First off, congratulations! My kids aren't close in age but my mom had me and my brother almost 13 months apart. My 26th birthday is Saturday and his 25th is July 8th. You'll be fine, you seem pretty strong, so ignore the negative comments. Ppl are always going to talk. Forget them and good luck!

I'm appalled that they would even say such a awful thing to you! You'll do great and the best thing about having them so close like that is they are like best friends! :) My son and daughter are 14 months apart and I love how close they are. They are now 7/6 and I'm pregnant with my 3rd and final baby so this baby is a huge gap but it's ok :)

My two boys are 11 months apart. They are 2&1. I'm due in 27 days with boy #3 :)

It's work for sure, but I wouldn't change it for anything.

Exactly. I dont know why people feel the need to be just plain rude. My son was about 5/6months old when I found out I was pregnant with my daughter and I had her a week early. So when this little girl will be born come September I will have 3 and 2 year old and a newborn. Whos business is it of anyones. Forget them x

Firstly a huge congratulations on your baby. I had my two children close together my son is 3 and 2. A year and 13 days between them. I had lots of negative comments like I should get rid or go and fall down some stairs. Horrible really. I just paid no attention to them. I didnt have no help from any body and certainly was not going to ask anyone. Its your life and your body. Children are a beautiful blessing. Whether you just have one or 10. Its hard at times, I feel shattered and I'm 25wks with a little girl and I wouldn't change it for the world. Ignore them and carry on being a fab mummy xx
