Enjoy your baby. Enjoy everything about it. How about in about 4 years?

Well, I have three kids and they are all kind of close in age. I have a 4 year old, 2 year old and 6 month old. I am 23 years old. I wanted to have them kind of close to get them out of the way. The chose is really up to you. If you really believe you can handle another baby right now, then do it. If not, give yourself some time to think about it and then you and your husband think about what is best for you.

Please wait, it is very hard on your body and your health. A baby can depleat your stores of calcium and other vitamins and minerals and you stomach muscles from the c-section will be weak. If you stretch this area too soon you can have other problems like hernias. Give your body a rest. There should be no rush for you as you are still young.
And your baby needs to spend the first year bonding with you before you start taking time out for pregnancy and another baby to care for. Babies should be about 2 yrs apart to give baby his time with you and time fro your body to get its strength back.
If you do not believe me look at women who have had many children close together. They tend toward being overweight and out of shape and there bones can become brittle and teeth need repair and they get other physical conditions. I know my grandma was one of them.
Please dont rush your baby will be going through many big changes soon in this first year and your baby will need your complete attention.
Good Luck

I had two c-sections, 10 months apart. Wait awhile. Give the new baby a couple years of your undivided attention. My kids are now 19 and 20 and still have sibling rivalry issues. Each thinks I love the other one more. I've always told them, "You're my favorite daughter, and you're my favorite son" (they're all I have). I think the older one thinks I replaced her too soon, and the younger one resents that the older one got privileges sooner, but isn't that much older. It will drive you nuts. Just wait it out. You'll know when its time.

At least 1 and a hlf to two years. That is the given time for people to getting used to having one child and give the body enough time to heal from the first baby. If you have the babies to close together you will have medical problems My sister almost lost her uterus, because of having to many kids to fast.

Congrats! You better enjoy this one.. You are already dealing with the sleepless nights and you husband is probably not helping you at all. The first is the test for your marriage. If he helps then, I would say let's give it two years. My wife and I have four 3 years apart. f you have a child back to back, then you you will be changing double the butts, purchasing double the pampers and trying to feed two kids is a task within itself. Here, say to your husband "It's your turn and leave and go to the mall for a couple of hours...hehehe" Watch his expressions...

Wait a couple years at least,you need to spend some time with your new baby getting to know her and giving her a little time for you all to give ONLY her attention...it would be a little selfish to have a baby so soon after this one...why should you be in such a hurry?...

I had my children almost two years apart (my youngest turned 6 weeks on my oldest 2 birthday). I have found that unlike my sister and my sister-in-laws, my oldest gets along better with my baby then their kids do. It really is up to you but I have found as long as you prepare your oldest for a sibling it works good around two years apart. Just remember it is not easy with a newborn and a toddler so having two infants would be a lot harder.

u should wait until ur c-section scar is healed up. id say wait until ur child is alot older. say 2 yrs. old, that way u have given ur body time to heal. i had a c- section 14 yrs. ago and had my next child when she was 6 yrs. old. i gave my body time to heal. plus if u have one right away ur body will grow weak. i have 2 boys that r 11 months and 2 weeks apart and my body started growing weak, and i have another son who is 3 and my body took its toll during that pregnancy. i dont regret having my 2 boys close in age but my body is dealing with the weakness that it substained from the back to back pregnancies.
