HOW LONG SHOULD I WAIT AFTER MY LAST PREGNANCY
During pregnancy , a woman’s body changes markedly and this intensifies after giving birth. The woman after being pregnant needs to allow a period of time for her body to regain its initial state , that is, to recover and recover all those nutrients lost after having had the previous child.
Each woman will recover her body levels in time, but it is best to wait at least a year before getting pregnant again, since if you get pregnant six months after going through the previous delivery , you have a better chance of the future baby is born premature or underweight, because your body was not in the best state.
If for personal reasons you want to be pregnant very often after the first delivery, you can get pregnant after quarantine (the day your baby was born). However, each body is different and it is best to consult with your doctor , since perhaps quarantine is not the most suitable date for you and you may have to wait a little longer. Remember that if you have low iron, after delivery you will transfer part of it in the placenta to the child and you may remain anemic.
You should bear in mind that if you are over 35 years old it will be perhaps more difficult for you to get pregnant and, in addition, you should take much better care of yourself during and between deliveries so that both you and your children enjoy the best health. The bad thing about being older than this age is that if you want to have more than one child you should have them as often as possible, because unfortunately after 35 it is more difficult to get pregnant and the chances are less.
IS IT THE BEST TIME?
As soon as you know that your body is ready to have another child, there are other very important aspects that you should also take into account, for example, if you are going to have time to take care of two babies of such a young age in a row. It is very important that you and your partner agree one hundred percent before having another child, since it is a very big responsibility and both of you must be involved in the well-being of your children .
Children up to three years of age need constant attention, so if you have more than one of them as babies at the same time, you will have double work . There are people who know how to control this type of situation very well or have a lot of experience. However, if you are a new mother , you may want to wait until your first baby is between two and a half and three years old to have the second.
You may have the help of a family member or your partner who can take care of your children , without having to fall all the responsibility. If so, it may be easier for you to have a baby in quarantine or a year after having the other , but you should also bear in mind that the expenses will multiply again. It is true that you can reuse the clothes or other accessories of the older brother, but there are many of these objects for babies that are not reusable.
If your economic situation is good , you are in good health (a check-up with a doctor before getting pregnant again is ideal) and you have time and desire to take care of your two babies at the same time, you can get pregnant as soon as the doctor I recommend it to you.
As for the older brother, if the little one is born with a short time of difference, it will be such a baby that he will not have jealousy or very few , but as the older brother becomes aware that the mother needs to dedicate more time to the new baby, between the 2 and 4 years old, he will feel jealous and may want to draw your attention excessively, which will make it difficult for you both to get pregnant and to care for both children.
