Should we try to have another baby soon?

Question

Well, ok heres my story. Maybe give me your pro's and con's. So Im able to weigh all differences when bringing this up to my husband. I already have one daughter she turned 2 end of march, Im 18 happily married to a man a bit older than me with a very decent job. we just bought our first house in dec. I do not work right now but would like to take some night classes for something. we live decent, some days were tight on money and some we can spend. i feel that now would be as good a time as any to have another and in a sense get it out of the way so i can stay home with that child too and then go to work when theyre both a bit older. My husband also has a low sperm count and i feel we will be TTC for a while anyhow. It took a year last time. Im posting more details as soon as i ask this question so dont answer yet please!

Answer 1

2 years is a good time to fall pregnant with your second or atleast start trying. My daughters are only 18 months apart and im glas they are close in age and i get out of the baby stage all at once and like you get to stay at home with both of them before i put my degree to work. You could def fit in some weekend/night/internet classes. pace yourself with school beacause you will be busy who cares how long it takes you have the time. If you both want another one i would say go for it, you sound stable enough to bring another life into the mix. good luck.

Answer 2

sounds like a tough decision. sorry to hear about medical problems i can understand that would make you want to try soon. money trouble will always come and go it is life and it makes everything hard if we all waited for money trouble to end we would never get anything done. i have a 8yr old and a 2yr old both girls its awsome challenging still. i also help my sister out w/my nephew hes 1 1/2 very much like a boy gets into trouble for hitting and biting the close ages w/him and my youngest makes it even more challenging so thats something to consider as well some people can do it and i tip my hat to them  i know personally it tests my patiences everyday and exhausting. i'm not saying no or yes to your question that is up to u and ur hubby just enjoy life and each other. health issues makes it hard and scary i wish you the best at what ever you do.

Answer 3

yea try it if u want its all on u

Answer 4

No

Adopt if you must have another child.

And, why are you even considering having another when you're tight on money sometimes?

I suppose you're probably still making payments on the house too, right?

You don't need another kid.

Spend all your extra time educating yourself more.

You need it.

Answer 5

Oh my, you started trying for a child at the age of 14 or 15? That's super young! You were still a child and had to give up your childhood.

That's great that you are happily married, but I think your best bet is to figure out your budget. Write down the costs of formula, diapers, food, etc. and see if you can afford another baby. You may not be able to afford going out to eat, but you will be too tired to do that anyway for the first year.

Answer 6

i think you should just go for it even if your partner doesn't want to because after to start trying they will want to do this even more because they feel so comfortable with you and your objects of having s*x to get pregnant. :)

Answer 7

I say go for another.
