I have an 11 month old baby, when would be a good time to get pregnant again?

Answer 1

anytime you are ready.kids that are born close to each other grow up having a playmate.my obgyn says that at least 2 yrs ater your first one because that gives your body time to build back up nutrients to support a healthy pregnancy thus having a smarter child.i have two sets of kids that are 15 months apart.if you get pregnant now it would be cheaper because you can pass down clothes and a whole lot of other stuff.

Answer 2

I had my second when my first was ready for kindergarden, i know that far apart but I need time with the baby and the other would get jealous or bord, so while he's at school I can be with baby and then when dad comes home we switch off. I have a brother that is 5 years from me and we played together all the time and are still close as ever.

Answer 3

If you feel ready and think you can handle your current baby while pregnant, go for it. Otherwise, I'd wait until she is less of a handful (if that time ever comes!) :)

I got pregnant again when my babies were 6 months old. It was really hard caring for them when I was so tired and nauseous all the time. That pregnancy ended in m/c, and the experience made me decide to wait longer until the next pregnancy.

Good luck whatever you decide!

Answer 4

I recently read an article in my baby magazine and it said that the best time to have another baby is before your first kid turns two. The reason it gave this fact is because at the tender age of two the child is well aware of another child taking its spotlight therefore the child will get jealous. Where as if you have another child before two they dont really know the difference all they know is that someone else has come into the house and is there to stay.

Answer 5

Any time. However, if you plan to have more than two children, experts recommend waiting 2 years between pregnancies.

There are advantages and disadvantages to having children close together and further apart. I would suggest that you visit parenting boards (such as ivillage.com) for more detailed info before making your choice. I can tell you that in my immediate family, the siblings who were born close together, remained close as adults, but less close to those born further apart from them. Obviously, this is just one family, but this is a tendency soley because children of like ages tend to play together.

Answer 6

Yay! Congrats! i'm pregnant too! My son in simple terms grew to become a million and whilst the hot toddler is born, they're going to be approximately 19-20 months aside! i think of it truly is a appropriate age difference - a minimum of that's what anybody is telling me. :o) Congrats returned!

Answer 7

i'm only pregnant with my first right now, but I think i want my kids to be almost three years apart, so i'm planning on waiting until my first is two before trying to get pregnant a second time. that way they both have a chance to be babies.

Answer 8

I'd wait until your currect baby is walking. When a baby walks they beceome even more of a handful. I was going to start trying when my daughter turned one, but then she started walking and I decided to put it off another year. I didn't want to be pregnant and chasing a toddler around.

Answer 9

the only person who knows this answer is YOU.

do YOU want another? do you feel like yur ready?

then go for it. no one can honestly tell you when cuz everyone has different ideas about when to have the next.
so go with what you feel is right

Answer 10

I have read that you should atleast weight 18 months after giving birth.
