My first baby is almost 7 months now and we are thinking maybe about a second one but not sure if its too soon. How much gap did you all keep between two? Worried about my body not being ready yet.
Doctors usually say wait at least 18 months to 2 years between deliveries, the body needs to recover properly. I had my two with a 3 year gap and it was much easier on me. Don't rush it.
One thing to know, breastfeeding can delay periods but it's not a sure way to avoid pregnancy. I know someone who conceived again very soon while feeding. Talk to your doctor about safe options.
I'd really suggest you let your body heal first before thinking of the next one. I had some complications and conceiving too soon would have been risky for me. Your gynac will guide you based on your case.
If you had a C-section like me, they generally advise a longer gap so the scar heals fully. My doctor said atleast 18 months to 2 years. Please confirm with your own gynac as it depends on your delivery.
