I'm pregnant for the second time, and my daughter will be 12yrs old when her baby sister comes.
You never know what's going to happen. I been a single for 11 years, and ended up meeting a great guy, got married and now I'm pregnant.

My daughter will turn 3 in November and baby number 2 is due early April. Perfect age gap for us as she is out of nappies for both day and night.

My son is 4 now I am on to baby number due. Not due till April so he will be turning 5 . I think the longer you wait the less stress. I couldn't imagine changing two diapers n wiping two butts. Lol maybe that's just  me.

I waited 6 for this one. My first will be 6 Tue day before I'm due so I litteraly waited six years Haha. But I got pregnant on purpose 6 is good for me because my son is at the age he still needs me but not so much and he's super involved with my pregnancy and so excited. After this one I don't think I want anymore but if I have another I'll wait probably 4-6 years again. Nothing past that though I don't want kids pass 30

My son will be going on 7 years old when my twins are born. I didn't want them that far apart but I had to do a lot of convincing to my hubby for us to have another baby. But now that I am pregnant he is super excited.

I'm 18 and married with a one year old. Found out a month before she turned one that I'm pregnant. I didn't want to have them so close in age but now that I am pregnant I'm happy that we had a spontaneous pregnancy and I hope it's another girl so that my 2 girls will be best friends

I haven't really thought about that but I want them close but not to close. My sister and I are 5 years apart and we were always fighting and to this day its hard for us to get along. So I guess it just depends
