We are going to soon start trying for another child. We have a two year old and we want to start trying for #2. Which brings me to my question. Should you plan to start trying for the second child if you know there is a possibility you could get pregnant the same month that you got pregnant with your first child. I mean, if my husband and I get pregnant at the end of this month, my due date will be the same as it was for my first. Do you think it would be wrong to start trying now, or wait awhile. Everyone thinks I should wait b/c they say each child should have their own birth month. The children will be exactly 3 years apart.

No way! I say if you want to try for another baby go ahead! You never know how long it will take, or how easy it will be. Some things you just can't control. It took a while for me to get pregnant with my first child. I ended up wishing I had started sooner. I had my son in April 2006 and I am now pregnant with my second child, which was a surprise. She is due in May. My point is you never know where or when you will be bestowed with such a wonderful gift! Just go with it and best of luck!

I don't think it matters you might not get pregnant straight away. when my husband and I started trying I was so concerned that I didn't want a scorpio that we stopped trying for those cycles now a year and a bit later and Im here again if I concieved this month it would be a scorpio but I don't care any more I just want a bub. As long as you make sure each child knows its special it doesn't need it own month. I've known brother and sister that have the same birthday and they were fine they liked it even the mum had the same birthday and the dad was a day after (spooky)
good luck.... =)

Well, just because you try doesn't mean it will happen. It took me 7 months to finally get pregnant with my second child. As long as you can make each birthday special, I wouldn't worry about it. What I mean is, if you do get pregnant and have them at the same time, maybe the 2 for 1 party isn't a good idea. I say let nature take it's course. Just have fun trying and it will happen when it is supposed to :o)
Three years would be a nice age gap. My son is 4 and he loves taking care of his new baby sister. We keep him involved and praise him for his loving actions and words towards her. A child is a blessing...no matter when they are born.
Good luck!

I would just wait and start trying next month I wouldn't want two of my kids b-days so close together with me and my two brother we are nicely separated I'm July 11 and my one brother is may 30 and my baby bro is January 5 ... my son's bday is October 26 and his father (my boyfriend) is Oct. 30 I think it would be too much if I had a baby in October the I would have two of my kids in October my boyfriend then 2 months later Christmas but it is up to you I would just wait so then you don't have 2 bdays to plan one right after the other it's a little much good luck

I dont think that it should really matter, as long as the baby health is number one. Me and my older brother are both june babies mine the 2nd his the 26th and my moms is the 19th. no big deal, i didnt really think that people actually stressed over what month the baby will be born. Just do it and see what the outcome is besides how do you know for sure that you will get pregnant this time around. I'm pretty sure the first child wont be mad over the fact that he/she has to share the same birth month.

All I can suggest is that it is recommended that you try to keep kids within two years as it opens up communication and possibilities. My brother and I share a birth month, and let me tell you that ruined all aspects of a birthday to me.
There was no such thing as a special day for each of us as we celebrated it in between the two. If you are to follow and clearly differentiate each birthday individually I think it's fine. Also consider that my brother and I share birthdays in January which makes it even worse. Birthdays after major holidays seem to take the sparkle out of it.

I already have 2 children...4yrs apart. One born in Jan and the other in Feb. We are trying to get pregnant again and have decided to stay away from the months of Nov-March. Not only becuase of the expense of the holidays but also becuase of the expense of the birthdays being so close to each other.
Good luck!!

Who says each child should have their own birth month? I think that is a little over the top. Maybe birth DAY but not month. The chances of you having a baby on the same day is slim, but if it happens, you can always have two separate birthday parties. What about people that have twins? They have birthdays on the same day. I wouldn't worry about it.

If you and your husband are ready for the second one then go for it! My sister and I are exactly 3 years and 2 weeks apart. When it came to birthday parties when we were really little we had separate birthday's like for example when my sister turned 1 she got her own birthday party just because it was so special. Then when we got a little older we just had our birthday's together and we still do. Well go out for dinner or whatever and we just do it in between birthday. Personally I really like it that way it make's it more fun! Just have fun with you kid's and everything will be fine!

I don't know why anyone would say that. If you're ready to have another child, start trying - if they have the same birth month it makes no difference at all. I was born February 9th, and my brothers were born February 16th and February 27th and we never had any problems. I seriously think that's just silly...
