I told myself 20 months apart sounded perfect and that's how it worked out. Our planning hasn't been as exact with #3. I just want them about 2 years apart give or take a couple of months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-decide-when-to-have-another#post-2215627 Mon, 22 Jun 2015 19:02:15 +0000 catlady 2215627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We know we want another, so we're just trying to balance the "when" - right now, we're waiting a short while longer to go for a certain age gap, and to aim for a warm weather baby (I disliked being on maternity leave during cold months with LO). However, the idea of timing is tough for me because our first pregnancy ended in miscarriage which caused a 6 month gap between when we would have had that baby and when we actually ended up with LO. I need to remind myself not to be bummed out if the timing doesn't actually work out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-decide-when-to-have-another#post-2215522 Mon, 22 Jun 2015 16:45:49 +0000 MoonMoon 2215522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's hard to ever have the perfect timing or 100% certainty! No advice, just commiseration. We're waffling between stopping at 1 or going for 2. I'm 36 so I don't feel like I have tons of time. But I'm also in the process of switching careers, so... ack! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-decide-when-to-have-another#post-2215515 Mon, 22 Jun 2015 16:41:16 +0000 Becksabee 2215515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How do you decide if you want to try for another baby and when?</p> <p>the first pregnancy was early in our relationship (he's almost 4 now) and unplanned. We knew already we wanted at least one more. </p> <p>We got married last January and I was pregnant with our second by the next month - he's 8 months now. </p> <p>We both kinda want another but not 100%. I'd like to be done by 35 ( I'll be 33 this year). I'm in my best friends wedding next April and I don't want to be pregnant for that. We were talking about trying after that. </p>
