When did you try for a second

You are brave. I am so tired.

My daughter was 9 months when I got pregnant with our second. I thought coming off the pill it would take a few tries, meaning months, to get pregnant again but it was only a few days. They are 18 mo the apart, and I like the age gap between them. Didn't breastfeed my first because I couldn't produce enough milk, so can't answer on that

I know you are not asking advice but i just want you to think about some things. Dont take this the wrong way i m not trying to be mean please but whats the rush? I say if you can give yourself the time you should try to, i know baby fever is wild but its not just about wanting another but also letting your body rest. Kinda like going bar hoping two days in a row, can you do it? Of course! But should you maybe try to let your body rest? Absolutely 😂 it is said that physically it takes 2 years to heal and mentally it takes 4. Additionally, babies are “easy” toddlerhood is a wild ride and i cant imagine doing it on purpose with two at the same time. But as always its your decision and your decision only, maybe you have that calling ♥️

Got pregnant 6months pp it was too much on my body i would say wait at least two years. My bones literally hurt.. labor was super easy though!

Also i would wait until your little one understands more like my lo still doesnt understand no or stop which makes it super stressful when watching a newborn

Started trying again after 2 years, navigate your way around your first child, learn your parenting style , mentally re-engage with yourself and your partner and most importantly let your body heal… let your cervix fully heal itself before you start trying… research shows this takes atleast 12-18 months, if you can just give yourself some time. There is no rush at all.

I know it’s your decision but as others have said your body ideally needs at least 18 months to recover and prepare for another pregnancy. I fell pregnant again when my first son was 21 months old and still breastfeeding. My milk dried up around 16 weeks but we continued to dry nurse throughout the pregnancy.

Definitely had baby fever early on but really wasn’t in the right mental space or physically recovered enough until around 20 months. I thought it would take a little longer to get pregnant too but nope🫣😅. But they’re about 2 yrs and 3-4months apart. This will probably be the minimum amount of time between any future kids for me. It really depends on your recovery and your situation, how much help/support you are able to get compared to what you need. Between my husband’s work schedule and not having any other support around I need the longer gaps bc it’s really just me taking care of kids the majority of the time. As for breastfeeding, my first was and is still nursing. Around 20 something weeks is when your milk starts to change, so if they keep nursing past that they’ll probably just keep nursing. If you do wean your first before you have your second your milk will start coming in again for the new baby around that 20 something week mark.

Our eldest was 2 years old before we even thought about it 😆
