Should I consider another baby or not????

[CountryGirl2011]

My husband is wantign to have another child and has wanted to ever  since we had our daughter. We both want 2 children but I want to wait another year, and he dont. I do have the IUD parag. ( Copper)    I am wanting to see what do you all think I should do? Should I wait or go ahead and try? I mean we both love the idea of another baby but I just wanted to wait for our daughter to be almost 3, she is turning 2 in Sep 2014, so I mean I just need advice

My two oldest children are 25months apart, we are expecting our 3rd, at time of delivery there will be 4 and 6 years between the kids and baby. I enjoy have the girls close, but I'm also enjoying the age gap between them and new baby, they are so helpful getting ready for baby, and I know (at least my oldest) will be a great help when baby arrives.
But it really is all on you, if you are really ready or not, and only you know that for yourself.

I think if you're not ready you should by no means to give in to your husband. Age gap between siblings can be a good thing. Little one would benefit much more from it and you will still have plenty of time to give your undivided attention to your first child. I mean if you're asking this question it seems to me that you're not ready yet.

Well I am ready but I just thought it would be better to let her get a little older, but every where I look everyone is starting to get preg and it makes me miss mine being so small, and needing me. It is like she dont need me anymore. I miss that well she does but not for everything like before, She is very independent. Makes me sad. But I mean we could afford another one and are ready but I thought it would be better to wait for her.

My children will be 5yrs apart. My son is extremely excited about having a baby brother. There's nothing wrong with spacing them out, not all children "act out". Personally I feel like it is ultimately the woman's decision to decide if and when she wants more children.  I mean we are the ones that carry them and for the most part are the ones that care for them.

Cant tell you what to do but if you arent ready in every single way then dont do it.

Its better to have a small amount of time between siblings, because once you start trying when your daughter is 3, you won't have another one until she's about 4, that means she's had 4 Years of being an only child. My experience from my brothers kids, waiting that long makes them act out. But everyone is unique, if you aren't ready, you aren't ready.
