We'd like to try again when Rory is about 1. We'd like them to be no more than 2 years apart. But I am with you, I am already thinking that I want to be pregnant again and she is only 11 weeks.

I'm having my IUD taken out in January.....we plan to start trying asap after that.  Matthew will be close to 2 before we start trying.  I know that I wouldn't be able to handle 2 under 2 if they have even remotely the same temperament.  Matthew's very demanding and gets into EVERYTHING! He would be close to 3 before another and he would be would be more self sufficient.

 We were planning on starting after my period this month (when Eliza was 9 months) but I got surprised with a BFP after my period in August so my kids will be 16 months apart.  I will probably try again when this one is 9 months old because I want to be done having children by time I am 35 (which will be in 2013).  I also I want them to all be semi close together (ie no more than 18-24 months between each kid).

I actually think it is easier when the kids are really close in age.  My two older ones are not even a year apart and raising them has been sooo easy.  They occupy each other and they are best friends.  They are always together which is weird for siblings.  They are now 6-7.  Then I had my little girl.  She is 3.  That age difference is horrible.  My boys are at the age they wanna do alot more and my little girl is too young so it causes problems.  Now I am pregnant with baby #4 which is a girl and there is gonna be 3 years between them.  I am hating the age difference.

Whne my baby is born on Friday, I will have 6 kids 6.5 years old and younger; two adopted, 4 birthed.  Two of them will be under two  ~~  three of them will be 3 and under.    I suspect I would be pregnant again when the new baby is between 8 -15 months old.  I exclusivley breastfeed and that keeps my periods away for several months.  My last two babies were conceived in my 9th and 13th months post partum.

God Bless! Jen

I am struggling. I am 37 and have a healthy 7 year old. I had the GB in March. I have not used birth control for 7 years and still nothing. I have tried clomid and IUI. I have lost 103 lbs sine March and I thought that you become so fertile after loosing the weight? I have not taken any bc and am not preventing pregnancy, but nothing..Any suggestions. I mean, I did not want to be 40 w. an infant, but it looks like it is not gonna happen for me. I should be so blessed that I have one, but I long for another. HELP!!

You already know my feelings. It took a long time to get Aiden. He just turned 2 months. I am 35 and will be 36 next Month. I have to wait at least 6 months post c-section before TTC. So, in February we will see what happens.

I do not have kids yet, so I might just be talking out of my butt, but I plan to have two one right after the other and I plan to start trying this June.

My reasoning is that they might be closer being close to the same age, go through the same exeriences, and also for us as parents just having to go through every stage once at the same time.  My sister and I are 5.5 years apart and not close at all, even now as adults.  My brother and I are two years apart and were very close growing up, so that's a lot of how I'm basing my decision.  I'm also going to be 30 in December and don't know how long it will take me to try, but I want to be done before I'm 35, hopefully done by 33.
