wait until you feel you're ready. there is no set time, people can go ten years or a week before they're pregnant again. if you are financially stable, then you can start trying to concieve as soon as you feel you can handle having another little one. it all depends on how you are feeling. i recomend having kids close in age, because they are a lot closer then and their bond is more. sure there will be arguments like always, but me and my sister are 19 months apart and we've been close forever. i've always helped her out and we were close in school and it's absolutely great having siblings close in age. after my baby is born, i want to have another baby within two years, hopefull be pregnant after a year if i can handle it.
even though it doesnt happen with all kids, if you have them far apart they may not be close. i have two older siblings and i have no contact with them and i've never been close to them. i want my kids to be close in age because they experience things at similar times and can grow up and help each other and understand each other in ways that i cant.
as soon as you feel you're ready to go through pregnancy, labor, and having a little baby again then go for it. you'll be happy, even if you decide to get pregnant in a week or in a few years, just do with whatever feels right for you personally, and talk with your husband/boyfriend. he can offer insight on when he thinks you both will be ready to handle another baby. i hope everything works out for you!!

Well theres nothing wrong with raising twins 'Dana' but the best would be wait until you are physically healthy enough to have another baby. I would say about two years, so you are healthy enough to have the baby. And then your other child will be old enough to join in with the baby once it is born. They would be curious, and having another baby will help them to realise how to take care of one and etc. skills. I have five children, with two sets of twins. My first were twins, and I decided to wait four years between having my next baby. Which was not twins. Then I just decided to wait four years again to have my second set of twins.

Depends on how old your first is now and what sort of delivery you had.
If you had a c-section I would advise at least 2years or you risk rupturing the scar if you try to have a VBAC next time
on an average though, I think between 2.5yr - 3yrs between kids is a good gap. I have 2yrs8mths between mine and its great! when your child turns 20mths+ i would start trying as it might take you a few months to get pregnat and then it would be the perfect gap. That age gap is good also because the 1st is usually out of nappies, no more bottles, out of cot etc....and that makes it easier when the 2nd or 3rd come along

I would say wait a year or two because i had a sister in law who has two and there exactly 11 months apart and they seem like twins she had one January of 2002 and the next November 2002 but he was born premature because she had some complications the Doctor told her that it was probably because she got pregnant so soon after the first one!

if you start trying when the first child is about 1 1/2 that gives you 1:1 time with that child when they need it most. Ideally there would be2 1/2- 31/2 yrs between them. So one toilet trained and only the other one in diapers. The oldest can help train the other too, and can be reasoned with over things like sharing toys etc. Good luck

2 years is healthy. My friend had her two kids One was born in Feb 2000 and one was born June 2001. I know another woman that just keeps popping them out she has 3 kids under 4 years old. But, I know that she just wants to keep staying on welfare, that is why she is popping them out.
My son is 5 and a half. And wants me to have another baby really soon. He wants a brother or sister so bad. I am ready to have another child IF the right man comes along and that is respectful to myself and my son...he has to be the one now.

wait as long as you feel. it's different for everyone. for me it was much easier to put 3 years between and for some its easier to have them closer or even further. go with your gut feellings.
