@mrm83015, theyll have someone to play with lol, my daughter loves babies and kids she get excited just seeing them, i live far away from family and dont know anyone here currently so she doesn't see her cousins, and im glad im actually having them together so she can have someone to play with lol

@ehughes41, I already take care of a 18 month old from 7am-3pm and soon I'll be taking care of a 5 year old from 4pm-12am while dealing with my baby. It's stressful sometimes but I can do it. Lol but I know neither of our parents will be happy.

My daughter is almost 11 months and I'm almost 18 weeks pregnant with twins. We did plan this pregnancy because we wanted them to be close. I agree with what you said, no baby is a mistake. When we told our parents they were happy. But scared because i had a placental abruption with my daughter and twins is high risk anyways. Now, his dad did not take it as well, considering he told him to not have anymore kids for a while and we are having 2 lol I think it's up to you. I'm glad our babies will be close! It will be hard, but you'll be just fine!

@jessicatollette14, @mommy0527 @analisa_ag @lyndsie94 @prettybrown4268 @theirmommy_2 @jennatess thank you for your opinion ladies. I wanted to wait a little longer BUT I am pregnant. With an almost 6 month old baby. We've been "trying" since 2 weeks ago (no condom sometimes and I don't take bc because I'd only remember to take my pill sometimes and don't trust implants or shots) but that's only two weeks. Our condom broke a week or two before we started "trying". We got things paid off with income tax and I'm babysitting for a savings fund. Plus whatever else we have over after paying everything. No baby is an accident or mistake in my opinion. I'm honestly just scared to tell my parents or my husbands.

I personally believe that closer together means they will have a stronger bond. But then there are the financial burdens, as well as proof that babies closer than 25 months apart tend to have lower IQ's; because the parents are busier and don't have the time to focus on each child for teaching. We have decided to wait until our daughter is a year and a half before we try again or adopt.

i think you should enjoy your baby first let her be the one and only for a bit, in my opinion, im having my daughter in a month and my okdest will be a year in a month to and i wish i could of enjoyed her more i would be lazy and just tired because of being pregnant, even though i did do it anyway just not feeling that way

My opinion I think it's easier to have a little gap. My children are 6 years apart. It works for me. I couldn't see myself with a 8 month old baby and being pregnant . lol . I liked the fact I got to enjoy my daughter and watch her grow before I had another.

The gap doesn't matter truthfully. My little sister and I are 10 years apart. She's in middle school and I'm a drinking age mommy. We're best friends. She talks to me about everything. We don't really fight until her preteen attitude comes out, but that's all teenagers and we'd fight whatever age I was then lol. Nothing against close together babies at all, just in my opinion I want to let my baby be a baby before I have another. I want him to be the center of my world for a while before he has to share the spotlight. Of course I'm also thinking of not having anymore so he can always be my everything so what do I know lol

I think that it's up to you and your financial situation just because they are close together in age does not guarantee a strong bond or that they will get along, my sister and I are 1 year 9 months and she reminds me til this day and she's 21 I'm 19,she bullied me as a kid and growing up she would make fun of me at school were closer now because we're old enough to be mature but growing up I hated my sister don't let that simple fact determine whether or not you have children close together. @mrm83015

My Daughter Will Be 1 May 27 And My Son Is Due June 16 So They'll Be About A Year Apart. I Think Siblings Have A Stronger Bond When They're Close In Age.

imo if you're financially stable enough, go for it.

I do. me and my sister are 4 years apart but were not close at all. my best friend and her brother are a year apart and they're BEST friends. they have such a strong bond and are just so close.
