If I'm having a girl ilk be getting my tubes tied but if its another boy I'm going to wait only 6 months before we try again BC I refuse to give birth once I hit 30. I have no special reason for it I've just always said it since I was young. No babies after 30!!!

It's not safe to get pregnant that early. And if your breastfeeding your milk will dry up. Should weight at least a year.

I'll just tell you my experience with this. I had a baby in 2011.. and at 12 weeks postpartum, I found out I was pregnant again. Because of that happening so quickly, I had some issues.. My uterus prolapsed and was bulging out of my vagina when I went to the bathroom. If I barely even strained, you could see it start coming out. I was told it was because I had a baby so soon. I didn't have enough time to heal up.

I will say however, that I was able to deliver vaginally, and we waited until the baby was 14 months old before we start trying for another baby. I'm 37 weeks now with a boy and so far, we're doing well... My kids are the best of friends.. It's a decision you and your partner need to have an agreement and understanding on. No one knows what's best for you, but you. It's probably a good idea to discuss this with your doctor. Just for reassurance as to what you two want.

My exs. Grandma had 15 kids everyone she got pregnant while breastfeeding within 6 months apart.  prenatal care for woman has came along way over the years so no I doubt you'll die from it. Anyone can die from childbirth at any point so I don't think k back to back has any reason ing. Just my thoughts though
