I have Irish twins we decided to get it put the way vs wait then start over and tbh it has its moments but I’m glad we did it
There’s 2 years and 360 days between mine lol. Only having 1 in diapers is nice, it was easier to explain about little brother coming, sister was big enough to help if she chose.

I got pregnant when my daughter was 3 months old. I ended up pregnant with twins, then when they were 3 months old I got pregnant with my youngest son. It was so worth having them so close together but I struggled with postpartum because of the twins being early and in NICU.

My baby is 9 mo. And we want another one soon. Your body needs healing after the baby is the only reason we haven’t had another yet.
It can fuck up your body if you don’t let your body heal
my first was 3 months old when I was pregnant with my 2nd and my 2nd was 5 months old when I was pregnant with my 3rd. I had 3 under 3. Most days are hard but doable. 
There are 5 years between my oldest and my twins. There is 6 years between my twins and my last. Lol two is harder than one but it is great having two close in age. My sibling and I are 10 years apart, and while it doesnt make as much of a difference now that we’re adults, it mattered growing up.
My two girls are two years 1 month and 5 days apart and I love it because my two year old loves to help and she’s very loving
I got pregnant at 13 months pp
Your baby needs your undivided attention for atleast a year or two! It’s great you are loving it, but you have time and your body needs to recover

Following… my daughter is 6 months old, I had her in February and I’m pregnant again due in January and to be honest I am highly stressed out about it. Grateful to be blessed with another baby but definitely nervous.
There’s no right answer. My kids are all 2 years apart from the next (give or take a few months). They’re 4, 2 and 1 week old. I’m done having kids. We have anymore it’ll be through adoption.

Consult your doctor because you need to be properly healed, your partner because they need to be on board and your finances because you don’t want that to be a source of stress as you seek to expand your family.
My kids are 11.5 months apart
I got pregnant fast after I had my son. It wasn’t planned, but I’m 17 weeks pregnant and have a 6 month old. I love it. Everyone’s different though. I wanted babies close in age.
My first 3 are 2 yrs and 5 mon apart and I got to enjoy them being a baby from my 3rd to 4th there is a 4 yr difference and it was nice now my 4th n 5th are leSs than 2 yrs apart and I can already feel the struggle lol the extra 5 months made it
Worth it
If you have to ask then you should wait lol.mine all 2yrs apart and God help us.
No two moms are alike. No two kids are alike. This should definitely be a huge discussion with your husband
My kids are 11 months and 14 days apart. They are best friends

I was 4 months pregnant when my son turned 2! It’s the best feeling watching them grow up together so close in age. But if we’re being honest it’s tough 
getting both of them ready, having 2 sets of everything just in case… having inconsistent nap times, one crying while the other isn’t listening 
it’s a blessing for sure but takes patience 
I didn’t want 2 in diapers. I loved the infant time and felt like I would rob them of that so mine are spaced.

My daughter is 10 months and I’m 16 weeks pregnant. Still having a hard time dealing with it, but know it will all be fine
My daughter was 6 mos when we found out I was pregnant again my girls are 15 months apart they’re inseparable!!!
I’m waiting until my son is potty trained and fully out of diapers before trying for another.
My son is 4, my daughter is 3 months. I couldn’t have handled a baby and my son at even 3. He refused to potty train, behavior issues. He’s still way more work than the baby🤦🏻♀️. I’m glad we waited though. And it’s really important to give your body time to heal. They now recommend waiting a full two years between pregnancies.
My son was due on my daughters first bday thank goodness he came two weeks early it’s exhausting but manageable they were at kindy together go to primary together and same with intermediate and high school they are 9 and 10 now the struggle now is birthdays two weeks apart can’t combine anymore
Mine are 13 years, 8 years, and 3 weeks…

