My husband and I would like to try in December again, when my daughter will be about 6 months old. I have a 10-year-old too, but would like to have another baby, mainly because I want more children, but because of the 10 year gap between my son and daughter now, I'd like for her brother or sister to be close in age. My own age is a factor too, I'll be 35 soon, and do not want to go past 40 to have kids.

Yep, DH and I are considering it too.....

DS will be 6 months at the end of December, I'm 29 and want to be finished having children by the time I turn 32. :) It may sound crazy, but what the heck?!? :)

We're still thinking about it though----dh and I would like to retire eaarly too. hehehe

I like the idea of not having another baby until this one is out of diapers and off to school, but then again, I don't I want to have another baby at 33---too late for me. :)

Anyone else?

My husband is older than I at 41 and we had a girl in April and we are done. One is enough for us. We have goals yet that we can to reach as well as teach our daughter everything we possibly can.

I do have a cousin who is having her third, she is married, and she is 24. She wants to have them and be done. She is a far more brave and patient woman than I am!

sometimes i think i want another one. i have two sons, 7yrs and 3mos. although if i have another i don't want it to be so far apart in age as my first two are, i just don't think i could handle having two in diapers at the same time, you know? and im just now getting my body back to looking halfway decent... the idea of putting it through another pregnancy so soon makes me shudder.

omg i cringed and tears came to my eyes just reading the title of this post! lol! i do want more children but i know that i certaintly cant handle another one any time soon! i had originally wanted four but after having my first in april i am thinking maybe just two! lol! i am still relatively young though (22) and am not much in a hurry. i am thinking at least four years in between. god bless all you mothers out there who can handle children like that!

Nope, I'm waiting until Ava is weaned before I get pregnant again. She's only 6 months old, which is way too early to wean if I got pregnant, and I'm not interested in tadem nursing. Plus, it's possible that my milk could dry up from being pregnant, and I'm not willing to take that risk. She's too young to go without mama's milk.

I think there is a reason nature naturally spaces our children out. I think we should invest the first couple of years to one child before introducing another. Baby's require a lot of time and energy, and it takes our body's all we have to produce enough sustinence for them. I'm not messing with nature.

i am waiting as i want to appreciate all of ds young years. plus childcare for 2 would cost a fortune, also oi am pleased to hav my body back after 9 months of torture. plus i am undecided wheather we will ever have more after my pg health probs i am still awaiting more info which i am sure will help me weigh up the health risks. i am 28 dh is 35 i figure we can wait 4 years or so

i have a 4 year old and a 13.5 month old. they are 9 days from being exactly 3 years apart. i love it. Landen is old enough to understand that he will have to wait a second. and he is so much help, like getting me a diaper or entertaining Brayden in the car ,not that i depend on him to do things. i also love the fact that i didn't have 2 on the bottle/breast or 2 in diapers or even 2 in cribs. i don't think i could have done it. i think it is neat to have them close together when they are older, but you have to survive the infant years first. which i'm sure is really hard. i think about it when i'm out by myself getting them out of the car and into a grocery cart, how would i do it if they were any closer. at least Landen can unbuckle himself and walk beside me if he has to.
we are planning on having one more (hopefuly a girl :)) but we are planning on waiting till brayden is about 2 before we start trying.
it also helps if you plan it right, because of when my boys were born (both in july) then i could were all my maternity clothes again, they were the right season, as were all the clothes from Landen. we have saved hundreds, probably thousand on hand me downs. you know how fast kids grow. some of the outfits Landen never wore or only wore once. this is of course if you have the same sex.
well good luck to all of you who wish to have little ones soon. it will be hard work, but you can do it.

I have a 14 month old son and I am currently 8 weeks pregnant and I am soooo nervous. I had baby fever since DS was about 6 months old but had decided to wait until DS turned 2 to start trying but obviously thats not the way it worked out. I am very nervous to have 2 little ones that are so dependent on me, DS is weaned but still in diapers and the crib, he will be almost 2 when I have my second. I am so scared but i see women who do it all the time and I knew I wanted more so I minus well get it over with as quickly as possible. I am still in the baby mind frame you know. I am definatly more nervous this time around though, I guess cause I know everything that can go wrong.

We have 2 children who are almost 3 years and 2 months apart. Ds#1 was an experience from hell when it came to labour and he was very stressed at birth and then breastfeeding was a nightmare. Needless to say I figured I'd only handle it once more. While pg with ds#2 I felt the same way but then he came along and was such a wonderful baby (despite an emergency c-section delivery he was a way healthier baby at birth). Now I think I want another but I want about 2-2.5 years between them. Actually my OB has told me I have to wait 2 years or so due to having the section.
I agree with Weepy and North...I want to enjoy those years with my little ones. I could not imagine being pregnant while ds#1 had been under 2. He's a busy, bright little boy who wants attention and was just a joy to be with. I couldn't have done the things I did with him if I was pregnant...I just don't have enough energy when pg for that!!!
I do think we'll aim for closer to 2 years apart this time though as I doubt I'll have the desire to go through it again if I wait too long...the older they get the easier they are and then you get to the point of not wanting to go down that super dependent stage again.

I had a planned c-section last September and was ready to have another baby a week later! Fortunately I had a great pregnancy and DD has been a little angel (most of the time). We decided to wait at least 6 months before TTC, then decided to move house, so we put it off a bit longer. I don't want to be pregnant or dealing with 2 babies when we move. We should be moved by the end of the year and ready to TTC again. I will be 40 in December, but I don't have any worries about being an older mum, as long as we are able to conceive again before my body succumbs to the menopause. If it does, so be it, we'll be happy with our DD, but ideally I don't want her to be an only child.
