I don't know whats come over me, I really don't.
I haven't done anything about contraception since having Cadence and I don't care. In fact if I got pregnant again I'd be so happy.
After never thinking I'd have children because of the pain factor- why the hell do I want to go through it again- straight after my first?
Me and Todd have spoken and we aren't dead set against the idea.
I know people do have children after another- but are there any risks I should be aware of?

i dont think there are any risks as such! my friend has a little girl same age as Kyle and she is due her 2nd in august so will have 14months between them! it wasnt planned but she is finding it quite hard work with being so tired and has been very run down with it! i think its just a personal choice really Kaitlyn was 19months when i got preg on Kyle but this time we r gonna ttc when Kyle is 1 some people think im mad 4 doing that but i dont want 2 bigger age gaps! i dont think i would plan 2 get pg straight away mainly cause its nice 2 have my body back 2 normal 4 a bit but thats just me

Lewis was 4 months old when i fell pregnant with matthew, and while it was hard sometimes coping with a toddler and having a diffacult pregnancy, I wouldnt change it for the world. they are great together and play really really well, because there isnt much of an age gap they are into the same things and its easier to bring up 2 young children at the same time than have large age gaps ( in my opinion )
you will also find that while Cadence is young when another baby is here she is young enough to adapt and there will be no new baby rivalry as it will just be normal to her.
I would honestly recommend having them close together, you will get people bumping into you and saying oh god love youll be rushed off your feet, youll be knackered etc etc but in all hosesty if your looking after 1 yound child theres not much differance in looking after 2 because they amuse eachother.
Good luck hun in whatever you decide to do

i wouldnt do a big age gap either! 2 1/2 -3yrs i think will be about my max! my sister has a bigger age gap as did my mum with me and they found it much harder getting back into the whole routine of it again wheres when u have them closer its not that long since u have done it b4 lol Kaitlyn was 2 and 4months when Kyle was born and even though yea it can be tiring its all worth it when u can watch them play like they do now

I'm going to have to forget further education. As i won't get a grant, or childcare- it sucks!
Oh well, im sure i'll work something out!
Just up to DP to pull his finger, or something else out!!

I'm so Sorry Amy. It sounds like you are doing better now.
I had a stream of Bottom-hole boyfriends before i found Todd. I thought they were nice at the time. I think me and Todd found each other at a good time- the rebound relationship isn't always bad!
I'd love to have a huge family- but I won't be disappointed if it doesn't happen for a few years :o)
