Planning for 2nd baby

2022-11-19 19:54:59
I just delivered a baby at the age of 37 a few months ago, I want to know what should be the ideal age gap for the next child considering my current age. Also what are the chances of conception at that suggested age? Would it be advisable to have another child at the age of 39-40?

You should wait for at least 2 years after the date of birth of the first child. If your first pregnancy was a natural conception then you can conceive naturally again.