I’ve done it both ways. I have what they call Irish twins (that’s a derogatory term though) which means 2 of mine are 13m or less apart (they’re exactly 11m apart). And I have a 3yr span between 2. Both are better for different reasons, it’s more about if u can handle 2 babies. I loved every min.
I have a 3yo 2yo and 1yo…
It has its perks for sure bcuz they are extremely close but it’s also really hard most days…
Also my body didn’t have a chance to recover from the baby before (birth control pill is not.my friend) so I had a lot of issues during my.pregnacys

14 months between 2 of my girls. Great as they were getting older as very Close, but I would have liked to have had more ‘baby’ time with the 14 month old, I was just lucky she was such a good baby, never murmured really, and was a great sleeper too. So there’s fors and againsts for both.
My daughter just turned 1 on the 10 and i just had my 2 week old son on the 1st. They are 11 months apart 
I didn’t plan any of my pregnancies my oldest child shes 2 years older then her brother and hes 3 years older then the little brother… It just happened that way without birth control
My daughter and son are 37 months apart. BEST DECISION EVER! They are close enough in age that they can play together just fine and my daughter acts like a mother hen!
My daughtet turned 6, my son turned 5. ( they live with their dad)… My twin girls turned 3 and my son turned 2. I got a tubaligation right when my son was born. Best decision ever… Their all close in age and im done having kids. They all love playing with eachother and have eachothers backs 
I have a 10 month age Gap, worked out perfectly. My older two play together, learn together. School together 
I just had my daughter 3 months ago and my son is 10. I turned 32 while being pregnant and I was miserable the entire time, it was definitely much harder on my body!! I’d honestly not suggest waiting TOO long.

Our oldest 2 (teens now) are 13 months apart. It wasn’t planned… Waaaaaay too close! My body didn’t have time to recover and I couldn’t give either one the attention they deserved. We had our 3rd 13 years later. She’s almost 2 and I’m due with our 4th in December. They’ll be 2 years apart. My siblings and I were 2 years apart, I’ve always heard that 2 years is a good gap, but honestly it seems too soon. My little one is still so little. Had I known, we might’ve waited another year, but my Husband and I aren’t getting any younger! I’d say 3 years apart is a nice space.

I’m pregnant with my fourth. We have 3 boys. My oldest two are 20 months apart & that was rough. The hardest was the first year. But now I love it. They’re 5 & 6, best friends. My youngest is 2 & the new baby will be here before my youngest turns 3.

My mom has 7 kids. All kinds of age differences from 15 months apart to 8 years apart. She says in her opinion about 2 years age difference is perfect.
Plus having kids so close together can complicate your pregnancy (seen the result of that while I was in the nicu with my daughter) and can be harder on your body. It’s recommended to wait 2 years to give yourself time to heal.

Waited 4 years between my son and daughter. But when she was 3 months old found out we had an oops and I’m pregnant with our 3rd. It’s a bit stressful to think about but I’m sure it will work out once the baby is here. I hope. 🤦

I didnt do it that quite but i guess i would ask the doctor.
I suggest get the first one potty trained then start trying again.
My daughter just turned one on the 10th and I’m due November 4th and my body feels like I got hit by a car every single day. I cry because I want to be able to thoroughly enjoy her growing and learning new things but because this baby is due so soon I’ve been frantically trying to get things ready. I’m missing out on being able to enjoy my daughter.

My first baby was 6 months old when I got pregnant with my 2nd, and my 2nd was 4 months old when I got pregnant with my 3rd.
I’ll have 3 babies under the age of 2 and I get a lot of hate for it but my kids are healthy and happy they have what they need it’s just super shitty when someone puts in their 2 cents 
Enjoy your baby first. You’ve barely had a real dose of parenting let alone with 2 under 2. You’ll be drained.

