Mind are two years and two weeks apart. It's been kinda tough adjusting, but were getting there. She just misses being the only child.

#1 and 2 are 19months apart, #2 and #3 16mos., #3 and #4 18mos, #4 and #5 16 mos, #5 and #6 22 mos and finally #6 and #7 will be 22 mos apart again! I personally like that spacing a lot. I breastfeed and normally get my cycles back around 6-8 months. So, we just don't use anything once they start back up.

There is 2 years between my first two which is exactly how I planned it however there is a 7 1/2 year gap between this one and my youngest. I wasn't planning on having another but for some reason as soon as I turned 28 I got baby fever I don't really know why

Mine are going to be 19 months apart. There was 18 YEARS between me and my sister and it sucked i moved out of home as she was born so I wanted a close age difference for my kids.

Babies #2&#3 for me are 16 months apart and honestly that was rough.  I feel like my daughter never got to be a baby like my oldest did.  She is almost 6 now and doesn't seem to care, it's just me wishing for more baby time.  Good luck!

Mine are 16 months apart, try maybe 2 years enjoy your baby, my 2nd wasn't plan but I don't regret it she's my life. I was only 21 when I had my second now I'm 25 and my Dh and I want 1 more but it's hard decision now since I'm back in school and will be working on getting in the nursing program, but I want another, so I know how it is, but wait a while especially if your in no rush

My first two are 14months a part and they fight like crazy. Then I waited 6yrs and my.next two are 2 yrs  and are best friends. This baby will be born when my youngest is 2 1/2 so I hope they are close too. I like the 2yr gap. A year was way too close and 6yrs was way too spaced out.

There is nearly 4 years between mine. If we could have managed financially I would have liked a two year gap but at least there will only be one babies nappies to change and my girl starts school in sept so I'll be home for her first year to take her and pick up which I'm thrilled about. Timing couldnt have worked out better for us :-) simple answer to your question is when you're ready :-) x

I think im debating it only cuz I don't want the baby to get cheated on time with mom n dad. My first 2 got that time I wouldn't be fair

My first two are 3 years apart and that worked wonderfully for us. The older one was out of diapers too so that was super nice. With this pregnancy there will be almost 10 years between this one and my youngest which is longer than I wanted but its how it worked out.
