Thinking about expanding your family? Here are a few things to consider:
Physical Recovery: Doctors often recommend waiting at least 18–24 months between pregnancies for your body to fully recover.
Emotional Readiness: Ask yourself if you and your partner feel mentally and emotionally ready to welcome another child.
Logistics: Consider childcare, finances, work schedules, and the needs of your first child before making a decision.
Sibling Prep: When the time comes, start talking to your older child about becoming a big brother or sister. Involve them in small tasks to make the transition easier.
