Pregnancies

How close have some of you ladies had your pregnancies together? I just had my son in February of this year and i just got my Nexplanon birth control out with hopes of trying for baby #2 now but im only 20 and just worried about what my family will think, but me and my boyfriend have decided that we're ready and want babies close in age! Advice, tips or suggestions are welcome!

Hi there,
My daughter was born in November 20, 2007 and my son was born December 5, 2008 so my kids were very close in age. 1 year and 16 days apart. It's nice when they are close in age. I would go no more than 2 years apart. We plan on having more back to back very soon, since we are TTC right now

I think at the end of it all its better to have them close together then they get along better and when they're older it's easier for us as parents to do things. That's how I think of it. I'm 22 I had my first baby in March2014 and now me and my husband are having another he or she will be due March2016 lol that wasn't planned either but we are happy! I know it will be hard at first but I want a big family so we aren't wasting any time lol

Me and my brother are 6 years apart and we just dont talk or even know eachother really, i want my children very close in age so they can relate! Nothing wrong with children far apart, i just know for me and my brother it was awkward... i was in college and he was in middle school, we just didng relate at all!/:

I'm expecting my first but I have 3 brothers and my mom had the 4 of us with 5 years.  I was born October of 1994 and my youngest brother was born February of 1999. I'm only 14 months older than the oldest of them.  Hoping to have my kids all close in age
