Have I lost my mind to want to start trying for another baby when DS is only 10mo?

And, for that matter, is it advisable? My heart tells me I want another baby, dh is happy to try but I worry that my body isn't up to another pregnancy and, more to the point, delivery.

I am 35 so also acutely aware of the fact that I don't have limitless years to sit around and decide.

Because ds was concieved so quickly my dh won't take me seriously when I say that it might take a lot longer this time.

We took a couple of chances on holiday last week and it was about mid month but I'm sure nothing will come of it. I have no symptoms and I was starting to feel a bit odd at this point with ds.

So many issues in one post.....

dunno but can sympathise re age thing.. re body thing - is there any particular reason why you are worried? you could get yourself checked out to put your mind at rest. And whilst you've no reason to worry its not that uncommon to take longer to conceive second time around (so have every sympathy as if and when we try again wont' be leaving it long as I'm in exactly same boat as you re age except dd just 3 weeks old !!)

And if you did conceive now would be an 18month gap - have a few friends who have this gap and seems to work quite well. TBH there are so many views on optimum age gap I'd just go with what you two feel happy with.
