To ensure the health and well being of both mother and child, I understand it is advisable to wait before concieving again, but to be honest I don't know the actual figures.

Remember that pregnancy and early motherhood make a lot of demands on a woman's body and she'll need time to recover fully before concieving again. A colleague of mine had a child 19 months ago, and she is still losing her hair as a result of it not being as well nourished as it was before her child.

I would suggest that rather than rushing into having another child just because her body can, your friend should wait until it would be healthy for her to do so.

If she's not looking to conceive then I would suggest she uses contraception as soon as she becomes sexually active again.......it's just not worth the risk.
