What ages gaps do people have between children

I currently have a 14 month old and definitely want another little one but I don’t know what’s a good or bad age gap I’m also 30 next year so getting older which isn’t ideal to wait too long ??

I’m 37. Have a nearly 15 month old and am 8 months pregnant. It’s been hard work being pregnant with a nearly toddler I have to say with my hormones and tiredness

30! You're fine. If you're worried you won't be there's blood tests that can check various hormones.

I'm happy to say I've escaped having two under two. Definitely not for me. 😂 Still not sure what age gap we'll go for. I'm thinking closer to 3.

it took us 2 years to get our little boy and with a miscarriage too so just worry it will take just as long or longer the older I get x

Two years to get your little boy is still completely normal, although not something you would ever, ever choose right. I'm sorry it was so hard. Thirty is really not old to be trying for another though.

Personally I would go for a three year gap, the first is that bit older so doesn't need you quite as much as when they are smaller and there is meant to be less sibling rivalry as a result buuuut I also think that's got a lot to do with the way you parent the two of them and personality too. I have a 3.5 year gap if that helps.

My LG was born last year 7 weeks before i turned 30, i am now 31 and we plan on having our next in around 3/4 years time thats always been our plan.
Women are having babies later on in life now and thats ok. The amount of women i met in hospital waiting rooms last year nearly all of them where in there early,middle or late 30's there were even a few in there early 40's.

Its completly up to you when your ready to have your next, whatever your age 😊 my mum was 37/38 when she had me and everything was ok there is also a 20+ year age gap between me and my 2 sisters x

2 years and 7 months between my two. I was 34 with my first and just turned 37 the week before I had our second. No issues at all so don't worry about age!
