Questions & Answers

i had my 2 children 15 months apart. my daughter was only 7 months old when i got pregnant and i had some complications during the pregnancy because of it. also, it was a very difficult pregnancy, my body just was not ready to do it again. then there was the difficulty of having 2 babies at once, i dont think i slept anymore then an hour a night for the first couple months,,, there was always someone awake needing me.
after that, i waited until my youngest was almost 2 to get pregnant again and this pregnancy has been great. no complications, and im 37 weeks and feeling awesome, where last time at 37 weeks i could hardly move i was in so much pain.. i think doctors recommend 2 years between babies so your body can adjust and replenish the nutrients needed to provide for a growing baby. but in my opinion waiting until your baby is a year or so would be ok.

Thats great advice, thank you! I do worry my little one would miss out if i had another too soon!

I don't think you started late at all. Where I live 30 is a young start!!!
I started with my first at 31. I got pregnant when he was 13 months. I am now 38 and pregnant with third, I still feel relatively young as most the moms I know had a kid whether first, second, third at 40+!
I will say, I can't tell you when you can physically try again, but mine are 22 months apart and it was hard. It was like having two babies at once. That being said, having two close has been lovely. They play.
I know I am rambling, but that time alone with your first is really precious. To be able to really concentrate on one child and enjoy each little milestone is nice. It's not that you don't enjoy them with a second or third, but you can't give your 100% attention when you are caring for another child at the same time.
