My 2nd and 3rd were 18 months apart and had a 3 1/2 too. Loved them being close in again… You can do it.,
I have 3 boys and my youngest and middle are close in age. They play together a lot and honestly are each other’s best friend. You will get through it and it will work out.
My youngest nephew and niece are close in age but they are the best friends and super close
I had my first 3 in 3 years than a 5.5 year gap for baby #4.
I have a 2 yr old and a almost 7 month old 20 months apart
My mother had six children in nine and a half years. Lots work but we turned out ok
I had 6 babies in just under 7 years. I wouldnt trade it for anything. They’re all best friends and they all play well together most days lol.

My oldest is 3, my middle child is 2 and I am pregnant, due in October. It can be stressful at times, but really I am glad I had them close because I’ll have all girls and they will be best friends. Well for the most part lol.

My oldest was 6 months when I found out I was pregnant with my 2nd. And my 2nd had just turned 2 a month before I had my 3rd. Mine are all girls so there’s a ton of drama lol but from day to day 2 of them are best friends and then the next they’re not lol you’ll be able to handle it just fine. It’s your 3rd, you’ve been around the block. Just make sure to make sure each child has a special moment with you every day and you’ll be golden 
good luck!
If you think about it that’s not really that close your middle child will be going on Two years old What is it that close in age they will at least have a playmate it might be stressful in the beginning but you won’t regret it I had to 14 months apart now that was twins it was quite a bit of work they grow up so fast just enjoy it
My kids are 2 years apart and honestly they are very close. My little girl (oldest child) does help me and she loves pointing at my son and saying baby. The worst thing is when she steals his pacifiers lol, but honestly I would just get ur oldest to help as much as u can because any little help with help u out greatly. Honestly my son is very independent, so that does help my situation out quite a bit. I breastfeed my son as well and any little help that my daughter gives I do use to my advantage. My daughter cant wait for him to be able to play with her she tries to get him to play but i have to remind her that hes still so little.
I used a variety of different birth control and none worked. I have a 21, 20, 19, 15, & 14 year old. The last 2 aren’t quite a year apart. It wasn’t always easy, especially since my husband works on a tugboat and is gone for weeks. I survived and my kids are great and get along great.
My daughters are just slightly over a year apart. They are best friends and look out for one another. That isn’t to say there isn’t strife; they’re both approaching adolescents so some days have some drama, but they love each other deeply and will defend each other when needed. My first daughter was born premature so having a sister so close in age really helped her developmentally, so it was a blessing in disguise, despite my fears at first.
Mine are all 1 year apart
You will do fine! The expense will be less because they will most likely have the use of the same things! I knew a couple who had four kids one after another because that way they can take turns in shifts and to be able to care for them! The mom worked certain hours and the dad would take over so kids were with them all the time once they got older they went to school and both of them could take the same shifts because kids were in school during the day plus they save by sharing clothes and everything! They said it was the best thing for their family! Having to buy everything new because you got rid of all the baby stuff!
It’s hard not gonna lie but at the end of the day just seeing ur babies smile and say I love u mommy is the best. Good luck
hun my first 2 were 19 months apart with my ex and I loved it but i have a 12 year gap as hubby wanted to get married before we had kids she is now 19 months and we have been trying for a year and disappointed there is going to be at least 2 yr gap 
seriously its hard at first but as they get older it is easier especially when it comes to school . just remember you can ask for help .
I had three kids when I was 20,a three year old, a two year old and a new baby not saying it was easy but I made it you got this!!
Jusy an fyi Jenny…I’m loving yoir insights! U Go Mama!!
My kids were 14 months apart. It was hard at first because I was a single mom but it got easier. You will be a champ at this.
I did and wouldn’t change it!! My boys are so close. Also they all were into the same things at the same time. A little rough in the beginning but pays off!

I did it. Wouldn’t have changed it even if I could have. They got along great.
My daughter had 3 in a row. 2 boys 1 girl. We just all did what we could to help. Her husband was in the military so some times were harder than others. Making it through the teens is most challenging I think. Now they are 21, 20 and 18. Best of friends. Don’t mind showing how much they love each other.
I did, 3 boys in ,3 years, they are great men now and I am 90 years old. I also have 3 girls, a little more spaced apart!

I had two boys 14 months apart. They are close. We get to do all the potty training all at once, hand me downs are easily accessible, they keep each other occupied. The tough parts are really tough, but in the long run I think I’m better off for having had them so close together.

