[quote=Anonymous]I’m 37 and have a 4 month old baby. My husband is two years older than I am. I am considering a second, and I’m wondering about ideal spacing. Before we got pregnant my husband and I were thinking we were one and done, with my husband more set on the idea than I was. I thought I only wanted one but I didn’t want to promise him anything because I wasn’t sure how I would feel after having the baby. It was super tough at the beginning but we’ve really loved having this baby and my husband recently opened up to me about possibly wanting a second. I am also open to the idea but a little less so than him. He is fine with whatever I decide and if we ultimately decide to have or can only have one that’s fine.

I’ve put not thought into age gaps because I only planned on one, but if we do decide to try to get pregnant again, what are your suggestions for when I should start trying. I had a c section so I’m supposed to wait a little longer. I realize no one can tell me about my fertility and things can change rapidly but as background I got pregnant three months before I turned 37 a month and a half after I stopped talking birth control. My sister recently got pregnant for the first time (not trying) at 42. I’m generally pretty healthy although I gained a lot of weight during my pregnancy that I would really like to lose before getting pregnant again. I’ve been exercising but not dieting much because I’m breastfeeding. I’m just enjoying my child for the time being but this is constantly at the back of my mind! My husband wants to wait until our child is 3 but I’m not sure if that’s a bad idea with our ages. Two under two seems crazy to me though.[/quote]
