WTT 3 months after number 1 was born..

[cherryglitter]

Hi girlies.
Im waiting to try at the beginning of November. (Anyone need a buddy!?)

Jake will be around 4 months old. I really want another little one and there's nothing really stopping us from doing it

Im on anti-biotics for 3 months at the moment, ones you can't fall pregnant on so they're kinda keeping me from ttc.

People keep saying that I should wait a looong time before having another one. I don't understand why
It's driving me crazy!xx

If your in a good place to do it then go for it.
Im wanting my next one as well but we agreed to wait till next November that way Brian will be just over 2 and we should have moved into a bigger place by then.

I'm WTT till November 1st Although for our first babe.

People are funny about when they think you should have kids, in my experience...

I'm kkind of NTNP already! I'd love another LO soon, as I've always been close with my 2 sisters (just over a year gap between each one) and I would love for Emma to have that relationship with a sibling. Also, I do miss being pregnant, and love looking after Emma, it has been a lot easier than I expected, and I'm sure I could deal with 2.
However, as I am breastfeeding, I don't expect to get pregnant any time soon. After trying 15 months for Emma, I don't think I could deal with the heartache of officially ttc again. Plan is just to NTNP and see what happens!

its no one elses business hun, there is 1 year between my oldest 2 who are 5 and 4. and there is 15 months between my youngest who are 18mths and 3 months. Now i have people telling me that i shouldnt have any more, I dont listen, its between me and my husband no one else. My kids are well cared for. They are so close its just lovely to watch them together.

I think the reason people are telling you to wait is cause it is alot of work to have one right after the other. I know cause my sister did that and her daughters are 5 yr and 4 yr and she has her hands full and doesn't get to go out with her husband, they never get a break unless they are down visiting us. So having kids one after the other is really not a good thing unless you want to pay loads of money for their schooling when they want to go to college. And as my mom told me and my sister you wont get sleep til you are 40 yrs old

My parents had 9 kids - one set of twins.
I'm 2 years older than my brother and we were best of friends growing up, we played together all the time and hung out together.
My sister is 4 years younger than my brother, but our other sister is a year under her - they are now and have always been best friends. They are inseperable. As are the next two down, a boy and girl a year apart, and of course the twins. Just one of us isn't part of a "set", but with everyone else someone is always there for him
I'd love for the two we're planning to have to be 2 years apart, and I know that my best friend is planning to have 4, with two years between each (so far so good, she's at 2 girls ).

Well honey I'm not expecting to get a good night's sleep until I'm at least 40, and I know my momma at 43 still doesn't. You have to expect that as a mom - no matter how many kids you have or how close in age they are.

Im from the UK so luckily don't have to worry about the paying for school side of things. x

you do whats best for your family some people struggle with just 1 child and others manage brillantly with 10. I have 4 aged 5 and under and i love it so do whats right for u! x x

 

[lynnikins]

i had 2 under 2 for a while lol not that hard really you adjust to it quickly, definatly not as hard as the change from none to one was lol that really turned my life upside down but we are wtt till Feb our youngest will be 1 in march so not a huge age gap just a little less than our current one if we get our BFP right away

 

[mrscupcake]

I'm broody already, and would ttc now but got a midwifery course to complete so wtt til feb-march time I think. But can't believe how negative some people have been when I've said about having another close together, one of my best friends thinks because she has a 8 year age gap that a shorter one is wrong and that I'm taking all my attention away from my son?!? It's nice to hear so many ppl on here saying how close their kids are with a shorter age gap, and I reckon it saves money if anything because you hve all brand new baby stuff which can be reused and still up to date and in trend etc. Go for it!

If you are ready then go for it hun! DH wants to start TTC again next month and our baby is only 13 weeks. Personally I don't want tham that close in age so we have a little bit of talking to do lol but if it works for you then why not do it x x x x
