If you can afford another baby then I think its great, I plan on having 2 children very close together I think it will be wonderful when they grow up.
In my year at school there were 2 sisters who were 11 months apart that was really strange, (catholic family - not that im saying that explains anything but you know it does)
It may be harder on your body and your relationship may have some strain if your not *100%* in love but you should talk to your doctor about risks

My youngest children are 12 months apart. I got pregnant when my daughter was 3 months old. It was difficult when they were babies, although I almost can't remember what it was like. They are 3 and 4 now. When they were babies, everything was done in 2's. 2 bottles, 2 diapers, 2 of everything. Oh, and waking up at night twice as much. BUT, now that they are bigger, I wouldn't have it any other way. I love them being so close. Yes, it is difficult sometimes for me....but not for them. They do fight occasionally, but for the most part they are SO close. They sleep together, play together...even cry together if the other one is in trouble. They are very protective over each other. They want to do everything together. they like the same stuff and are interested in the same toys and movies since they are so close in age. I love it, but it may not be for some people. It is stressful sometimes, but to me the rewards outweigh the stress.
OH.....it was hard on my body. My immune system was a little weak for a couple of years afterward, but I'm back to normal! I was very tired with my 2nd pregnancy. My body was worn out and I was taking care of an infant. But, me and my baby were healthy afterward and we were fine.

I'm sure it will be hard on your body but pregnancy is like that no matter when you have the baby. You're relationship should be fine as long as its stable and loving right now. I dont think its fair to the little ones though because they will have to share mommy at such a young as that they dont really get to be the baby anymore when really they are still a baby.

My doctor told me to wait at least four months before getting pregnant again and I did. But I kept thinking I was pregnant and kept taking tests and they were all negative. After giving birth it can take a while for your body to get back on track, with all the hormones still floating around your body probably doesn't think it needs to release eggs just yet. Also if you are breastfeeding it can delay you getting your period, it tricks your body into thinking it is already pregnant.
I breast feed and it took eight months before I had my first period after giving birth.

you relationship will be stressed, but it doestn mean it cant survive. Your other child will be fine, though parenting to infants is tough. The worst part of it is the stress on your body, its already depleted and you'd need extra care to make sure you're providing all the babies need to grow and develop.
Also, its just common not to have a period for as long as you have skipped. especially if you're breast feeding, or were breast feeding.

I think it's hardest on you and your body.
Kids that close in age can be very close (like twins), but remember they may be in the same grade or a grade apart and it can be hard on them if the younger one excels at something over the older sibling. I think it's easier if they are at least two years apart, but it doesn't always work out that way!

M y friend had her two children close together and it was hard for her but its something you would have to deal with its not always wise having children close together but it is possible. I think that you would have to ask yourself if you would cope i dont know how many other children you have. Talk to your partner ask him what he thinks. Good luck i am sure you will make the right choice for you both.

My sister and I were 11 months apart. It was so neat to always have a playmate my own age, also when we were in high school we could share clothes. We had fun

It takes 2 full years for your body to recover from a pregnancy. Having children this close together is of great risk to your health. I would consult a doctor in this matter asap.
