For already Mums

How long did you wait before trying for your second. Is 6months too soon in terms of the baby and your health?

Im currently on my third. My first to my second 14 years apart....obviously too far but from my 2nd to 3rd, they will be 1yr 4 months apart if we stay on schedule.  I feel over whelmed because i do it all alone 95% of the time. Unless you got support it can get tuff and stressful physically and emotionally.    All kids are different, but i think if i waited 2 more mths like i initially planned it would be perfect. Because your toddler wld be more independent by time your bigger in your pregnancy and dealing with the discomfort and side effects.

Is great cause they keep each other busy but it was hard when they were babies. plus my body only made it to 35 Weeks with my daughter and they think part of it was cause I'm small and the back to back pregnancies. otherwise I had no issues
