I love my kids, but this is your first. I'd enjoy. Learn from it, experience the ups and downs, learn about allergies, feeding schedules, sleep regression, etc. No matter how hard you try you'll never know without experience. In saying this, there is an 11month difference between 2 and 3 and 18months between 3 and 4. I love the close age gaps I really do but I ( and I do mean I, many women have been champions from the start) would never have been prepared enough personally without learning from my first.

I decided to wait till my son was around 2. He was somewhere like 1 year and 10 months when I got pregnant with this one. I just felt he'd be a bit more independent at this age and he can be a help with the baby per say. But y'know, toddlers and tantrums lol

That’s easy for a many to say cause he’s not shoving a human out his vagina.

i have an 8 yr old 6 yr old 2 yr old and 1 yr old never experienced preterm birth onlything is when its close together your more tired. im having my last baby this october then ill have my tubes tied.

Well i had a rough first pregnancy anyways i had Gallbladder problems so he is actually going to have to wait till i get it removed so that will give me some more time..

They say it’s best to give your body 18 months to get back to normal or else you have an increased risk of complications and pre term birth. I waited exactly 18 months and now I’m terrified that I should’ve waited longer lol. Also it’s your carrying and caring for these babies, not him. Don’t let him pressure you into a decision you aren’t 1000% comfortable with. My bil did that to my sister and she was so unhappy for most of her pregnancy.

I got pregnant with my second when my oldest was 9 months old and it’s the perfect age difference

Talk to your dr to see what’s best. Mine told me to at least wait 6 months, but 8 months is ideal to make sure I’m fully healed.
