We wanted them close in age so we decided trying for #2 when our first turned 10 months. It will be tough at first but it will definitely be worth it for them to grow up and play together! :)

@jessig2006 I do think I need to be more sensitive about how he feels about it but at the same time if he wanted a baby earlier rather than later it would only make sense to start trying asap.

I was very aware that I would feel guilty and I think I still will but I know in the long run this will be a good thing. I just don't want to be alone in wanting another baby

@rndmshtt haha! Amazing 🤣

I am thinking about it. I'd love for my daughter to have a sister or brother. Also I just always wanted 2 kids. I wasn't ready when she was younger. She just turned 2 and I don't want her to be too much older than my next baby. I just don't know how to bring it up to my bf without arguing about how we didn't do this earlier

Aww I love that you wanted to wait to have that special time with her 💗 I totally understand that. When we got pregnant with our second I was ecstatic and instantly felt guilty. Like I would be taking something away from our first son and also myself having a baby so quickly but there was no going back at that point. And if trying to talk to him about having baby #2 causes an argument that makes things a little stressful and difficult. I hope he gets on board and gets excited! There's definitely a transition phase in going from 1 to 2 but it is so worth it and it doesn't last long. Our second had tummy troubles so I understand the sleepless nights and difficulty. We got lucky and after a couple of months and every formula they make not working it turned out a probiotic did the trick for him!

@rndmshtt wow that's wild! But I have heard that your chances of getting pregnant after giving birth are higher. Maybe that's a myth. Not sure haha

@queeneagle I plan on potty training in the summer but I don't want them to be too far apart in age. I don't mind if they're both in diapers. If I'm in it I might as well be in it haha but I do understand that train of thought and it's probably the smarter thing to do but I'm already having those baby dreams and getting baby fever. Pretty strongly.

@jessig2006 i always wanted 2. Me and my boyfriend knew we would eventually have kids. We got pregnant by accident a bit earlier than planned but we were still happy and we had our daughter and she's literally the best thing that has ever happened to me but she did scar me a bit in the beginning. She had acid reflux and she didn't start sleeping through her nights for a long time. Waking up in pain and crying but as soon as we figured out the problem we got a prescription for antacids and everything from then on was just regular baby stuff. Now she just turned 2 and I don't want to wait much longer to have another one but my bf wanted another one sooner. I didn't. I wanted to focus on our first child and enjoy her as much as I could before adding the last member of our family. Seeing as it's my body I feel like I was allowed to have a bigger say in that. The last time I brought it up it turned into an argument. I just want my last baby to not be a surprise and to actually enjoy the process of trying. I don't know

We had talked about it after having our daughter that we would try again after she turned 1 years old in July. It took us 3 years to have her, so we had thought it would take quite a bit of time till we concieved again. Well we were wrong! Haha got pregnant soon right after now i am 14 weeks.

When my daughter was weaned and potty trained at age 3 and I started getting baby dreams and baby fever everytime I saw mom's with tiny babies. Since my daughter was more independent I figured it was the perfect time.

We knew we wanted at least 4 kids before we started. We knew we wanted them close together. My husband is the oldest of 4 kids born in less than 5 years. I have one brother and he is one year and two weeks older than me. It was actually a conversation we had pretty early in our relationship. I knew what I wanted and I think it's important to be honest and forthcoming. It's a relationship I wouldn't have continued had he not been on the same page.