My closest two are two years and three days apart. And that was a bit rough. In my opinion, it’s good to give your body and mind both at least a little rest between babies.
My mother had kids 14 months apart twice, followed up by one just less than two years younger. It really took a toll on her, body, mind and spirit.
My kids have a three year age gap. I love it ! Having them back to back isn’t something I would have wanted to do
I’d wait but it’s up to you
Your body needs to heal,give it a rest

Well medically speaking you’re supposed to wait two whole years before getting pregnant because it takes one full year to fully recover from pregnancy I would say if you plan on getting pregnant soon I would encourage you to keep taking your prenatals and wait until your cycle completely regulates and I would advise you to speak to your Ob-Gyn because it also makes a difference if you had a vaginal delivery versus a C-section delivery but two years is what they recommend to wait mainly because if you had a C-section you can run the risk of your incision rupturing which could be deadly to you or the baby vaginally or C-section the sooner you get pregnant after having a baby puts you at high risk for preterm labor.
Got pregnant and my son was 8 weeks. 2nd one was early so they are 9 months and 3 weeks apart. Both starting middle school this year. Then less then a year after that got pregnant again so I had a 2,1 and newborn. Interesting few years!
You should wait about 6 months at least. I had my girls 10 months apart, and the second pregnancy came with complications that caused me to be hospitalized when my first baby was barely 7 months old. I was put on bed rest which made it hard to care for the baby that needed me. Give your first baby time to be a baby. It would have been easier if they were twins. It took three years to get pregnant with my first, so I wasn’t expecting to get pregnant right away again. I advise against it, but do as you want.

I didn’t want a second to be honest haha! But I fell pregnant when my daughter was over 2.5 years old. They are 3 years and 2 months apart and the age gap is amazing! My eldest loves to help her baby sister and help me with her. She can understand a lot and knows what she can or can’t do to her. My youngest is only 4 months old and they love each other and are best friends already! So glad that I got pregnant when I did even though she wasn’t planned at all lol

My kids are a yr apart. My 7 &6 yr old are 16 months apart to the day and my 6 and 5 yr old are 14 months apart. I wanted to wait 2 or 3 yrs between eavh kid. It was definitely hard while they were babies. They fight with each other but got each others backs
My daughter is a year and half older cause I had her before I met the boys dad. & I personally like it better this way cause they all get along so well but I now having my daughter saying she wants a sister
My daughter in law got pregnant 1 week after delivery. She due with the 2nd baby now. We are waiting on her debut
I think every baby should have their time. I waited 3 years in between I wanted them to have their own special time and felt that if I were to do it too close to each other it wouldn’t be fair. Silly I know.
Mine are 5 years apart. Lol im planning on having another when my baby is 3 years. I can NOT do the super close in age. Lol but its whatever feels right to YOU.
I have 5 that are all spaced out by 5 and 6 years. Except the last two, they are 13 months apart. Needless to say, that wasn’t done on purpose lol. I would recommend waiting. Mainly because I really like that each kid was old enough to remember the next one being born and being a baby. It also gives them, especially girls some real life experience as to what it takes to raise a baby. When you have them close together, they develope a really close relationship with each other, and that’s cool too. For them to have a little buddy to play with. But let me to you, it is hard!
Im one and done. Emergency C section was hard. And I had a very complicated pregnancy. Financial reasons as well. And if I were to have another I would rather wait awhile to let my body heal

6 year gap between my first 2. 3rd & last baby born 17 months after my 2nd one. Not intentional, but it happens. They’re 11, 13 & 19 now.
I started trying at 6 weeks. It took me 3 years to get pregnant again.
Give your little one your full attention for now. Otherwise youll miss out on the little things while tending to a newborn baby.

I got pregnant 6 months after my first was born. It’s been pretty easy tbh. You’re already used to the sleep deprivation and the ins and outs of having an infant. My second was really colicky though which was a nightmare but now she’s awesome and they’re both in bed by 8pm she just turned 6 months and my oldest will be 2 in November.
I got pregnant again 3 and a half months later! I’ve got a nearly 11 month old and I’m due in 28 days! at least they can grow up together and always have eachother! Very exciting
