How many of you ladies have had their second child with in a year or 2 of the first child? How did you feel about it being so close together?

My 2 sons will be 13 months apart. Itll be stressful but my oldest already has a set schedule to work with

My son just turned 18 mths and im 22 weeks along!  Im scared about having 2 under 2 but im sooo excited to see my boys be best buds!!

My first 2 are 15 months apart. It was pretty hard for a few months but I love it now. They are best friends and play well together (most of the time). They are 2 and 3 now. I let my older one stay over night at my in-laws last night and my younger one begged for me to go get him the whole time. I wasn't happy they were so close in age at first but I love it now and am glad they are so close.

My first two are 1 yr 15 days apart and my youngest will ne 18 months when #3 arrives in october :) it is hard some days but I like having them close! I think it will get easier as they get a bit older we can enjoy more as a family without having a little baby in tow :)so nobody will have to sit out.

My sister in law has two kids 1 year apart (unplanned....) with their birthdays being 2 days off from each other. She says it's very hard right now since the oldest is turning 2 and the youngest 1.  But I think it gets easier when they get older and are able to do the same things and play together. Plus family activities get easier to plan when you don't have to plan something special for the littlest to do.

All of mine are about 2 years apart, for me it seems to be a good amount of spacing but none of them were planned. Hoping baby #4 deals well with not being the baby in the new year

My girls are 10 and a half months apart, it was really hard at first. I had help from my mom and sister with my oldest, but I did feel like I lost some of her baby moments becase she was still under a year before her sister came. I didn't sleep for 2 years on a regular schedule because they were both in diapers And bottles. I wouldn't  change it for the world tho they are so close I love it. Currently  pregnant  w twin boys hoping it will be a lil easier lol but doubt it.

Hi I have a 2 1/2 yr old boy..a 10 month old baby girl..and I am currently 30 weeks pregnant..i love my kids being close in age..but since my baby girl and baby boy will be only months apart..idk how it will be.

Mine were 18 months apart, I had an angel of a little boy who was very clever and totally understood there was a baby coming... Then bam! Baby came and he transformed into a jealous tantrum monster! New baby (daughter) didn't sleep well and was highly demanding, so my son really got it tough for a few months even though I tried to cuddle him and spend time with him when I could. Anyway it took about 2 or 3 months for him to settle into the idea of not being an only child, and then things got a little better (daughter was still very demanding for a year). Now he's 3.5 and she's 2 and they get along SO well... you could be lucky and get an easy time, but I really didn't mind the difficult time as it is totally worth it now as they keep each other occupied :) This baby is due in a month so hoping it's a little easier now the 2 older kids have each other, but knowing my clingy, stubborn, stress-head daughter, it'll probably still be a challenge...

I haven't been in that situation but I've read that doctors recommend women wait at least a year and a half in between to avoid increased risk of certain problems.

My oldest 2 are 19 months apart and are 13 & 14 years old. It wasn't planned that way but it was nice to have 2 so close together. Its been great. Then i have a 5 1/2 month old and am 4 months pregnant with another. Again not planned...birth control doesn't always work. These 2 will be 11 months apart and I'm sure It'll be tough at first especially having 2 in diapers again. But I'm sure It'll work out fine. I prefer my kids closein age.

My son just turned 17 months and I'm 32 weeks pregnant, at first i was worried and scared to have two babies that are little and both require alot of attention but my son is very smart and started walking at a year so that helped and no more bottle, and i been talking to him alot about his baby brother so he's starting to understand he will have a sibling and just started kissing my belly.. to give kisses to his brother,  so i am hoping he's not so jealous and it's a easy adjust for him.. but of course i believe it will be a little difficult cause he's still little and a newborn..
