Has anyone here had,having or thinking about baby number 2? I’m so torn between trying again or having a bigger age gap.

I thought I’d want 2 under 2 but I had severe HG and actually I want to enjoy my daughter as much as I can before we try again

Baby number 2 is 3 months old. I am absolutely loving having 2 under 2 and I think it’s a great gap. It’s tough at times but they are already becoming the best of friends and having a smaller gap means there’s been no sign of jealousy.

October 2024 baby will be 2 when baby is born (due 12 days later). I'm really looking forward to it

I've had a second. My daughter was born the end of September, 24 and my son was born in April, 26. My son is 8 weeks old and I'm just starting to feel like I'm on top of things. Those first few weeks were hard and chaotic. The one thing I think that shocked me was how difficult breastfeeding your second is when you're trying to raise your toddler too. It's still chaotic and complete mayhem, but it's also lovely watching how sweet my daughter is with her baby brother. Some days, I do the nursery run in a complete state but we're all alive and fed and watered. Some days, I leave the house, all dressed and ready, and turn right back round because my toddler doesn't want the rain cover on and I don't want to risk her brother getting wet 😂

I have a 15 month age gap between my girl and boy. I absolutely love having 2 under 2 don’t get me wrong it is so so difficult sometimes but really worth it! Love the fact they are growing up together x

I don't want to cool first trimester with a toddler and I want more time with just this child. I think we'll start thinking of baby number 2 in two years or so

October baby was my #2. 2.5 year age gap, planned for longer but was easier to get pregnant 2nd time round. Anyways love the age gap they are so cute together. Only issue was potty training and Newborn at the same time was painful
