Babies

It is depend on you. It depends if you are ready or not...first, financial and second who take care the kid and finally, your age. If you dont have any problem with any of these then 3 years a part is great to have another one. they are kind of close to each other and they will spend most of their times together... fun time. and Good luck to you. If dont want to prevent pregnancy, you should find some solution on birth control. Dont take any chance if you are not ready, innocent life is in your hand.

I think it all depends on your personal situation. I have a 9-month old daughter and I'm in no way ready to have another baby yet. I have read that your body is most ready to carry another baby 18 months after your child is born. Having babies close in age has positives and negatives, so I'm sure you'll get mixed responses. But, personally, I want to wait another year to year and a half before getting pregnant again. That way, they are close in age, but I get a chance to enjoy my daughter and not have to juggle 2 little ones just yet. Besides that, babies are expensive and I think people need to consider their financial situation when deciding to expand their family.

Honestly it is all on how you feel about it. I had my children 22 months apart. I feel like I had mine at a good age apart. My daughter was at the age where it was fun to help me and get a diaper and baby wipe and she could walk good. I think that would be one big thing to consider would be how it would be to have two children and more than likely have to tote them both at the same time. But honestly it all depends on how you feel.

That depends completely on you. You have to be emotionally ready first. Don't let anyone or anything pressure you into getting pregnant again, if it's not something you are emotionally ready for. If it just happens, then try and go with the flow, but planning a pregnancy when YOU are not ready, can be very detrimental to your emotional health, which will eventually trickle down to your son and the new baby and others in your life. Good Luck! Take Care!

i think that it really depends on the situation your in and what you think or want. since you really don't seem to want another kid right now then wait. he may want one, but you already have one to take care of. I'm not sure what his role is in taking care of your son. I have a 9 month old and could not imagine another baby right now. I want to wait until she is at least 2 to have another one. That's just me though. I don't think i could handle two kids at once that close to the same age. I would probably pull out all of my hair and lock myself in the bathroom crying daily! I don't handle stress very well so one kid is plenty for me right now. Like i said, it all depends on the situation and what you think that you could handle right now in your life.

This is a personal choice. If you were that happy to not be pregnant again, I would say you and your body aren't ready to get pregnant again. Pregnancy is a trauma for your body and it messes with you mentally because of hormones. Having children 2 years apart is the best situation because they have someone to interact with and they aren't so close in age that the routines will interfere with each other.

hi scarletalston, well if you are having children then i would want my children at least 2 years apart so they can grow up together.some people wait longer but really it,s up to you.if you feel you are ready to proceed to having another it,s your choice.

I think the right time is different for everyone to be honest, i have my eldest daughter in march 2004 then her sister in march 2006 its been perfect but when we have another our yo9ungest will be at least 4 coming up for 5 years old because i co0uldnt cope with that age gap again its really hard work!

I would not have less than 3 years between my children - 6 years was great! I have 22 months between my two first and it was not easy at all. Or I would wait forever - one child was so easy *lol* I don't understand why he was upset about it at all - it's not him that was goning to be pregnant for 9 months along with taking care of a baby nor give birth to a baby and take care of two babies with different needs!

I think at least nine months. It takes nine months to carry and deliver a baby and about nine months for your body to really get back to normal. Nine in and Nine out was something that my doctors all told me when I was pregnant. Before getting pregnant again, regardless of how the man feels, be sure that you are ready. Having one baby is hard enough, and getting pregnant again makes life a bit more complicated. There are a lot of things for you to consider and you should really look at both sides of it, the good an the bad. Ultimately, the right time to have another baby is up to you.

It all depends on yourself. I have given birth to three kids myself. I had my first then it was 5 years later before I had my next child then it was only 6 month later when I found out that I was pregnant with my third. So my second and third are only a year and three months apart. It was not that easy to have the two kids so close together but it was not that bad. I also have some step kids though. So now all the kids ages are close. They are 18,17,16,15,14,9 and 8. It was kind of nice having the kids close in age though.

I think it is purely your choice.If you and your partner are planning to have a baby and if you think that your physical health is compatible to have another baby then go ahead and have a baby.You have to be mentally prepared for the pregnancy .Your age,age of your son,relationship with your current partner,financial status are the other things which need your attention while having a baby.

Wel I th that question depends a lot on you. Are you ready to have another one? Judging by your reaction to the pregnancy test, I have to say that you aren't quite ready yet. That is NOT a bad thing, in fact I congradulate you on knowing that you are not ready. I understand that your boyfriend might want more children but what he needs to understand is that if you aren't ready and you have another one, not only will you be hurting yourself, you'll be hurting the children as well. I had my first daughter when I was 23 and I had my second daughter about 10 months later. They aren't even a year apart. I love my daughters very much and I have a lot of experience raising children. My mother is a child care giver and I have helped her raise more children than I can count so when I found out that I was pregnant, my husband and I were pretty sure that everything would be fine. When we found out about the second one, we were a little more weary. We were afraid that we wouldn't be able to spend enough time with both children, or provide for them, just the regular things that parents worry about. I know now that our fears were silly, you can never really prepair yourself for parenting. There are always going to be surprises and the important thing to remember is that as long as you try your best and ask for help when you don't know what to do, having children is a joy. When you are ready for another one, you will know. Good luck and congradulations.

I have two children. My children are 5 years apart almost to the day. We wasn't expecting our second for we'd not planned on having another after our first. There are times that I wish our second would have come in the picture earlier so we wouldn't have had to start all over. We had just gotten back to being a couple and not sleeping in shifts, and now it's back to that. I would have to say, if we'd planned on having another after our first, we would have had the baby about two years different, at least have the first out of diapers, and stuff.

I think most physicians reccomend at least 18 months at the least before getting pregnant again. my kids are seven years apart but that is not by choice. That is due to some medical problems thatprevented m from bcoming pregnant any sooner. My plans were to have thm 3 years apart so that one could be fairly self sufficient when the other came along. But I wouldn't rush it for any reason other than when YOU are ready. After all YOU are going to be the primary caregiver and that is hard to take care of two babies at the same time.
