You should wait until your youngest is AT LEAST a year old, just to give your body time to bounce back.

I think you should wait until your youngest is almost potty trained, that way you won't be buying so many diapers. Just make sure you space them far enough apart that you get to spend a lot of time watching your youngest grown up. If they are too close you might miss out on milestones and special moments.

I have always heard that it is better to wait until 18 months after having a child to decrease the risk of a miscarriage on the 2nd child. You body needs time to heal from having the first child before working on the 2nd!

Docs will usually tell you to wait about a year before trying again - you need this long to recover from the pregnancy and child birth - but lots of women dont. I guess it's up to you.

it depends how many others there are. I have a 1 year old, a 2 year old, and a 3 year old. I can deal with them, but barely! They're a handful! So, if you have three or more others close in age, I'd wait a little bit before trying again!

wait a couple of months. or dont wait at all . If u can handle 2 kids with ur husband, job, family, etc... then DONT WAIT. its up to u and ur husbands choice.

well you can try as soon as you ovulate. but after a pregnancy your body looses a lot of its vitamins. they say that it recovers after 2 years. but it seem that nobody hears that. ask your doctor you can have a baby of course, but don't you want your baby be as healthy and smart as possible? my sister though and i have a year between us and she is healthy and quite smart.
