I started TTC when DS was 6 months, got PG when he was 9months.

Id say wait until she is 6 months.

Gives you a bit of time with her.

Cheers hun. I won't be trying that soon! I'll enjoy these two bit longer. Dd2 is 3 and bit weeks so still tiny although She's getting huge already

you mad women is your 2DD a month yet?

I didnt BF with my first my milk never came in and my period came back the next month so in theory you could start ttc within a month

I agree, wait for your hormones to calm down first

Sheherazadethegoat · 04/10/2007 14:47

i guess as soon as your periods return

ideally a year to recover, but lots of women get pregnant sooner

just wait for the hormonal high to wear off, many, many women feel like this the weeks after having a baby. your body is in a primal state, and very hormonal, and going, 'woo hoo ! that was fun, let's do it again!!!'

pregnancy and birth do take a toll on your body and mind, so give yourself a chance to take a breather

or not
