when to TTC again..

[TeenMom06/09]

hi everyone!
so i am a teen mommy, im 17 and i have a 2 1/2 month old son.
my question is, if you were a teen mom, when did u TTC agian?

i will graduate next december at the latest.
and drey will be 1 1/2 then.
i will be 18 1/2 if i tried again of december of next year.
and considering i got pregnant the first try, i wouldnt have the
baby till i was 19, and drey was over 2.

is that a good age to have another baby?
i dont want drey to be confused, and hate that baby..
but i would really like them to be close in age!

i will be going to a community college, and they help
you with a job. so i will continue getting my education
and i will have a job. so were covered finacialy.
plus my SO's job.

so im just looking for yalls opinions!!

thanks,
Meghan

Personally I had LO when I was 19.. I think I will TTC when she's 3 or 4.

I need to move out of my parents' house,
I need to figure out my career (I think I want to work at home or work part time- still don't know exactly what I want to do though, and I'll have to train),
OH is considering a job switch,
I would like to get married before I have another baby.

I had my daughter at 19 and I am not WTT and will be trying in May 2010. I have actually been TTC for the last 11 months with no joy. So after lots of tears and negative pregnancy tests my fiance decided to book us a family holiday away so I am on a break from TTC for a while.

I personally think that you should get all the things that you need to do done first and just enjoy your little one and then you will know when the time is right to try for another. x

I think it's good that you're waiting til you graduate, and 2 is a fine age gap. Truth is, only you know whether or not you're ready.
I think if I were you I'd wait a little while to settle in to life after graduating, then think about it. As Aimees/Mummy said, get everything you want to do first out of the way so you can really concentrate on your LOs.
At 2, your eldest LO is probably old enough to help out and feel a part of his little brother/sister's life, though they'll probably still fight until they're about 14 lol!
Best of luck, hope everything goes well for you both! xx

thank you ladies, its makes me feel better yall dont think its a bad idea to have 2 children while im still a 'teen'.
i deff. want to get everything out of the way first!
and as of today i started BC, i would really like to conceive in the future, because
me and SO want to, not because its a surprise!
its gives me something to look forward to!!

again thank you ladies for your opinions!

Hi!

I had my first at 18 I'm 20 now. I'm also married and have a place of my own & TTC#2. If you feel as if you've done "all you needed to do" by that time, I say go for it!
