Hi!
I’ve got a 4 nearly month old baby boy that we’ve had by IVF who we adore! I’m 39 this summer and I’m starting to think about whether I’d try for another. We have embryos frozen and I’m hopefully we could try naturally after having our son.
I’m worried to wait too long with my age, but also want to give myself time to recover and spend time with our boy. I’d love him to have a sibling for company, but also feel totally blessed with him and initially only planned to have one.
Just really wondering if anyone has similar experiences or who had 2 close together and what was it/is it like?
Would love to hear anything you think would be good to know or consider 🙏🏼

I have 2 .11 months apart . They are 13 months and 13 weeks. I’m not going to tell you it’s easy . But it’s getting easier . Night times are amazing as they both sleep but days can be hard getting out the door on my own but we are getting there. They adore each other always smiling at each other x my eldest loves holding little ones hand xx

I have 2 boys 17 months apart, initially it was very hard, until the youngest started crawling at 5 months. They are now 15 months and 32 months and they adore each other. I had my second at 38 so i understand your concern over age. I wouldnt change the age gap for the world.xx

I have a 4month old and I been thinking about baby number 2 as well .. I am turning 39 this year too .. I grew up with sisters so I would also love him to have company but as you said also blessed to have him! We tried ivf and it failed for us and then we conceived naturally a year later
