Please Help. I need your advice.

I think that you know better than your husband. It is your body and you will have to cope with being pregnant while not getting enough sleep with your child now. I would talk to your husband and tell him that if you go along with your plans, then he has to be the one to get up in the middle of the night with your child now. Then see what he thinks.

I think it would be good for you and your husband to start on your second child. What your 15 month old is going through is normal and will soon pass. You will be able to rest and relax. By the time you have your next child this will only be a memory.

well i cant tell you what to do but if you wait until your first baby turns two years old then they will be close till them being apart 2 years.my daughter has a 16 month old and they are already trying to have another with out the excepion of him sleeping all night i agree you should wait until this problen is straight out.then proceed to the next step.

[i]Hi glords, it will not be fair to you and your baby soon if you will stick to the plan and they not healthy and 100% ready for that! You need to be flexible when it comes to this matter and wait for the right time so that there will be no complications along the way or psychological effect on the baby![/i]

As what you said that you are streesed out with lacking sleep. So i suggest that you stick to your old plane, to get pregnant after two years. You need to get back your health before anything elese. Two years gap between kids is ideal so that you have time to recover your health and can look after your kids properly and in healthy way.Happy myloting.

Hi , i advice you both , you please think about second after 1- 2 years apart . Basically your 1st child also need your attention . up to that time you will also be mentally prepared for it. your health will be fine too.

I would wait until your first child gets on a regular sleep schedule. Does your husband get up at all to help get your child back to sleep? If not he should not be the one to have a say at all. It's your body and you need to take care of it. He is not the one to be carrying the baby..you are. Yep I would wait a while in my opinion.

i suggest that you not go on with pregnancy first at this stage because babies can be very tiresome...i speak from my own experience..i have 3 kids and their age gaps are very close..like i got pregnant when my baby boy was only 5 months old..try to imagine the difficulty i have to go through...no sleep at all.

Your health is very important! My advice for you would be for you to talk to your childs doctor about things that you may be able to do to help the child sleep, first. The age difference between them is good, now! If you put too many years between them they won't really play together that much. I found that if I gave my child a bath, then fed them a warm meal, they slept better.

I suggest at night let your baby have his bottle or food just before sleeping time and give him/her a bath with lavender oil to calm him/her down. Don't stimulate him/her too much in the evening, as this will affect his/her sleeping. Always try and put him down the same time. Also make turns with your husband during the night so that you can get some rest. It is also crucial to eat right, take vitamins, get enough sleep and exercise for a healthy mind and body.

I think your kid is still too young to have either a brother or a sister. As much as possible, please stick to your plans. Two-year gap is quite good. Please make you sure that if you got pregnant, your recent problem will not complicate. Please ask your husband not to be in a hurry. You still have a lot of time.

tell your husband to hold on. Your body needs rest... I have no planning like yours. But I have an eleven months apart daughters..quite fun to raise them since they are closely apart...and then we had another child 14 years later... My principle is to enjoy what you have. You are not a robot..planning is fine...but dont be too serious about it

I understand your situation, it's really hard to take care of a little one... if you are planning to have another baby tell to your husband to cooperate, so that everything you should be balance. YOur health and your both desire to have another baby. Health is very important specially if someones needs full hands on job to your love one.

i think you should do what you want. its your body not his. unless he is prepared for getting pregnant and carring a child for 9 months w/ the burden of taking care of another child, he has no choice

I suggest you do just what you are thinking. Let your body cope first with what you went through. Enjoy your child as of now. Times are hard. Also, your 15 month old will be able to understand the meaning of being an older child.

About your 15 month old child, make sure she drinks her milk before she goes to bed and give her a nice warm sponge bath. That should relax her and give her a massage in the legs as well or if not the legs on their chest with baby oil. I think it's about time for you to have your next child. Remember your first born needs somebody to play with when she grows up in a few years. Anyway, the newborn baby will you keep you up as well all night lol. You probably just need to eat right and probably you need drink your vitamins. You still have to take of yourself so you can take of your baby. Good luck!

I think you need to talk with your husband and make him understand where you are comming from. If he wants to continue on with trying to have another child, he needs to step up and help more so that you can get some sleep. If he really wants to have the 2nd then he needs to offer some solutions to help you cope and get more sleep. People need sleep, even mommies!!!!

our boys are 2 1/2 years apart and i love it, but everyone is different. about the sleeping problem, though, i have a feeling that almost all kids go through that. my oldest is 3 1/2 and when he was around that age he also started having problems sleeping... would kick and scream when we put him down for the night, would wake up in the middle of the night, etc. almost all of the moms i talked to about this (as well as his doctor) said that it is a very common thing that children go through. what do you do when your child wakes up? you really should limit the amount of time you spend with him/her when he/she wakes up in the middle of the night. my son's doctor told me to go in the first time and tell him to lay down, that it was not time to get up yet, etc. if he keeps crying do not go back in the room right away. wait a bit. then the next time you go in just tell him "sshhhh" and give the child a kiss and lay him back down. the next time you go in, do not say a word to him- just lay him back down and give him a kiss and leave. keep doing this, only make the time a little longer that you wait before you go in the room. make sure that you are not talking any more than that. the same goes for if he/she is getting out of bed- just keep picking him up and bringing him back to bed without a word (after those first few times). i know it stinks, but trust me, it is a phase that should not last very long. as far as your plans to have another baby right now, only you and your husband can answer that. i would tell you that if it something you want, don't put your plans on hold because of this. your child will be long over this phase before your second child comes, i am sure! :) good luck!

I suggest if you feel like you should wait that is just what you should do. I had my little ones very close together I have three and my last two are 15 months apart and I was ran ragged all through my last pregnancy. The only up side to it is that your little ones are close in age which gives them time to grow a good bond but then again two years apart doesn't make much different as they grow older. Plus you don't end up potty training two at one time lol.

Be yourself.I think health is everything. you can have another child when your first baby is four or five years-old.
