I would like another baby but perhaps I should wait another year... DO you think it is suicide to space this closely?.

My mom had 3 kids under the age of 3... she was exhausted!! She said the biggest challenge for her was having 2 to 3 kids in diapers at one time. But hey, she did it, and we are all fine and dandy!
This decision is up to you and you husband. You both need to be ready to handle two young children. If you think you might be ready, then why not wait another 6 months just to be sure? This will allow you time to mentally prepare, as well as physically and financially, and it will give you more one-on-one time with your baby.
Goodluck with whatever you decide! =)

YES!!!! My sister has two children, born in January 2005, and January 2006..... She is exhausted all the time. She never gets a break. They are both still in diapers, and they drive her crazy. They are beautiful children, but it's about the same as having twins....
Mine are 4 years apart, and it's great. When I got pregnant with my second, my Daughter was a so excited and helpful. I say, let your baby be a baby as long as possible. Having another one so soon wouldn't be very fun for him (or her). New baby would get all of his (or her) attention and that would cause problems.

I don't think so at all. My brother and I are 13 months apart and are so close, my mom said it was hard at first but things got better and she was a single parent. I have a 6 month old and I would love to start for number 2 soon! Good luck

It's all up to you and your spouse. If your baby is 10 months now , by the time your other baby arrives (if you concieved now), then your baby would be at least 1 year old. so why not. My older sister and i were born on the same month only a year apart, but different date by 10 days.

My daughter is 10months old and I couldn't imagine being pregnant just now, my body still hasn't recovered. I would like a little brother or sister for her, close to her age but I want to see what the next few stages of her growing up are and how I cope first before adding another baby to the equation.

Not at all! My boys are 13 months apart...that's right 2 boys!! They are very active, always running around looking for something to do, trying to get their little hands into something that they shouldn't. Whoever said it is like having twins is absolutely right! It is pretty hard work....but I tell you what, it's definitely worth it at the end of the day. I would do it again ten times over! It gets easier...mine are now 2 and 3 and I'm pregnant again! A bit of patience, a bit of organisation and alot of love goes a long, long way!

That all depends on whether or not you and the father are ready for another baby. My oldest was 6 months old when I got pregnant with my second. If I had it to do over again, I don't think I would do anything differently. My girls are the best of friends and hardly go anywhere separately.
The biggest thing is whether you are physically ready for it (talk to your OB), emotionally ready for it (talk to your hubby), and financially ready for it. Can you afford another child in diapers.

Well it's nice to have your kids close in age, It will be a handful, But if you feel you are ready and have a good support system then why not. Go for it. I have 2 kids 4 years apart but for me that worked out good, Do what you feel is best for you.

Why are you asking strangers this question? It is entirely up to you. Although, I have heard from more than one reliable source and doctor that it can take your body up to one full year to re-cooperate. (And I'm NOT just talking about the baby weight some people gain.) Talk with your doctor, and more importantly: ARE YOU REALLY READY TO HAVE 2 KIDS THAT CLOSE IN AGE? THEY WILL RUN YOU DRY!!! And - another thought - 2 kids in diapers...??? Hmmmm... Good luck!

no not suicidal.i had all mine close which was nice as they are very content and happy children .when i potter trained the two half year old the younger one just copied .and the younger one just grow up so fast and so advanced .but it does depend on you if you have the patients for late nights no sleep and lots of washing and a good man who gives you full support with house hold chores and stuff
