Well it's up to you to decide about that.
Just take your time and enjoy life being with your children.

my first 2 sons are 10 mos and 20 days apart, so my oldest was about 6 weeks when I got pregnant again {not planned}. My second pregnancy was good until the last month when I got big, I couldn't carry my oldest any more, but he did start walking when he was 91/2 mos old. They grew up having someone to play with but it wasn't always a good thing. now they are in their early 20's and they don't get along. I often feel that my oldest son didn't get the attention he needed and deserved and that this has had a bearing on how he has lived his life. I think pregnancy is wonderful thing and I enjoyed being pregnant, but if I could do it over again, I would have waited till he was at least 2 to have my second one so he could have had his time with me. Alas, hindsight is 20/20 but if someone else can learn it is not wasted. Give your daughter time to be your only one because if you have another one before she is a year, she will be pushed out of the way. I hope this has helped you.

i do feel it is too soon. only because your body needs time to recover from having your current baby. i think its great you want to have another one, but just give it another 6-8 weeks. so if you really believe you can handle two young children at once i wish you good luck and suggest that you wait until your daughter is about 4-6 months old before trying for baby #2...
GOOD LUCK

Your body is not ready for it yet. I would wait. (By the way, babies dont get hard to look after till after 6 weeks old, wait until then before deciding if you really want another so soon!)

Yeah, too soon. Your baby is going to be your main focus for a while...why redirect it and remember your baby's first milestones as "the time the baby first crawled and I was really nauseaus"...or something like that? I had a friend that had one baby right after the other, and afterwards she regretted it, feeling like the older one missed out on all her love and affection. Besides, can you really stand having one baby getting into everything and having a screaming newborn?

Yes!!!!!!! It is way to early! Wait at least six months.... Your body needs to recover from all the hormonal changes it has gone through the past nine months. Sit back and enjoy your new little one.

i think it's too soon.
are you even fully healed? i think maybe you should get the opinion of a physician before you start trying again.
congratulations though! :)

It's up to you two, but I would give it a little more time if I were you.
