that depends on weather you want to start all over with diapers and preschool. but as far as age goes you both are very young a lot of people don't even start their families until then. 6 years apart is not bad. a lot of families plan on having their children 5-6 years apart so they have that one on one time with the baby while the child is at school. plus you have two great helpers! My mother had my brother when she was 36 we are 13 years apart and it worked out fine. you will know when your family is complete and if you are questioning that it probably isn't.

I was 29 and 39 when my children were born, so to me you're just a kid. Having kids (twins) 10 years older has been a big help. They are very close even now that they're 21 and 31. Our generation gap could have been disasterous without the older kids bein able to relate to their little bro. We still had a child at home when we retired, but that meant we had more time for him.

That should be your personal choice. Only you know your financial situation and how you and your husband feel about having another child. Your other two children are not very old yet either. What is best for your family?

No.....I am 27 years old with one 5 year old son and we are thinking about having another one atleast by the time we are 30 but if not then i guess it is not meant to be.
My mom had seven kids and our ages are: 33,30,27-me,25,22,17 and 12
My mom was pregnant 2 different times along with 2 of my sisters. She had my brother when she was 38.
It is up to you though.

Definately not! My mother had my sister when i was 11 and my brother when I was 12! My mom was 33 at the time. We do have a big age difference, but it works out great. I helped her all the time. Your kids would be thrilled to help out. My advice to you, if you do end up having another child, continue spending time with your other children so they won't feel abandoned. :)

If you want another child, go for it! i think 28-30 is the perfect age to be having a baby (seeing as how most people usually weight that long to have their first one)

I had a friend in my Junior year (so like 17 she was) of high school tell me that her mother was having another baby, but then again that was many years ago, society has changed. If you can support to have another child, and you want to have another child, go for it.
