Me and my husband want another baby. Our son just turned 1 this past Sunday. when is a good time to try for 1?

Answer 1

Best when your son is potty trained...you will have the best success for getting pregnant when you are ovulating...when your temperature is higher than normal, cervical mucus becomes thinner, watery and pale or bluish in color.
Good luck!

Answer 2

I don't think it matters when you have a second one. I have seven kids, some only a year apart and some several years apart. I find that having a lot in diapers IS difficult, but so is getting the kid out of diapers and turning around and having another.

If you only want a certain number of kids, then there is a certain value in having them all together, so that when you're done, they're all in school at once and you can get an outside job without paying daycare.

Another thing to consider is how much time you will have to devote to each of them. If you're already working full time then you might not have the time for each of them. However, if you're at home full time, it would be great to go ahead and have another.

Best of luck.

Answer 3

Whenever you want. Just remember that if you get pregnant the first month, your kids will be 1 year 9 mos apart. I would start now because this is a good gap.

If you want a more specific answer, you need to pretty much start trying right after your period and until you ovulate. You can get an ovulation predictor kit or check your temperature to find out when that would be.

Answer 4

We started trying when our daughter was coming up to 2. It took us a year to get pregnant, our daughter is now 3 and im 4 n a half months pregnant and she understands there there is going to be a new baby coming, she is very helpful now. You can start trying when you want, it may take you a month to a couple of years before you actually become pregnant. good luck and i hope everything goes well for you both.

Answer 5

Some people say have them together and others (like me) had them further apart. It's what you and your hubby thinks you both can handle. If you want two kids below the age of 2, then start trying now. If you don't think you could handle the stress of two babies, then wait. It's your personal choice, and no one can answer this question for you.

Answer 6

Now is a great time, if you are up to it. By the time he is born there is almost 2 years. This helps to prevent the only child from getting spoiled, also cultivates closer sibling relationship later on when children are in school.

Answer 7

If you are trying now, wanted to take care of them yourself, then you and your husband will be quite tie up with te kids cos of their age difference being so close. You guys will have lack of time for each other. That is something you need to get prepared for. If you and your husband is ready for it mentally and physically, then go ahead! As for me, my three kids are all three years difference. All the best.

Answer 8

If you choose to have your children two years apart, then you might want to start trying for another child when your son is 14-15 months old, assuming that you get pregnant quickly.

If you choose to have you children be three years apart, then you might want to start trying for another child when your son is 26-27 months old, once again assuming that you get pregnant quickly.

Answer 9

Whenever you want, but probably never would be best if you considered anyone else besides you and your husband. You see, the world is on the verge of over population and there you are breeding away because you're probably living in some developed country with SUVs and overconsumption. It's very greedy. Why not adopt a child that is already stuck in this world instead of creating yet another one?

Answer 10

Only you and your husband can decide that. It's kind of silly to be posting a question like that here, where no one knows what your situation is. You know, maybe you are not ready for
another child if you even have to ask.
