Hey girls me and my bf marc have been talkin about maybe trying for another baby soon,

.Teegan is only 11 weeks old and we have been talkin about trying for another in a few months, im kinda excited I love being a mummy :d we recently bought a new house too and just finishing doing it up it has another bedroom to so theres plenty of space. I think am also gona stop workin and maybe do hairdressing part-time I know some of you may think its silly tryin for a baby so soon but I want 2 children and not anymore than 2 year apart, I think u have a realy close bond with your brother or sister it yous are round about the same age. I think it will b realy nice for teegan having a little brother or sister not that younger than her.

So guys hat you all think

I think that as long as you've thought things through really carefully and are not just acting on hormones then go for it! If you are sure you can cope with two young children and provide them with a stable and loving home then there is no reason to wait if you don't want to.


Personally, my son is 20 months old and I am totally not ready to have another but I do understand the strong maternal urges because I get them too.


Good luck! Smile

Oh .Jesus. You're what? 15?!?!?!?!

Think about what you're doing before you get in over your head.


It's ignorant to bring more baba's into this horrible world that you won't be able to afford. Get financially stable, mentally stable, and mature, andthen have more babas.

Maybe even reach your twenties??

Edited to add: to all of you who think i'm being mean or judgmental, i'm not. We all know that i'm not one to judge.
But uhhhh, to encourage a teenager to have another baby when the one she has now is just shy of 3 months????? I would kick yalls ass if I were her mother.

We all know what gets into our heads after our baby isn't a newborn anymore. "oh, this is fun, I could easily have another one!" but we allll know it's easier said than done to take care of 2.
Especially when your a teen.

I refuse to encourage such immaturity and irresponsibility. If yall choose to egg her on to get knocked up again, then so be it.

This is nothing against you natczee, it's in hope to help. I don't want you to get in over your head and then realize when your man leaves you, that hey, maybe 2 kids so close together(at such a young age) isn't a good idea....

That's a little more reasonable if that's true.

I, myself, at 21, could see us having another child. But, I know, realisitically, how hard that is.

Before .Nana, I was sole caretaker of 2 infants, 11 months apart. It was hard as hell, but prepared me for motherhood *big time*!!! I raised them until they were 2 & 3. I had them since 13 months and 2 months.

I wouldn't mind having another baby now, but .Baron does. He wants .Nana to have her time to shine...Then we can bring in another baba.

I want my children no more than 2 years apart as well...But i'm not going to purposfully get pregnant when my baby is 11 weeks.

me too, 3 years tops. I just couldn't imagine putting my body through it all again any sooner. I think we're going to try for #2 when finn is around 12-18 months.

I'm thinking about having another (hope lightning doesn't strike me down for this). I was totally against having another at first. But that urge for a girl is kicking my @$$. I want a little pink m&m and I want her close in age to chu so that they can be close like my brother and sister are. Not 15-16 years apart like me and my bro and sis. I don't feel like i'm related to them at all

Having another baby is a good idea and no one can tell you what you should or should not do but my opinion is to wait 12 to 16 months, give your body time to heal. Give yourselves some .Teegan time. I waited a little over a year and I am glad that I did but that was me and whatever you decide, I wish you the best!

I would give your self a year to heal up...I think that it takes about a year for your body to totally heal it's self after the birth of a baby.

Natty, .I think that if you feel that you'll be ready &that it seems like the right thing to do in your mind, then go for it! Only you can decide when the time is right!

Why did you ask us what we thought if you don't want to hear a negative opinion?

I personally would wait. Your daughter is still very young, and you haven't hit the hard parts yet: teething, ear infections, terrible twos, potty training, etc. And think of the time you can spend with .Teegan on her own, making her feel like she's #1 in your eyes. I would give her a year or so of concentrated attention before considering adding a sibling.

My daughter is a few weeks older than yours, and my body still doesn't feel 100%. I think that if I got pregnant again, I would feel worse this time around than the first time! Not to mention, I would feel badly that I couldn't care for .Alyvia very welll if I had morning sickness, backaches, swollen feet...

Do whatever you want to do. But I think you should wait a while longer.

I'm guessing she wanted everyone to be like "oh yeaa girl, have anther one"....But instead she got a couple "go for it" replies and 3 realistic ones (2 from me)....

Natczee, I wasn't trying to be mean, but I just don't understand your motives!
