Small age gap between siblings

Please can someone reassure me of give me your own experiences. I’ve just found out I’m pregnant again and I already have an 8 month old. I’m so shocked, we’ve only had sex about 4 times since I gave birth (had a traumatic birth). I’m so scared. Has anyone else had small age gaps between siblings. I feel so guilty about my son and not being able to enjoy him on his own for as long as I wanted to. We wanted to start trying again when he was 2. Advice please.

There’s 11 months between me and my sister and my mom said we had the best young years, always doing things together. You’ve 9 months more solo with him and then they’ll be best friends 🙏🏼🙏🏼🤍🤍

16 months between me and my brother. Was totally fine. My partner is one of 4 born in 5 years. Just be prepared for the future they will be best of friends one minute and worst enemies the next. Xx
