[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s best to wait much longer if you want to give your second child the best chance at being healthy. I guess you aren’t nursing but even then, your body needs to recover just from the pregnancy.[/quote]

OP here. I am breastfeeding but I fail to see why what even matters? [/quote]

Np, but the Hormones in breastfeeding generally discourage pregnancy (but aren’t 100%, obviously.). We have a 2 year age gap and it is was so so hard on me.  My pregnancy and year one were miserable.  I was the most depressed and struggled more than anything else I’ve ever done trying to care for an infant and a toddler.  Felt like I was neglecting the toddler and the baby, and was so exhausted trying to keep up with both of them.  And I only work part time from home with decent husband support.  Be really sure and be all in.  Have support and back up.  It definitely takes a big physical toll on women too, calcium levels, vitamins, etc.  I’m pretty healthy but I know it’s taken a toll to carry and breastfeed two kids for three years starting at age 37.  I think ideally your body needs 2 years to full recover from carrying a baby but we didn’t have that time.

All that said, I’m glad the kids have each other, and glad we did it.  [/quote]
