I'm 20 & my kids will be 4 years apart , but so what nobody is taking care of your kids but YOU! I mean it is a lot of hard work when you have two kids still little in diapers & neither are able to go to school . But, as long as you know your role as a mommy don't worry about what others think .

20 Years old, w/ a 3 year old almost 4 , & 15 weeks pregnant(:

I'm in the same situation. My son is gonna be 6 months old on august 6th and I'm gonna be 9 weeks tomorrow. My son was born Feb 6 this year and I'm due march 5 with baby 2. I'm super nervous. But I think I can manage with my fiancé to just do great. They will be 12 months and few weeks apart. But I heard it's better to have them close rather than far apart. It has it's pros and cons to me. I'm really just worried about labor this go around. First time was super easy. I just want this to be even easier and not complicated. So I'm trying to mimic what I did the first go around this time lol crazy I know.

All of mine are close my oldest was born August 19 2012, my second was born October 10 2013, and I'm now 35+4 with baby number 3 it does get stressful at times but most of the time it is fairly easy :) and as for the negative things people have to say I don't understand it either

when my twins are born, my sons will be one and two (although close to their birthdays). if it's your first two, it really isn't that bad. they are very close and it's sweet.

My sons are close . My oldest just turned 14 months on the 10th of this month and I just had my 2nd son this past Thursday . It's only alil harder for me cause I had my 2nd csection + another surgery on top of that the same day I had him . Other then that , it's not really hard for me .

I'm 23 and my daughter's are 11 months apart.  They are 4 and 5. It was actually easy for me tp have them close together because the baby slept all day so i pretty much just dealt with the 1 year old. But now with this one i feel it's going to be harder because they are so active. I have a feeling that they are not going to let the baby sleep. And then throw college into the mixture...i start school in august and I'm due January...smh. but i can do it, that's we're designed for, right?
