To work on another baby as soon as possible... I have a 6 week old now ;) She's lovely but Im really having the maternal urge I want more little babies to love and cherish and my hubby is all for it..
We were thinking about waiting until the baby was 4 months before trying again...
What do you think?

I would recommend to enjoy your first year at least with your're new baby especially if it is your first. They go through so many changes it is nice to have all of them to yourselves to learn and get to know before they have to share that with a sibling.
However it sounds as though you are going to be wonderful parents so i am glad you have decided to have more, but i would wait and enjoy this one first as as they get older they do take more of your time you will see.
Good luck and congratualtions

You have a 6 week old newborn and you and your husband want to start AGAIN so soon? I understand your maternal urge, but I would advise to let your body heal a bit and wait at least a year or two! You have plenty of time! Plus, you're gonna need all the sleep you can get while you can!

Im not trying to judge or anything but whats gonna happen to your 6 week old when you have another baby?
is she going to be put "on the back burner" so to speak just because you wanted another newborn?
I'd say wait and give the 6 week old a little time so that the 3 of you can cherish it.
plus your body does need to recover from the last birth.
In the end it's YOUR decision though.
Good Luck in whatever you may decide :)

I would put all that love and maternal urge into caring for your little 6 week old. She needs your attention. Try to wait a little longer.

Control those material urges of yours. Don't go acting on the passion of being a mom. That was for your dating phase. Now you're responsible. Sit down and talk about it with your husband. What is your financial predicament right now? Can you afford another baby? How is your current child acting? Is she in constant need of attention? You've got to analyze every detail of your life before you decide to have another child. If everything's in order, then sure, have another bundle of joy. But think it over very carefully.

If this is your first then wait!
If you have already raised a baby and know what your in for then go for it. I get those urges too but they pass with time
your new baby needs all your energy and attention so keep in mind that a pregnant woman does not have as much energy.
Congratulations and i wish you and your family health and happiness

i have 3 children, and my 2 youngest are 16 months apart. foolishly i thought they would relate to each other more if they were closer in age, but my oldest and youngest get along best. However ido not regret my decision, having them all so little together was wonderful, ok, hard work at times, but the good times over ride any difficulties, if you are fit enough, and can afford 2 babies at the same time, GO FOR IT, good luck
Additional, if this is your first, i would think carefully, i saw going from having 1 to 2 babies a HUGE leap, 2 to 3 not so much so. only you know all your circumstances and capabilities

You need to give this baby the attention that she needs right now. Plus, you need to let your body get back into shape. It needs to rest and repenish before you get pregnant again. I'd try to wait at least six months.

My son was 4 months old when I got pregnant with my daughter. After my daughter was born I suffered from a condition called uterine prolapse. This is where your uterus literally falls out. You could see a part of it hanging from my vagina and it caused a GREAT deal of pain! The dr. said it was probably caused by my babies being born so close together. He said he sees this often in young mothers. I ended up having to have a hysterectomy at 22 yo! Of course now, having my kids so close is really neat. It almost feels like their the same age. Even though they are boy/girl I still have many ppl ask me if they are twins. It would have been very easy if they were both boys or both girls because with sports and stuff, they could be on the same baseball/softball team, etc. I wouldn't trade anything for my little boy and girl though... If I were you and you wanted to chance having them so close (health wise) I would just talk to my dr. about it and see what he suggests you do to prevent this. Maybe my body just couldn't handle it and yours would be fine!? If that is the case, I would highly recommend them being close in age. When I was pregnant with my daughter, my son wasn't walking and I had to carry him plus diaper bag, carseat, etc everywhere. I went alot of places by myself because of the shift that my husband works. Then on top of having my little infant son, I also babysat for my nephew who was also an infant. When I delivered my daughter I had my son (who was 13 months old) and my nephew (who was 2 months old) all day everyday. The day I went into labor with her, I had just left the dr. and I had both kids with me and my mom was with me but my sister insisted on staying at work until she got off. So my mom had both kids in the waiting room until my sister got of work. The next day, while I was still in the hospital, my mom was staying with me because my husband had to work and she volunteered to keep my nephew while my sister worked. Then she ended up napping all day. My mom is NOT usually like that and I really don't know what they were both thinking when they assumed I could watch him just twelve hours after giving birth! It all worked out in the end because my daughter couldn't breathe on her own and she couldn't leave the nursery the whole time we were at the hospital and I was in desperate need of holding a baby constanty and he was still pretty brand new at 2 months so he satisfied what I couldn't have with my daughter. I guess God really does work in mysterious ways... :=) Maybe I just done to much when I was pregnant and that could be what caused my uterus to prolapse!? Maybe if you took it easier during your pregnancy you'd be fine!? All you can do is try. If it's in God's plan, it'll happen, and if it's not, no matter how much trying you do won't bare a child... at least that is what I've always believed! Good luck in whatever you decide and Congratulations to you and your husband for the new arrival of your daughter!

That would totally be unwise to do.Even waiting 4 months is to soon to try for another one.
Let your body heal and spend your time raising your daughter as she needs you and if there was another one she would not get the attention she deserves.
