its entirely up to you, me and my partner are trying again new year which meand our son will be 14months he will then be over 2 by the time we have another . however my son at this age i wouldn't want to try just yet he is 9months old and it is a difficult age especially if you were pregnant aswell xx

2 years onwards, my kids are 2 years & 9 month apart, I was still find it difficult to cope with a newborn & a toddler. I wouldn't have it before 2 years, that;'s my advise, but see how you go yourself, whenever you think your body is ready for another baby.

That is up to you. If you can afford another child, then start trying whenever you feel is appropriate. From a medical standpoint, majority of doctor's tell you to at least wait 6 months if you can before concieving another child to let your body heal if you had a natural birth. If you had a c-section they like you to at least wait a year. It actually takes two full years for a body to heal from having a baby. It is all up to what you and your significant other think you can handle physically, emotionally, and financially.

I believe the best way on your body would be to wait a year at least. they say it can take up to a full yr for your body to completely recover from pregnancy and labor, due to a lot of things like lack of nutrition, etc.

The decission is ultimately up to you & your partner. Although most medical practitioners will recommend waiting until 9months to a year to make that sort of decission to give your body and hormones a chance to go back to normal.

It depends on what you feel is right, and how much you can handle at once. As long as you have the patience and strength to handle two babies in diapers and dependent on you at times, at the same time, then you're an amazing woman. But keep in mind that your body needs time to restore all the drained nutrients from your previous pregnancy. Doctors recommend waiting a year before conceiving again. Do some research on the medical aspect too (not just sibling relations), and talk to your doctor before you decide.

It is all up to you and how far apart you want your kids. I have 2 girls that are aproximately 2 1/2 years apart, my youngest girl and my oldest boy are 16 months apart and my boys are 5 years and 2 months apart. So I have the whole range covered. My oldest 3 are really close. They also fight a lot. especially since my 7 year old daughter is as mature as my 9 year old daugher so she doesn't like to have her little brother who she is closer in age to hanging around. I personally like having them so close. I wouldn't change it for the world. If I had it my way there probably would've been two more in between the 5 year old and 9 month old.

My daughter is 6 months and we are trying for our second...so I say whenever you want! I want my kids to be close together so that they have a paymate and a friend. My sister is 18 months younger than me and we are still great friends!
