[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]2 under 2 kicked my ass. Why don’t you wait until the second is born?

I was so exhausted and our marriage took a huge hit when second was born. We ended up having a third 5 years later.[/quote]

2nd is already here and if we want the shot for a 3rd we will likely need to get moving on it before life is running smoothly again (wean around 6mo so period returns around 8/9mo or so and then start "trying").  So we still have some time to see what life with 2 is like but I think life will still be in the suck phase at 9mo and I likely don't have the time to wait until #2 is 2-3 yo to see what that's like and decide to start trying for a 3rd then.

Why won’t you have time to wait? A few months won’t make  difference.

I personally would just wait until you wean at 8-9 months, maybe a year like most moms. Don’t use birth control. Plenty of moms get pregnant while nursing. That’s a myth that you can’t get pregnant while breastfeeding. My friend just never got her period and didn’t even know she was pregnant.
