i want another baby...?

Question

i am a single mom of a 5 1/2 year old. i am going crazy thinking about having another baby! i love my daughter so much, but there is something about a baby. i am seeing this guy and really could see us being married. i am waiting to have sex until marriage this time! when is it too late to have a baby again? what is a too big of an age gap between children?

Answer 1

The age difference between children could be 5, 10, 15, 20 years! More might create some thinking, but there is no limit!
This case is YOUR inner decision!

Answer 2

I htink you're in the best position here, cuz your daughter is 5 and she will not need such close watch as a baby does.. It all depends on your age... I wouldn't have kids over 40 but it's possible even then... 5 is not a great gap, 12 is a bit too much I htink cuz they don't get to enjoy each other that long and really bond, but even 12 is allright, you will have a responsible sitter for the baby... it makes it easier that way.
I totally beleive you should wait until marriage! You'll enjoy the motherhood better, provided you married the right guy...

Answer 3

Then have one, easy as that. There is no too late really, just as long as you don't wait too long, 5 1/2 years is not a large age gap, my friend has a 26 year old sister, and she is like 13

Answer 4

There's never too big of an age gap. All my siblings are within 2 years of each other, and some of my friends have a 10 year space between their ages. They get along with them just as well as we do.

Answer 5

I have 3 kids. 7, 3, 8 months. I have a cousin that was 13 years younger than her brother. My best friend was 22 when little brother was born. Don't worry about an age gap.

Answer 6

Women are having babies in their 40's these days just know the risk of complications and birth defects goes up significantly.As far as the age gap I have a sister that is 13 years older than I am and it was great we never fought.Good luck.

Answer 7

My husband and his sister are 7 years apart. They aren't very close at all. I mean he loves her but he's more of a parent figure then brother. My brother and I are 5 years apart and while we weren't close as kids we really are now. Actually we got really close as teens.

Of course, life give you lemons and you can either have lemons or make a light, fluffy, lemon pie. Honey, don't worry about this, Kids grow apart then back together, it'll all be fine, you do what you need to do and trust that in the end, you'll have made a pie! (okay, I know it's supposed to be lemonade but pie is so much better!)

Answer 8

not to be rude (sincerely i really mean it). but you haven't been dating this guy for long have you???? and you're talking about marriage and babies?? and i'm really not trying to sound rude, but you need to get over some of your issues. (i don't care what anyone says, but trying to play the role of a sweet innocent virgin after having a 5 year old kid. just, well it's kind of sad. i have to wonder about this guy. he hasn't known you for more than a few weeks, or he has some issues. there's no guy that's going to date some woman who has a kid already and wants to play the "i wanna wait till i'm married" role after clearly letting other guys pile on).

Answer 9

Well don't do like I did my kids are 7 years apart and it's like what was I thinking if I could do it over again I would have had them not more that 2 years apart.

Answer 10

There is no such thing as too big of a gap :). Just make sure you are ready, and that you explain it to your previous child in ways he/she is capable of understanding.
