So are you ready for a second baby?

Having another baby so soon after the birth of the last one could be a challenge - just ask any mum of twins! So make sure it's a challenge you're prepared for. Plan your finances and talk things through with your partner and, if necessary, a healthcare professional.



Although there's no "right" time to have a baby, often the 18-24 month gap between children is one many parents feel comfortable with. If your work/life balance feels right and your partner is supportive, it may be a great time to consider adding to your family. Have a chat with a healthcare professional about the idea, if necessary.



If it's been a few years since you last had a baby in your life, you'll be aware there's a lot to think about. Perhaps you're settled in a routine with your family, work and social life all running like clockwork. Remember, any new arrivals may throw your well-managed routines up in the air, so take time to talk through your feelings with your partner and, if necessary, a healthcare professional.
