If you're not ready for another baby, then maybe waiting to get pregnant till you ARE ready is fair to the kids.
Give your body a bit of a break, it's done 18 months hard work in the last 2 years, with only a short break.
I'd certainly say wait till after you finish breast feeding . . . .

Yes, being pregnant and bringing a life into the world is a wonderful and beautiful experience. However, the reality is when the child/children are here and you have to take care of them. It is the responsibility of being a parent that is all the work!
The questions that should be on your mind are:
Is the father in the picture?
In the picture means, are you guys married/together/plan to marry?
Is he working and contributing?(financially, physically, mentally, and emotionally)
Can you afford another child?(financially, physically, mentally, and emotionally)
What about your future?(career goals, dreams, more education, or plans for yourself)
Have fun and enjoy the children that you currently have. Focus on them and yourself right now. You are fortunate to have two beautiful healthy children, cherish that time with them.
I suggest waiting a while to have another baby, anyway you have plenty of time you are just 20.

How financially stable are you? Can you afford another baby? You should give your body a rest before going through another pregnancy again. I would say wait until your youngest is at least 1 year old. But if your totally capable of having another one then go ahead. How does the father of your children feel about having another one? Have you discussed this with him? I think you should.

Only you know when is a right time to have another baby....... me personally would wait until your youngest is atleast a year old before having another child, because your children are very young and having another one so soon, and it sounds like your not ready yet...... give it some time. 2yrs between children is not a bad age frame. Wait till you are financially and mentally prepared. Goodluck!

enjoy your babies now... you will wish later "oh i wish my babies were still 6 months and 19 months!"
i know how you feel though, allthough i know were not ready, i want another just to be preg and have a beautiful birth again!
and let your two enjoy you while they are little ones. I would wait another year and a half and if you still want one...then go for it. let your body recover.

i personally believe you should wait;;
your body needs break.
eat healthy, and see what your
kids bring to you. 2 kids is a lot
for most families. but I wouldn't
give up on another child.
What I'm trying to say is
your body may be a little tired.
Give it some time, bond with
your kids, and I think you will
be ready to try again.
Good Luck!! (:

until you are ready, but they do say its better to have them close together , although if i had another one (my son is 18mths now and im seriously broody) i think i would want to wait until he was in school because then the new baby would have the same attention as my son gets now, but up to you and your partner.

Until you are ready to have another baby.

Personally, I would wait until one or both of your current children are out of diapers!
