Baby #2 ??

So my first 2 are 2.5 years apart. Then there's only 11months between #2 and #3. It is very hard having them close together but also so rewarding. Plus you get to do the stages back ro back so less time in total for diapers

Your body isn’t fully healed until at least 1 year pp. I would give your body a break, so you can fully enjoy pregnancy a second time with less complications. I’m kind of in the same boat as you I have a 6 month old, and I’m 20 and married lol. I want my kids to be close in age as well.

even though I am young still, my first was planned😂, but I want them close in age because I hear it’s so good for the little ones and they may fight but will always have someone to play with that’s close in age that likes to play with the same things

what kind of complications could it cause? I didn’t really enjoy pregnancy the first time lol, but I want at least one more, I want a chance for a baby girl lol. But I know the second time around if I’m sick again I can’t lay in bed like I did the first time

A lot of people have babies close together and have nothing wrong. But priority should be your body and giving it the proper time to heal. And making sure you feel up for it.

All I can personally say to this is my first and second are 3 years and 2 weeks apart and my second and third are like 15 months apart and o would only suggest two close in age IF they are your first two. Bc wow I fucking get so overwhelmed with a toddler and two babies sometimes.

ohh okay, thank you!

I’m on the side of what ever the person carrying the pregnancy thinks!

I’m not sure if I could have them that far apart honestly. And that’s understandable. Im only wanting 2 babies, I think I’m going to wait until 1 year pp to make them 21+ months apart to make it easier on me

My daughter and son is 22 months apart but do what you think is best for you

I got pregnant with my second when my first was 7 months it’s very hard but also very rewarding when I see them together 🥲

I had my first at 19☺️ had my second 2 years after, and my third 2 years after that. All 2 years apart! I love it, the older two play so much together, if we go to the playground I kind of get to chill with the baby while they entertain each other. It was easier for me to not have a huge age gap bc I’m already in the baby/toddler mode!

how do you like it? What’s it like?

how hard is it?

My first two were 19 months apart 3rd and 4th were 19days short of one year apart and 5th and 6th are 2 years apart haha so if u have any questions on any of the age gaps I can answer hahaha 🤣

My babies are 3 years apart

Go with your intuition

My oldest is 3 and baby is 6 months old. I love their gap and totally recommend it. He's old enough to understand what's going on, he can talk and be helpful when he wants to. He can also play independently when needed in short spans and is out of diapers. But everyone is different. There is never a perfect time frame.

My oldest was 13 months old when my second was born and we weren’t trying to have them close together haha! I was 22 when I gave birth to my second and I started dilating halfway through my pregnancy and he was born a month early and spent 3 weeks in the NICU! If I could have planned it I would have waited until my first turned a year old. That was our original goal because it gives your body somewhat of a break and saves your sanity from having 2 under 2 for a long period of time 😉

what’s the easiest one? I know they are all going to be hard, but coming home with new baby what was the easiest adjustment with the older one ?

Well easiest probably the 2 years apart cause my 2 year apart so far is easiest cause under 2 they don't get it yet and its a little bit more likely the older one will hit younger or things but also closer in age they get to play together sooner and also less then 2 years apart ur guaranteed to have both in diapers and most likely have to carry both at times

just came back to say mine are the same age as well but my 3 year old turns 4 right after my 6 month old turns 1
