S is almost 9 months old and DH would like to start ttc now! I'm off to the GP on Monday for a breast exam and will chat to her about it - I'm not concerned about weaning so much since he already has only two b/f a day. (I had to supplement with formula when I went back to work). My weight is fine and I'm generally healthy although could probably eat a little better ie less chocolate! So from the point of view of the pregnancy I'm not that concerned, more when the baby arrives, iykwim.

How did you all cope with your babes close in age? If I did get pg right away it would mean they'd be just over 18 months apart - and I know that lots of you have had babies much closer together than that, so it's definitely doable! I don't have any family up here apart from my sister, and she has three of her own, plus she works, so she's supportive but in words only (which is obviously a great help, of course). My PIL are coming over hopefully sometime next year but they're relying on selling their house so who knows when that will be? And I don't know where they will be living - somewhere close to us, hopefully but depends where they can buy. Plus we are moving to a new suburb which is quite a way from where we live now.

I'm just concerned about how I'll go, and what things to beware of so that S is alright - he's so lovely right now and I don't want him to miss out on anything just because we want to have them close in age.

Any advice or stories you want to share, I'd be really grateful to hear them!
