I have a 3 month old and lately I have been wanting to have my second child soooo badly. Partly because I want them close together in age but also in part because I LOVED being pregnant. I actually miss it. It is strange to want another baby so fast? However I almost feel like I should wait so I can spend time with my first daughter before having a second.

Ok...I don't know how this got turned around but I would never neglect my children or make any of my children responsible for the others. I love my daughter more than anything in the world and part of the reason I want more is so that she has siblings and has the best possible relationship with them. I am a stay at home mom and will continue to stay home and take care of them until they are in college. I do any and everything for my child.

bloody hell, there are some complete prick.s on here today, and funny how its always the men, who know NOTHING about giving birth, that always make derogatory comments!!!! Look honey, there is NOTHING wrong with how u are feeling, and if its right for u then stuff what anyone else on here thinks, they are no better qualified to respond to your question then u are yourself, so go with what your heart tells u. Its nice to have kids close together, millions of mothers have done it. Good luck i wish u well, and ignore the plebs on here

Wanting A Second Baby

I would wait. Firstly, your body needs time to recover. As natural as pregnancy and childbirth are, it is very stressful on your body. My doctor suggested waiting a year. Secondly, in my opinion, babies aren't much work until they're toddlers. I'd wait until you reach that stage, so that you have a better idea of what it would take to have two small children running around. My children are 4.5 years apart, by design, for several reasons. I didn't want two in college at the same time. I wanted to fully enjoy each child, and I thought I'd be too worn out to enjoy either one if they were closer together, and my body just could not have handled it.
Don't worry about them not being close if they're spaced too far apart. I think it really depends on the individuals. My kids are very close, and I have siblings that are two years apart and they're not very close.

No, it's not strange. I have a friend who just had her 6th baby. She loves being pregnant too but I think she needs to stop now. :)
You need to wait about 2 years to let your body recover from being pregnant and giving birth. I waited two years before my second child.
Yes, spend time getting to know your first daughter. You'll be glad you did. Two little ones in diapers under the age one 2 is really hard to handle. I found that out when my son was 2 and my daughter was born.

It's not unusual, some women just love being pregnant and having babies.
Beware though, as it can also, strangely, be a symptom of Post Natal Depression. You can become depressed about "feeling empty" and that can turn into obsession with being pregnant again that controls everything in your life. But you sound as though you've thought this through and if it's something you can afford to do both financially and physically, then go for it.

I'm so sorry for my presumptious nature, answering a question on female biology when I do not have one of my own, however, for the sake of your health and your second child, I think it's generally accepted for a time perio between pregnancies for the sake of recovery, increasing the chances of a successful pregnancy.
Plusl, o you really want a 2 year old AND a 3 year old running around?
PS: Please don't make your oldest daughter responsible for her younger sibling, it's not fair, she should get the chance to be a child before a baby sitter.

It's that desire to be wanted feeling. YOu're used to being her the whole thing, and now she's establishing to kinda step clear of you. It's usual. I raised my brother and sister, and had that drawback regardless of them. They're five and seven, now I have a two month ancient. Hubby needs one more one and I'm pondering I'd as a substitute repair him than have one more one now lol They're quality, however tons of labor. It's excellent to suppose wanted even though. As for easy methods to repair it, simply by way of your self into her existence, hold your self busy always

Stop having kids if you can not give the child the attention and financial security they need.
You sounds very slimy .......You have a 3 month old and instead of enjoying the new time with your baby,you would rather have the enjoyment of getting knocked up
You sound like a baby making factory
Over 6 Billion human savages and growing.....scarry

i think it is really nice that you want a baby. it isn't too fast. but i agree that you should wait a little bit and grow up your child. after a year or a half you can have a nice little baby again :)
