Hi everyone,
As mentioned in the title, I am getting baby fever. I want to have another baby but I had my girl on August 2025. My husband is saying he will do what I want to but, some people are telling me to wait but I don’t know if I want to wait. What do you guys think?
Thanks

Personally I would wait as just having both kids similar age going through difficult stages can be hard I found the age of 2 hard I can’t imagine two kids going through that at a similar stage but some people like them close in age so it’s up to you and what you feel, I’m having my second now and my first is 3 is August which I feel is the right age gap for me, I c at imagine myself having a smaller age gap than that x

I had 23 months between mine and it’s been the hardest thing ever. I think it depends how much help you have, me and my partner have none it’s literally just us juggling everything. That being said age 1-2 and age 2 have been absolutely wild and even if I had the support I think I’d have struggled just as much 😅 my friend had a 3 year age gap and everything seemed a lot calmer for her, she didn’t need a double buggy either her daughter didn’t run off etc too everything seemed a bit more manageable than my wild life haha 😅 x

Ive heard that waiting a bit longer can be good as means you get more time to be fully present for your toddlers milestones. And if they are a bit older once baby arrives they understand more and can also be a bit more independent / helpful.
