I got preggers when my oldest was 6 months, my babies are 14 months apart. Never a right time, just DO IT!

Its your decision if your ready. My son is 15 months and I am nowhere near ready. I know I wouldnt be ready to handle a toddler who is a giant bundle of energy and a new born. We are also not financially ready to take on another kid. So if you think you can emotionally/physically/financially handle another baby than I say go for it. There are plenty of pro and cons to having babys close together and far apart.

Only you can decide that. My twins turned one a week ago and we are trying to get pregnant again. We met another couple earlier this week who's twins are 4 and they are waiting awhile yet to have more. One deciding thing for me was that my brother and sister were 11 and 9 years older than me, my other brother was 7 years younger than me. l was waaaayy in the middle and l hated it. So l want my kids to be closer in age.

I haven't planned any of my kids (although after this one I do plan on being done :). The longest gap between my kids is 2 1/2 years. It can be difficult, but the hand me downs are awesome (I have mostly boys) and my kids have all been in "big boy" beds by the time they were 2 without any problem. It really is for you to decide, but it doesn't matter how far apart or close they are... it's when you are ready.

The only people that can really answer that is you and your partner. You guys have to decide if you want another one right now, or if you want to wait a little longer.. You should make a pro and con list and go from there. like for example.. Pro. my daughter will have a brother or sister around the same age. Con all the diapers you go threw. Pro. hand me downs if its a girl. Con. if its a boy all new clothes and toys and two cribs.. well hope it helped.. no one can make that choice but you guys. some ppl have them right after another... some wait a couple years.. its all up to you to... hope all goes well.. and good luck and best wishes!!
