Sibling: If you are planning to have other children now would be a good time to get pregnant s your older child will be almost three years if age

The decision is : yours. Ask your many advisors if they plan to help you both financially and by providing child care if you take their advice! However, if you & your spouse are planning to have a 2nd child, it is true that now is a good time. There are advantages & disadvantages of being any " only child." Do what feels right for your family.
