When are you planning to try for a baby?

Hello everyone,

I was wondering,
My boyfriend and I would like to have a second child. Our daughter is now 11 weeks old (born 15-12-2017), and we'd really like to have another one soon, also for her sake, if it works out.
My question is: since my studies officially end in July 2019, would it be better to try now so that I give birth around summer time, or wait until around December like my daughter?
I'd actually prefer a summer baby!
And what do you all think about the idea in general, having another little one so soon?

Thanks in advance xx

    I'd go for it if you're at that point, and when it comes to planning, experience teaches that this is actually not doable: it happens as it happens!
    Wouldn't you try to get as far as possible with your studies?

    Yeah, but it's still 9 months away! So I guess by the time the baby comes, my studies will be done, right?

    If you can plan it out, I’d take your leave into account a bit and consider that it gets a bit heavier towards the end, so you’re not already done and giving birth in July. That sounds pretty stressful to me.
    But I think it’ll all work out fine anyway. I had a girl in my training who gave birth during her studies, and every lesson day (one day a week) she had contractions. She even got her certificate

    Yes exactly! I already have 1 of 15-12-2017! Then it also worked out with school and stuff, with school it doesn't matter so much but internship hours... that's going to be a thing.
