Not Planning a Baby  Discussion Forum

Hi,

We have almost one Year old Baby boy & not in the plans for second baby but conceived it. We are in a big delima to carry it or not.

What should be the ideal gap between two kids, please suggest. Archana replied. Hihi. A fortunate one for sure.. There is, generally, no ideal gap. It depends on how efficiently you can manage your 2 kids! 2 for 2 is the deal and your kid will always have a sibling who will a permanent friend. I hope you go ahead. Its is the best gift to give to your kids and see you will always know that your kids have each other . Happy parenting guys Khushi replied.

Mel replied. If you want to have 2 kids eventually, then may as well continue this pregnancy. Also, if you have help, or if you think you can manage it, then go ahead. It shouldn' t be that you abort this baby, and then later when you want a baby, you are unable to conceive.

By the time the baby is born, you son will be more than 18 months old, so the gap is fine. But, be sure not to neglect your baby boy, since he is still small. Even though the new baby will seem smaller (relatively), your little boy is also small.

Personally, I feel that babies choose their parents, so if baby no. 2 has chosen you, I don' t think getting rid of him / her is the right thing to do. But, the end decision is yours.

All the best.
