it's best on your body to space them 2 years apart, but people ignore that advice all the time. Really it's up to you. Do you really like being pregnant that much??

Everyone will have a different opinion on this.
Have another when you feel you are ready to have another.
I have 4 boys and a daughter on the way and they are ages 22, 18, 16, 9 and due in 6 weeks. As you can see I have experienced a wide range of difference in ages and not one age difference is better than the other.
There is pros and cons to either way you go.

It's up to you and your personal, financial, emotional circumstances.
Physically speaking, the uterus takes two years or so to shrink back to its pre-pregnancy size (back to normal). You might want to wait till then to try to get pregnant again. If it's sooner, no harm done-- lots of people get pregnant right away, and have a baby a year after the previous one. I wouldn't want that personally. I have a 3-year-old, and definitely won't be having any more soon. Maybe in another couple of years...

It depends on an individual and where you come from, where I come from we breastfeed for two years, that means no falling pregnant before two years are over.. that gives the children around an interval of three years…
All the same, I think soon as you stop breastfeeding is ok. Get them fast and get over with raising kids early..

you should wait a while cuz your child needs attention and if you have a brand new baby all the attention is going to be on her/him and yeah wait a while at least in till your other child is like 7 or 8 then you will both be happy about your new baby

Wait for 3 years so that your womb can fully recover. But if you can still wait longer, the best is 7 years.

If you and your partner are ready financially and mentally...it doesnt matter. Wait until your baby is two, because when they are one they are cute, bubbly, funny, sweet, then they turn two and you want to run to the doctor and get a hysterectamy. lol But really every two years.
