My daughter is 5 months old and I am dying ot have another baby to "complete" our family. I have always wanted my children very close in age due to the fact that mi sister and I are 10 years apart and we feel like strangers. I don't want that for my children. My husband and I argeed on trying for another when my daughter is around 10-12 months but for some reason I want another so bad right now. He talked to him about it and he is totally against it. We have the finacial ablilty to support us, my daughter and another child so I don't know what the problem is. Any advice out there???

I say fully bond with your beautiful daughter and allow your body to finish healing before you start trying. I agree that 10 years is too long but 20 months is perfect. I believe that if you force the idea on your husband and do become pregnant again, he could start resenting you and not even mean to. It's too much of a risk right now by the sounds of it. Relax and enjoy this time that you have with the little one and know that God will grant you another child when he is ready; not you :) Good luck

Our plan was to wait until she was abour 10 months to try for another so that would put her at 20 months (which is almost 2 years old) when the new baby would be born, but for some reason I changed up everything. I still honestly can't tell you why I feel this way about wanting our next one so badly right now but I do. Maybe something is wrong with me...:)

wait til he is ready let your body heal and enjoy this one you can never get the time back just cause the money is there does not mean there are other issue stress and rebuild your relationship after the first child because when the kids are gone and you dont even no your spouse any more ends the relationship ask him about when she a year to a year and a half but dont do it just cause you want to make it as a team its yall against the world dont throw him under the bus it can do more damage then good stay blessed and i hope it help if not keep talking to him
