Pregnancy?
I have a problem. My dream of being a mother was to have only two children fairly close together. Unfortunately I had the first child a little earlier than intended so in order to have the second child I would also have to have him or her earlier than intended. I'm so confused and frustrated. My husband really wants another child and so do I, mentally I feel like I am ready. But financially I'm afraid it could be a disaster. It's not fair that money can dictate when and how you have your own children but that is the way of things in this world. I'm also afraid that my parents will be disappointed with me if I do become pregnant. Not that it would usually matter except that they have been the ones helping me and my husband support our family by providing a little extra income. At the moment we are drowning in medical bills from my last pregnancy even after 80% coverage.
I wish I had known what to do then and I wish I knew what to do now. My birth control has run out and I'm torn between starting a new round or trying for a new child....

I think it is cheaper to have the children closer together for sharing toys, baby equipment etc its also nice for them to grow up together having someone to play with (fight with) and generally a friend for life (or at least until teenagers)my children have two years between them and although they don't like each other at the moment (teenagers) they really miss each other when ones away (sleepovers or weekends away)But you have medical bills to keep ontop of which i have no experience with so on that side of it i cannot comment Good luck with your dicision.
As long as the children grow up with love and respect they dont tend to mind about the age gap with siblings.

I have two girls 14 months apart. The second was a surprise happening only the first time we were together after our first child was born. It was scary as we didn't know how we would pay for things as my wife and I were both in our 20s, but I think its the best thing we ever did, Abby is 2 and Madison is 1 and already walking and playing with her sister. Having them close together meant we already had everything we needed and it wasn't much of an additional expense. I imagine when they both go to college or both want cars, it will be hard affording them both at the same time, but I have 17 years to figure that out.
I expect good things to happen, so I'm confident things will work out, I love my kids dearly and wouldn't have it any other way.
Your family is first, you could move to a cheaper location, sacrifice on going out to eat or sell your car and buy a junker, but you can never have kids earlier once you are older and having them when you are young means growing up with them, being young enough to enjoy the fun parts of their lives, not going to the high school graduation in a walker with a hearing aide, like most of the 40ish new parents I see now... who wants to be 60 when their kids are just turning 18....
probably no help but its just one man's opinion. you think its expensive but its not.
