I've heard to wait at a couple months after the baby's born to have sex. I guess your body needs to heal itself?

I've done a lot of reading on this. Ideally you shouldn't get pregnant again till your last baby is about year old. Reason being is that the rate of miscarriage and premature birth is so much higher during the first twelve mos. after your last birth. Other things too dealing w/ mom's health. I read a report, if you want I'll try to find it for you. Anyhow, your body needs alot of rest and time to heal before it goes through the rigors of being pregnant again. I know this from experience, because I have literally been pregnant since May of 2002. I'm pregnant for the fifth time. I lost the first and had complications w/ all three that made it. I had pre-eclampsia w/ the first two and I started to hemmorhage w/ my third that made it from my uterus just being stretched out for so long. W/ this one I spotted for about a week and feel exhausted. My body has not recooperated fully from any of my pregnancies. I have to say my third pregnancy I got pregnant on the patch, my fourth, we tried family planning, and this one I was nursing and didn't think I was ovulating. I love all my children, but the last two were a suprise and so is this one. I had to do it again. I would of tried my hardest to space them out a little more. It's so hard on your body and babies. Lets just say when this, being my fourth kid, my first born will only be 3 and 1/2 years old. That in itself is hard. I almost think it's harder than having multiples, because all the children are still young enough that they need a lot of attention from me and they also are a different stages in their babyhood and toddlerhood. It's a juggling act. If I were you, I would space them out a little. Don't do like me and get pregnant 4 mos. after each birth.