I found out I was pregnant with my third child when my second was 5months. It can be tough it can be hard, but it can be rewarding seeing them play so nice together. Tho they can also pick moments to argue and play rough but they have a bond. Routine and doing things together at the one time helped feeding bathing playing (one game altogether) and encouraging them to play share and be nice helps. There’s rough and there’s smooth. The same with anything in life but I wouldn’t change it xz
I have two boys who are 15 months apart! It’s great having them so close to one another. It saved me a lot of money in clothing! At first it was a little difficult as the older was angry at me when I brought his baby brother home. He didn’t want to sit with me or hug me. He smacked the baby on the top of the head one day while I was holding him. That didn’t last long though. I always included the older one in things I did with his baby brother. That’s the best thing you could do if there is a sense of jealousy or anger. Continue to include the 11 month old, and your three year old as well. They will all be just fine together. You’ll have little helpers around all the time.
I have a 12 year old and a 1 month old (tomorrow) so I couldn’t tell you, but I have two little sisters that are 22 months apart that I helped raise. (They’re 18 and 19 now) It’s not easy but you’ll have good days and rough days. Good luck!
I had 4 under 4 and it’s been a challenge but it’s also rewarding plus in the end they can all do homework together so this is a plus and their best friends because of how close in age they are
Yep my boys are a little more then 2.5 years apart. They get along most of the time. When the older one out grows his clothes it can go to his younger brother.
Depends on the day . My kids can fight all day and love each other and be very protective of each the next day .
All my babies are super close in age my oldest and middle sons are a year and a half apart, my middle and youngest sons are a year and a half apart and now my youngest son and my 4th baby will end up being 13 months apart. I never believed I could do it at first but honestly the bond all my kids have with each other is so beautiful and they love one another so much
I have a 13💙,
9💙& 8💙 both born Feb,
1yr 2mths:blue_heart: and a 2mth:ribbon: both born April. 
It’s tough in the beginning but it gets better as they get older Never a dull moment! 
My baby was born 6/7 and big brother turned 1 on 6/11 so not even a year apart! The first couple of days big brother wasn’t sure and now he LOVES him!! It has honestly been easy and I am so glad they are close in age!
I only have 2 sons and they’re 17 months apart. When they were little is was complete hell. But now that they’re 11 and 13 it’s fine. We survived the terror. I always tell people who are planning to do it that close they’re crazy but stuff happens and we made it out alive 
My daughters are 1 year apart. First couple of years were hard. They grew up together
. 55 years later still best friends
I am the oldest of 7 and we are all 16 months apart until the last two and there is a 3 yr gap there (if I remember correctly). It’s sure to be a little crazy for a while but I am grateful to have siblings so close together in age. We always had a playmate to play or fight with. I think you will find the 3 year to be a bigger help than you would imagine. Take a deep breathe momma, you’ll be fine.

My son’s are 23 months apart and they are so close! It’s stressful when they are younger but I love it now!
My oldest 2 are 18 months apart and I love it. Sure it was a little hectic when they were babies but as they get older it’s the best.
I had my second boy when my first was 16 months. It is definitely challenging sometimes but my now 19 month old loves his little brother and he’s always hanging out and chatting with him!! I love that they are so close in age. Just definitely make sure to include the other kids I find that when my 19 month old is included he’s very hands on and loves helping. Everyone is different tho because it took my 19 month old about 2 weeks to get used to the crying never mind everything else. I think it’s a learning experience for everyone involved lol
My kids are 10 months apart and it’s extremely hard and stressful. My son is so jealous of his baby sister
My boys are 17 months apart and fight like normal siblings do but for the most part they are best friends!
My two oldest were 3 1/2, and 11 months when I got pregnant with our third. My second was 20 months when my third was born, it meant two in diapers for awhile, but the two older played so well together that it was no problem having the baby to take care of. You’ll do fine, congratulations on your upcoming baby.
My son turned 18 months on the 18th and my daughter will be 4 months on the 1st. So 14.5 month age gap here… its not easy but I honestly like having them close in age.
Take one day at a time. I have 3 and a half year old twins, a 2 year old half twin and a 6 month old.

I have 5 boys. There are 6 years between #1 and 2. 18mos between #2 and 3. Three and a half years between 3 and 4. And 2.5 years between 4 and 5. It’s a challenge regardless of spread. They all have their days.
I have 7 kids it’s wild and fun
Just do your mom thing. You have 2 already, what do you feel? You are a great mom, your kids will be close siblings if they know love and respect for each other as well as for their parents. I say this coming from having an only child but wanting another.
