My son is 11 months old and I believe I'm pregnant. Do you think it's too soon? We're financially and emotionally stable enough for a second child right now, but I think it's too soon.

My three girls are all 20 months apart, I got pregnant when the one before was around 11 to 12 months old. I have to be honest, I love how close my girls are to each other because they play together so well and have so much fun being friends. But for me it has been hard. Still having the older one in diapers (I had 3 in diapers for a couple of months). And when they are all grumpy or whiny at the same time. Going to the store by myself is hard sometimes when they aren't all in a good mood. But when I had just the 2 and not 3 it wasn't as bad. I wouldn't suggest doing it with three that close but two will be hard at first and then actually kind of fun. If I had planned it better though, I would have probably done like 18 to 24 months between pregnancies instead of 12 though. It will be fine if you are pregnant!

My daughter just turned 1 year and I think I'm pregnant, I thought it was too soon but in a way I see it like she will have someone to play with at home and won´t feel lonely. I think too many years apart isn't the same. Besides by the time you have the second child(if you are pregnant) it wont be too hard, perhaps your son will walk by then and wont depend on you as much.

A year is normally about right. But I dont think it matters too much as I got pregnant with baby No.3 about 6 weeks after baby No.2 was born. Resulting in two daughters 11 months apart!

My mother had me first and then 1 year and 2 weeks later she had my brother and then after him she had my second brother 1 year and 2 weeks later.
I had 5 children. The first 3 were about 2 years apart. The next one was 3 and one half after that and the my daughter was 16 mounts after that, so it is not too soon.

I got pregnant 6 months later. Doctor told me to wait at least a year because of the c-section but it didn't work out that way. 11 months is great. You'll be fine. Congratulations.

I don't think that's too soon! My husband says when we have them we are going to have them close together so they will be able to play together instead of one being 20 and the other 10! like him and his brother!
But I have also heard of a mother getting pregnant while she was still breast feeding her 1st born child I think its great defiantly nothing wrong with it!

This is SUCH a personal decision-- no one can tell you what to do. Talk with your husband and possibly with a pregnancy counselor-- they will be able to help you sort out your feelings. Also keep in mind that you have a whole 9 months before you have to really be ready for another baby!

If you can afford it mentally and physically, you are ready. But I guess if you want to love your first child, before you divert attention to another, you might not. YOu just had a kid, it may not be a good idea to have one for a while, but if you are pregnant now, its too late.

purely my opinion, yet i got here upon that 3 or 4 years between them is sweet. you have time to dedicate a minimum of two-plus to 3-plus years to the 1st toddler formerly yet another one with a similar desires to your interest comes alongside. For the quick while whilst they are youthful, the version between a million and four looks like a huge one; and that they are actual in a "distinctive age group"; yet whilst one is 24 and the only is 21 they are rather close. whilst one is fifty 3 and the different one is 50 there is no difference in any respect of their age group particularly! i believe it makes all the version interior the international, although, once you area them somewhat and can dedicate the time mandatory to artwork on issues like helping their brains improve, helping them experience particular, helping them learn social issues, and so on. in case you think of roughly it, Nature has designed human beings so as that they in many circumstances purely have one toddler by one. i could pass with the thought maybe there's a clarification for that.

they say the ideal age between children is about 18 months. by the time your new baby is born, they will be around 18 months apart. i personally waited 7 years but it's your choice. good luck
