Going to TTC 2 months post-partum.. anyone else?

jessica.p · Dec 13th, 2011, 17:09 PM

Or am I the only one crazy enough to try this? lol Or has anyone done it before? This is my first and DH & I really want our LO's to be close in age. Figured we'd start trying asap as it took 1 1/2 years to conceive and stay pregnant

I say go for it girl!

If I didnt have 2 years left of school, I think I would stay off my pill for good and have as many kids as we could!!

Thanks for the encouragement! It's kind of scary but it's been done so many times before.. I just have to keep telling myself that lol

My friends kids are 11 months apart, they play together all the time! They are a handful but all kids are. The up side is that you never really get out of a phase, and once it's done it's done. Whereas if ur kids are 4 years apart, you do everything allllll over again!! everyone tells me that once you have a baby it's easier to get pregnant.

good luck

your body should be in 'baby' mode so fingers crossed it's not too long a wait. x

Very brave lol!

Just an FYI on the timings you mentioned - I know a lot of people who had a long time ttc #1 but then ttc #2 really quickly. I don't want to get your hopes up in case that doesn't happen, however if you're not actually ready but starting because it'll take a year or more don't be surprised if its quicker.

Yes, we're doing this too. It took us over 2 years to conceive this LO, I had to go through an operation and a miscarriage in that time, so it just seems somehow wrong to prevent pregnancy now.

I had a chat with my consultant about it and he too agrees that we should go for it. He said if we leave it a couple of years I may have to go through the operation again which I want to prevent if possible.

Good luck

Thats what we did after we had our first. I was pregnant again 4.5 months PP. My girls are 12 months 8 days apart. I love having my girls so close in age. They are both wonderful and Ava is great with her little sister. So no you are not alone and not crazy.
