Give your body more time to heal. You are not healed in 2 weeks time. I would wait a couple of months before getting pregnant again. My kids are 20 months apart - and that has worked well. Not sure I'd want them closer than that.

It's to soon. Give your body a break for a while. Spend time with your new baby before you have another one. Having a baby right after the other isn't good for you or the baby that you would be carrying. There could be alot of complications for the both of you. Give your body time to heal. It's nice to have kids close together but your baby's only two weeks take time out. Wait untill your baby's about 9 months or so and then think about it

even if you recovered quickly, your body needs at least 6-9 weeks before you try to get pregnant again.
by getting preganant again so soon you can cause serious issues while you are trying to carry. the closet your kids can be is around 11 -14 months apart...
do the smart thing, give your body a chance to rest and prepare to carry another baby in a healthy state!!
congradulations on your first little one....

My sister's children are really close in age. I think if you are all healed it would be fine to start whenever your husband is ready to add to your family. And it should also be comfortable for you, so if you are still in any pain I would postpone until you feel little or no pain in that general area.
I have two kids of my own and I waited until my kids were atleast 6 weeks before I started having sex again. My kids are 7 and 2.

Chrissy,
You body is not healed YET. Two-Three months from the birthday is the quickest I would even try that. NOT sure why you want them so close together, it is very expensive and difficult that way. Two years is ideal. Best wishes.
Let just think about the ONE YOU HAVE ALREADY "baby" for a while.
A race to repopulate earth is not the best motivation to not dedicate the first year to each child., They really really need you 100% of that time.

I would wait a while personally. Give your body a chance to recover. And also, don't you want your daughter to have a "babyhood" where she has enough of your time and attention? I know you want her to have a sibling close in age, but what she really needs right now is you. The amount of attention and love you can give her now will help to form her personality for life. You really want her to be confident, not always trying to compete for someone's attention. Think about it.

Thats way too soon! I agree that u have to give yr body time to recover. If u have another child at least three yrs apart from this one, that sweet dauhter of yrs can help u around the house in preparation for the baby.

Anytime after 6 weeks is usually ok to start having sex again, so if you started RIGHT NOW, it would be too soon. Your body needs time to heal, especially after having major surgery.
Besides, kids who are 1-3 years apart are usually just as close as kids who are twins (without the "twin bond" of course). Closeness can backfire too. It all depends on the 1st-born's personality.

I know you are anxious, but this really is too soon. OB/Gyns recommend ideally 18 months between pregnancies, but I was told at least 6 months after you quit nursing. If you are currently nursing and plan to continue....please wait at least a few more months. Your body needs to recover before it tries to support another life. Good luck!

you may think you've recovered, but you were cut and it needs time to heal. You're not giving yourself time to enjoy your daughter, or give her the attention she needs. I know you'll say you're not neglecting your daughter, that's not what I'm saying. Who's going to play with her when you're throwing up with morning sickness, back ache, feeling rough, hospital appointments? You need to experience looking after your little girl for a while longer before you decide if another baby is a good idea, at this time
