My first is 4 months old and we’re thinking about trying for another baby. I’m so on the fence about it because I know I want more for sure and ideally I’d like to have 2 under 2. I’m just unsure about starting now. I know getting pregnant can take some time and that worries me. I would be over the moon if I got pregnant immediately but at the same time I worry about struggling with pregnancy and taking care of my first when she’s not even a toddler yet. Does anybody have any experience they want to share about babies with very little age gaps and how that went? I know every case is different but I need a little push to decide whether I’m ready now or if I should wait another few months 😝

I haven't gotten my little one yet, but I fell pregnant at 7 months postpartum, so my daughter will be 16 months when our new little girl arrives.
You know how your birth and pregnancy was. My doctor advised me to wait 6 months since I had an uncomplicated pregnancy and vaginal birth. C-section mums should normally wait a bit longer, because of the scar etc. I thought pregnancy would be easier at home with my little one instead of at work full-time, I was wrong 😅
I hope mums can help you out with what the experience is like! Honestly, now my little one is turning one, I do not know where the time has gone. Which leads me to believe 2 under 2 will be fine because no difficult time lasts! We also found out we're going to have another girl, and I can't wait for my daughter to have a sister! I always desperately wanted one growing up!

my first is 8 months old atm and im currently 6 months pregnant with my second 😅 let me tell you the pregnancy is definitly more draining than with my first, especially becasue she hasnt been sleeping the past couple of months due to teething and sleep resession but in saying that its easier in a way because my body is still used to the exhaustedness of raising a young child and just pushing through when times are harder! definitly excited for when they are older as they will be excatly a year apart although i never would have planned for it to be like this and while its great i wont be allowing it to happen again with the next, completely a personal choice but if you do decide to go for it and fall preggers staraight away you will push through and your body will cope better than you expect especially after having a baby so soon before. (am not sure how i will go in the newborn phase with a fresh one year old mind you 😅😂 not looking forward to that and it could change alot!!)

If you’re breastfeeding your milk will dry up so you won’t make it to a year if that’s something that means a lot to you x
