Should we wait for a while to have another baby?

Question

I am married with a 15 month son, we live on a 3rd floor flat (which is quite arkward), and were currently trying for a baby. My mum says we should wait until we move house to have another baby-(weve been to the council and they've told us we're looking at 5-6 years waiting before they can house us). We dont want that much of an age gap between our babes, and it took me 8 months to fall pregnant for my son, and i could take longer next time. What's your opinion? anyone had the same experience? two babes in a flat?

Do you reckon we'll cope ok? THanks

Answer 1

Just do it!

Answer 2

You have to do what is best for you and no one else.  Your mother will not be the raising your family.  It is you and your husband.  You all need to decide as couple  what is best.

As far as age... I think that would be a good.  I am saying this because I am 5 wks pregnant and my husband and I have a 15 month old.  To make it more interested, the second child will have the same due date as the first.  Isn't that cool.

We were nervous at first, but the fact is we decided that our family unit and finances can handle another child, even if we live in a 2 bedroom second floor apartment.  My family thinks we are crazy too, but guess what they are not raising our children and I have heard nothing less then great job about our first.

That being said... If you and husband want a child... You and your husband should have a child.

Answer 3

If you want to make it work it can . just organize better and be creative with space.

Answer 4

I'd wait... either you or your partner should get a job and then earn a house without getting a council place, if you need the council to house you then you obviously dont have that much money and another child will not help this matter.

Answer 5

Wait for a house

Answer 6

I'll say you should have a baby now, is better to have your children close on age, the house is coming anyways so why wait...like you said it might take you longer to conceive....
