When were you ready for another?

Question

My son just turned one. He is my first and I would like to have two children and have them not be too far apart in age. When were you ready for your second?

Answer 1

We started trying when my son was 4.  It took about a year to conceive and our baby girl was born 2 months ago.

I kind of wish i had them closer together, so they would have someone to play with, things in common....etc.

But, on the other hand, I was able to spend lots of time with my son and now will have the same time with my daughter since my son is starting school full time.  I really enjoyed that time with him and am sure i will enjoy it with her too.

Answer 2

I found out i was pregnant when my first son was only six months old.  Needless to say i WASNT ready.  However, they are the best of buddies now (when they aren't beating one another over the head). I am actually kind of glad that i had them that close, because i was able to reuse alot of the baby stuff that i had, because i held on to it knowing i already had another on the way, and camlin got used to sharing mommies attention at only 15 mos, so he doesn't fuss to much when i am not able to devote myself solely to him. Anyway, i decided that i want another in about two years, when my oldest starts school, and my youngest is potty trained.  Until then the baby factory is shut down!

Answer 3

When my daughter was 18 mos I really wanted another and I got pregnant in 2 months. With this one..it took forever, my son is now 5..lol Those two kept me very busy, but now they are both in school, so it was time for #3.

Answer 4

I was ready for another baby when my son was a year old and he had no one to play with his age. I got pregnant when he was 15 months old and I am due to have my second baby boy via c-section this coming friday. Couldn't have worked out better, my baby boy will have a brother to play with. It is considered to be best if babies are born no longer than 2 years apart because of the risks of jealousy..lol.

Answer 5

We started trying for our second right after my daughter turned one.  It took us 18 months and I am now 6 months pregnant with #2.

It took us 10 years to have our daughter so we knew time was not on our side!

Answer 6

We started trying for number 2 when our son was 4, our daughter was born when he was 5.  And with number 3, we started right after our daughter turned 4, so there are 4 years between our 2 daughters.  And for me, I love the age difference.  I only have one baby in diapers, and my kids get a long great.
