9months, between my first and second, 21 years between my second and third, and 7months between my third and my twins
I didn't find any difference in pregnancies (harder or easier) till my twins

wow! This is awesome! This is the minimum i wanted/want to have

Mine are going to be 5years apart.

We have a three year gap between ours and that's working well so far. I wouldn't have wanted a smaller gap!

There will be 4.5 years between mine

2 year between 1st and 2nd , 4 years between 2nd and 3rd and it will be 6 years between 3rd and 4th .

I have 22,18,16,13,9,1 due another in 6 months .

Iāve got a nearly 11 year old an 8 year old and Iām due in April x

Well since i made this post Iāll answer. š„°šš«£ 14 year gap & probably another 5 year gap this time around. So Iāll have a 19 year old, 8 year old (my bonus child), 5 year old (ALL GIRLS) & think Iām pregnant now (& šš¾ ITāS A BOY)

My son and my recent baby are 2.5 years apart š They get along really well so far. I definitely wouldnāt want another baby soon at all but I think Iām good off birthing anymore!

I have a 12 year gap! This is my second, I donāt have anything to compare it to, but I know my first born has been SUPER supportive and helpful, especially since this second pregnancy has been very difficult! She does think the baby is more hers than mine though! š

6 years š

Too close makes it tough for your body to recover, kids themselves aside. My kids will be 22 months apart

2 year, then 4 years. The 2 yr gap is harder when you can't align toddler & baby naps but easier because we were still in baby mode. The 4 yr gap is harder because we had been out of diapers and naps for a while and then had to get back into that phase but easier because the older 2 could be trusted to behave when busy putting baby down for naps.

I have a 14 year gap between my daughter and son. Itās swings and roundabouts really. My teen daughter helps me a lot with my two year old. At the same time sheās a teenager with the need for a different kind of support. On the whole itās more positive than negative.

I have 8yrs between my 2 & im so grateful that my 1st is at an independent (within reason) age because we had a hard time with #2 when he was born.

,8 n half year gap x

Wait for it... My daughter is 21 YEARS old and I'm due with baby brother in November! "I can't get pregnant anymore" I said. "I'm pretty sure I'm going through premenopause" I said. š I'm 42 btw, 43 in November.

im 47 with 5yo twins, 6yo boy, 26yo son and a 27yo daughter

5 years was great for me. But 20 years also seems to be working out too. Lol

21 years

11 year gap for me.
