger one is 2-3 years old, it will get much easier.

Good Luck

Answer 12

Its up to you and your husband to decide.

However medically if you had a normal vaginal delivery then there is no reason why you shouldnt try again now though probably best to check with your doctor first. If you had a c-section then its recommended you wait 12 months to give your uterine scar time to heal properly.

If you both want another one and your doctor has said yes its fine then go for it!

Answer 13

my child is 10 months old. my husband and i want baby number 2. we trying to conceive this month. but i was also wondering if it was too soon...so, i know how you feel. but, i want my children close together so they have someone to play with, trust, and go to school with so they dont feel "alone"...ya know?

Answer 14

I have two boys 12 months and 6 days apart. In all honesty, the hardest part is being pregnant and having such a young baby to care for. Once they're born it is nowhere near as hard as you think, or people tell you. Don't get me wrong, it's no walk in the park, but I've done harder things too.

My boys are 16 and 4 months now, and already they are really close. They were in the bath together last night and they were just giggling at each other, there seemed to be no reason but they were so sweet. My eldest tries to help the little one when he cries, and the little one adores his big brother. You can see that he gets the biggest smile. It's a wonderful age gap and they'll grow up to be best friends.

If you think you can cope with it then go for it, it's the best decision we ever made!
