2nd baby?

I'm not pregnant right now, I had my son Dec. 6th, I know I want another baby and I don't want them to be far apart in age, my question is what do you think is a good age difference and when is it safe for my body and baby to get pregnant again? Thanks in advance:)

Congratulations! :) I don't know...I guess I'm kind of just leaving it up to God, we didn't plan on our son he was just a happy accident and it turns out it was the perfect time so maybe I'll just go with the flow unless the flow lasts long than two years:) lol I would test again just to be sure.

I had my daughter, when she was 18 months I had my first son, when he was 17 months I had my second son. I had 3 kids under 3 for a short while and with no family to help and hubby worked full time, i was positively zombified for the first 6 months of my 2nd sons life....but it did get easier and they re 7, 5 and 4 now and get on very well together. Am expecting baby number 4, my last, any day now and after having a 4 year gap and my other 3 are toilet trained day and night and independent, am looking forward to having a new baby again.

No I havent gotten my period back, I heard some women don't while they're breastfeeding. I bled one time and thought i could be pregnant but tested and was negative...we use condoms right now but the first one broke. I'm just nervous I don't want to rush it because in the first years there's a lot I feel like I could I miss of my son being pregnant or having a newborn

I'm expecting baby #3 and mine are all 2 years apart that way they are potty trained, and can do a lot for themselves and I'm not trying to carry two babies at the same time.

I have four kids now and pregnant with number 5. Mine are all two years apart. Its seems to work good that way. The youngest is potty trained before baby gets here. My doctor said it takes a year for your body to recover.
