well, it depends if you really need the money to go back to work, and or if your husband gets enough money to support you and your two year old daughter...if he is just getting by with supporting you and your daughter, then wait, go back to work, earn some more income, and then have another baby...but if your husband does get enough income that he can support all four of you, then raise the baby and after about a year and a half, then go back to work...it just depends on your job hours, and income...but I would say go for it.

if you have a home based daycare, then you are already back at work.. and being a mom and housewife is like 4 jobs in one anyway. no, it is not too soon. if you want out the the diaper phase asap, then have another baby soon or else you will be changing diapers for the next 4 or 5 yrs.

It depends on you and your husband.
If you really wanna to get out of the diapering phase, then why have another one at all. It doesn't matter when you are having the second one cause you have to go through the same thing again.
But I think you should have another one, and if you can afford not to work, then why not.

wait for another year or so, give time to your daughter to start some degree of independent life, like eating and playing. By the time your second child is born she will be about 4 years and ready for the preparatory school. Most important is your husband's opinion. make a joint decision and go ahead.

If kids are your passion, I say, Go for it! Your daughter is 2, so I think that's a good age difference between siblings. Just remember to always give your first daughter the same amount of attention. Children tend to act out when they feel ignore and a lot of parents don't know why.

If you have another you won't get out of the diapering phase for about three more years. With the day care business, you may be diapering someone else's kids.

Do one thing at a time. Whether you decide to have another baby or not, I wouldn't suggest trying to start a home daycare while having a new baby. Do them both, if that's what you want, but not at the same time.

It's time. Keep them close together. It's easier on you and better for the kid's in the long run. Get it done and over with ( the baby diaper stage ). The sooner the better.

I don't think it's too soon-- it sounds like you and your husband have a stable relationship and two years is a nice age gap between kids (my sister and I are two years apart and we're best friends). If you're financially stable enough to support another child and your husband doesn't have any issue with it, go for it! :) Best to you!

You want to be there for her and you will. You need to go to work I mean she will still know you are her mom. And she doesn't need you right by her side all the time. You want your daughter to have a social life too. Take her to day care and start working on finding a job. Your kid doesn't always want you by her side. You need to let go a little.
