When should i have another baby??
By Proud_Mummy 6 Months, 3 Weeks Ago
Me & my husband have a 13mth old daughter, we would like more children ideally when she is about 3yrs. Just lately i have been feeling quite broody and thinking about baby no2, but i dont know if im just feeling this way because i have three close friends who are pregnant and due all around the same time.
Has anyone else been in the situation??

Yes, I feel the same way. Our son is 1 1/2 and we were hoping to have another one on the way soon after he turned one, but it hasn't happened yet. I did have a miscarriage a couple of months ago; it was so upsetting because we were hoping to have another one around his second birthday, and if I hadn't miscarried, they would have been exactly 25 months apart. I, like you, have several friends expecting this summer. One of my friends, whose daughter was born within 2 weeks after my son, started trying when her daughter was 9 months old. She was pregnant by her daughter's first birthday in November. When she started telling it, everyone started looking at me and saying, "well, do you have news, too?" because she and I were due close together the first time. I, myself, just could not think about trying again before my baby turned a year old. After he turned one, then I started thinking about another one. But sometimes I do wish we had started trying before his first birthday and maybe I would already be pregnant. I just hope it will be soon because I really want them to be close. But it is all in God's hands, and I know it will happen in His perfect timing. And the age difference will be just right. My husband and I are praying everyday that it will happen soon and that it will be a healthy pregnancy and baby this time!

Yes I have been in your situation as well. When my son was 5 months I was feeling like I would like to have any baby. All of my friends were having babies as well. When my son turned 16 months I got pregnant and they are 25 months apart. I am glad that I have them close together. They have such a close bond.

I feel that you should have another baby when you are ready.

happy2bme I wish you all the best of luck, just remember everything happens for a reason & good things come to those who wait!
Like you, because all my friends are pregnant people keep asking when im going to have another, plus me & my husband got married at the beginning of the year so everyone expected us to start trying again then.
I couldnt think about having another baby before my daughter was 1 either, i thought it would be too much too soon and my daughter wouldnt get the attendion she deserves while still young. But just lately ive been thinking about another baby but dont know if its just because all my friends are pregnant, and with them all due around the same time have formed a special bond. I would like to try for another soon, as it might not happy straight away for us and i would like them both to be close. There is only 2yrs between me & my brother and we are very close which i love! I would like my children to have the same bond and closest as we do.

Yes you get the baby blues when your friends have babies, it is completely normal. I had my first two 17 months apart - TOO CLOSE I was wore out.... Two in diapers. Yuck! I then waited until my second child was 2 1/2 before my 3rd. was born, so I had a 4 yr old and a 2 1/2 year old when the last one was born. It turned out to be the best spacing. I loved it. The middle child could understand reasoning and it was really really easy, no sibiling problems there. I always wanted to have my daughters 2 1/2 years apart, I remembered a girl friend who I went to high school with and her sister was 2 1/2 years younger than her. I admired their relationship there was much respect for each other. I was four years older than my sister and I had to sneak around to get out of the house to go to friends houses. It was awful. Good luck....
