Best Time to Start Trying For the Next Baby?
Posted: 09-19-07 10:13am

My question is what is a good time to start trying for another baby. I have a 8 month old(Aubree) and we want our babys to be close together. I don't want to have them too far apart because I don't want Aubree to be jelious. Any Ideas!! Sorry let me tell you alittle about myself, I have not been on in awhile so you might not know me Laughing I'm 22 and my husband is 24 and we have been married for almost three years, we have great jobs and we are very happy together. Heather

this is totally a personal choice that's up to you and your husband.

i'm 11 1/2 weeks pregnant and i have a 10 1/2 month old. we wanted them close together too, they'll be 17 months apart.

Thank you for the reply. Thats a perfect age difference. My husband wanted our babys to be a year and a half apart. I guess we will just have to see what happens.

We decided to start trying for another when joseph was 8 mths old. It happened quiet fast as soon as we decided on trying i got pregnant. The age gap isnt too bad, but i have 2 in diapers right now. they are about 17 mths apart i think, my son was born august 2005 and my daughter dec 2006. Just as soon as you decided to start trying be ready , it could happen alot faster then you think. We thought it would take a few mths or longer to get pregnant with our 2nd but the 2 weeks he had off before coming to germany we had decided on starting to try to get pregnant and i ended up getting pregnant during that time.
