Small age gap

I’ve just had my second baby and I have a 17 month age gap. For me, it’s such a lovely age gap. Yes, it can be tough with them both so young but my eldest is so sweet and helpful with the newborn and she’s not old enough to be jealous or anything like that. He is 8 weeks and they are already becoming great friends.

I was only back at work for 5 months and work seemed to be fine. I was worried but try not to and I’m sure it will be fine. You won’t be the first person to have babies close together. The can’t really do and say anything otherwise it could seen as discrimination.

Thank you so much- I think I am just so worried and overthinking everything as this wasn’t planned

I am just worried about judgement from others and I know I shouldn’t be as it’s completely irrelevant.

Thank you, you’ve eased my mind massively!

I am due any day now with my second and will have a 14 and a half month age gap between the two. I was also worried about telling my employer but honestly it was all fine, they even offered if I wanted to take my accrued leave so that I don’t have to go back to work in between both maternity leaves.

I have had a mixed bag of reactions but honestly it’s no one’s business 🤨

Hey I have a 17 month age gap and was nervous about the same thing, my team leader at work was really understanding, I was only back at work 5 months and everyone was really happy for me tbh the only ppl who weren’t were my partners parents which was disappointing but they love baby boy now ig,
