How long will it take to have a second baby?

Many families hope to have two children, a boy and a girl, to make a perfect couple. Although family planning is still in progress, having only one child will definitely put the couple under great pressure in the future, and the child will also be very lonely. So, how long after giving birth can you have a second child? If you want to know the answer, please read the following carefully!

How long after a normal birth can you have a second child?

How long after a normal birth can you have a second child? Generally, it is better to have a second child one year after a normal birth, which will not affect your body's recovery.

Natural childbirth causes relatively little harm to the body. If there is no episiotomy and the uterus has no wound, theoretically you can get pregnant as long as you have your period. However, considering the recovery of the body, it is recommended not to have a second child too quickly, because the body and the uterus need a period of rest and recovery. In addition, the first baby still needs care, including breastfeeding, daily care, etc.

If a mother breastfeeds her first baby after giving birth naturally, it is best to consider pregnancy after the baby is weaned. This will help the body recover better and also help the second baby grow and develop better.

Although family planning is still in progress, for families where one of the spouses is an only child, being able to have a second child is really a great treat! It fulfilled the wishes of many mothers-in-law and grandmothers. But for mothers who have given birth by caesarean section, the timing of having a second child is very particular. Let’s study it below.

How long after a caesarean section can I have a second child?

After a caesarean section, a new mother will have to wait two years before she can get pregnant again!

After a caesarean section, the knife wound on the uterine wall cannot heal well in a short period of time. If you get pregnant too early, the continuously developing fetus will cause the uterus to continue to grow, and the uterine wall will become thinner, making the connective tissue at the previous caesarean section incision lack elasticity. In addition, the fresh scar can easily rupture in the late pregnancy or during delivery, causing massive abdominal bleeding in minutes, and even endangering the lives of mother and child.

Through the introduction above, I believe you already know how long it will take to have a second child after giving birth! In fact, the time to have a second child is related to the woman’s physical condition and whether the first birth was a natural birth or a caesarean section. Generally speaking, a caesarean section causes greater harm to a woman’s body, so it may take longer to conceive a second child. Therefore, mothers who want to have a second child must recover quickly!
