How long should I wait to get pregnant again?

Question

I want one more child, I have 3 now, 4 yr old, a 22 month old, and a 4 month old. I am 28 years old, and just found out I have thyroid problems and Anxiety. I am on some meds that may not be safe for the baby. I called in to my Dr. already. I want one more and then I am going to get a tubual ligation, but is it to soon? My husband and I are trying to be safe, but oops...so now the thought of having another baby is great, a gift from God, but is it too soon? Have any of you ladies had a baby this soon?

Answer 1

My sister in law is the best mom I have ever known. She has a 9, 7, 2, and a 6 month old. They tried to space them out so she wouldn't have 4 little ones all at the same time.
If you can handle a newborn with the young children you already have...then go right ahead. But especially with your health in jeopardy, you might want to wait a little while. A woman can only handle so much.

Answer 2

I would wait until you only have one child in diapers, it would save you some stress. Give yourself a chance to settle down and work on your anxiety? Like a year perhaps?

Answer 3

well ask the doctors for if its too soon too have one you dont wanta take the chance of having a child that my be injured due too the meds form your problem.. its a judgemeent call dear you must judge

Answer 4

definately talk to your dr about when its ok to start after being on the meds. when its safe its your personal choice on when you want another.

Answer 5

If you're looking for an answer to such a personal values issue such as this, then you shouldn't ever have any kids, oops, any more kids.

Answer 6

You should really wait until your youngest is at least a year old before you TTC again.
