Another baby!
I had my son at the end of December, he's about to be 4 months. I have always wanted more than one kid but I'm not sure when would be a good time to start trying again for baby number 2? Would it be good to have all my kids close together in age? What are your thoughts?

Medically the doctor said it's recommended to wait 18 months to give your body time to fully heal. I personally can't imagine being pregnant again right now. Pregnancy was really hard for me and it will be that much harder with a baby/toddler to manage as well. My husband and I have said we are tabling even talking about a second baby until this one is 1 year old.

It’s up to you! I’m not even considering it until baby is walking, talking and out of diapers . My brother & I have a 3 year age difference. That timeline feels reasonable to me & my body needs a BREAK lol But there’s sooo many factors to consider! Are you at an age where you could realistically wait? Do you have a good support system around you if you need help? How did you feel about being pregnant the first time, if it was difficult could you picture caring for a baby while pregnant? Are you a sahm or is daycare for 2 affordable? Is having your kids be close in age something that’s important to you? If multiples run in your family would you be okay with going from 1-3 (or more)? I don’t say this to sway you one way or another. Just some points I am considering when making the decision :)
