No im not pregnant and i do understand the responsibilities, but its just something i have been thinking about and would like other peoples thoughts on it or to hear there stories if they have already done it thanks in advance

Answer 1

No - it's not wrong to want another baby... However, if you do a little bit of research many doctors would prefer women wait for at LEAST a year to have another child because your body is still recuperating from the pregnancy and birth of the last child. But then again .... there have been millions of women throughout history that have children very close together and they don't have problems with it.

My biggest issue would be not having enough bonding time with each child before having the next... not only that, but who wants to be pregnant back to back?

Answer 2

How is that wrong? We are thinking about our next baby. I am 28 and our son is 7 months old. You also have to think of your age and your goals as far as family. Do you want your kids to be close in age (convenient for schooling and family activities but inconvenient when it comes to diapers and house destruction those first few years). Do you have the help you will need with two young babies? Also the older you get the more the chance of birth defects. Is your husband supportive? In the "olden days" many women had a baby each year. ... so it's not as crazy as everyone makes it out to be. My friend has a 4 year old, 3 year old twins, and a 15 month old and its tough but there are lots of positives to it too. Good luck with whatever you decide!

Answer 3

No, silly it would be good to have a another child close around your daughter's age. From the medical point of view your body needs two years to rejuvenate, your body goes through a lot of changes when your pregnant. By the time you have another baby you daughter would be about a 1 yr and a 1/2. Guess you really should talk to the father of the child and consider the different demands and expenses that would come with this child.... Hope I was of some help to you!!!!

Answer 4

My first 2 are 4 years apart, my 2nd and 3rd are 27 months apart and my 3rd and 4th are 18 months apart. The last 2 were the most difficult as babies because I never felt they got to be babies on their own. Now they are great buddies. It is up to you and what you think you can handle.
I felt the 27 months apart was the ideal spacing for me, but that is me! ( I did try between the 1st 2 and lost a child at 28 weeks when my first was almost 3).

Answer 5

the fee to advance little ones isn't tallied up in totality by utilising merely making ends meet immediately. It expenditures countless $$$ to get a newborn into adulthood. i think of you may desire to re-think of the expenditures and spot in case you could cope with the entire invoice. purely some sound suggestion... I heard that is between 230-350 thousand in finished fee according to newborn from delivery to exiting college. i've got faith it extremely is a modest assumption because of the fact the expenditures in no way look to flow down...... DO THEY? you ought to to do slightly diagnosis in the previous you address better than you could cope with. no person is conscious the destiny. No newborn needs to be deprived. while you're very prosperous and have not something to rigidity approximately.... decide for the gusto. Why not have 6 or 7 youngsters?

Answer 6

It's only wrong if you want it to be. You say you understand the responsibilities, which is great. You would basically have 2 children in diapers approximatley 1.5 years apart. The children would be very close to one another (emotionally connected I mean which would be good) Hand-me downs would save you $$$; you wouldn't have alot of time for yourself, it may be harder to return to work or find a sitter. I think it would be a good thing.

Answer 7

According to statistics, babies do much better if they are born 1.5-2 years after their next oldest sibling. This gives each child time to have a 'babyhood' of it's own before becoming a 'big kid' ... and you'll have a much easier time with things like toilet training if you space your kids a bit farther apart ... but it's totally up to you whether you want to have a second baby so soon or wait another year ...

Answer 8

it wouldn't be wrong if that's what you want then go for it. my son will be 17 months on the 29 of this month and i'm due next month 12/15/07. my boyfriend and i agreed to having a second child together and the arrival isn't far away.

Answer 9

If you and your husband want to have your children close together and get that wonderful diaper phase over all at once, then I say, why not! My husband has two sisters, one that is 4 years older than him and one that is 18 months younger than him. He is much closer to his younger sister than his older one. They were so close in age, they grew up playing and hanging out together. The closeness is still there.

Answer 10

if you feel you can cope,then why would you think it wrong? my neice has had five children in seven years(she had two in the same year,not twins) she thinks it better to have them close together.she has been criticised by other members of the family,but if she and her husband are happy,and coping,and her kids are well loved and thriving,its no ones buisness but theirs.
do what is best for you,good luck,whatever you decide to do.
p.s. shes planning on having more!
