what do you think??

Do you think having babys close in age is better or would you prefer years apart?? I want 2 kids, I have just had my first 8 weeks ago

My son is 3 and my daughter is 2. Im due in September. Its hard at times I wont lie. However they bring each other up and they are the best of friends. I couldn't imagine having a huge age gap. Each to their own tho x

My first two are 11 months apart..it wasnt planned but i enjoy it.. my 1st is a boy 2 yrs & 2nd is a girl 1 yrs and I'm expecting in October and thus one will be about 17-18 months apart from my daughter.. i love that my kids will be close in age... i think it'll be easier because all in school at same time...sports same age.. closer and they can take care of each other...my husband was the one that wanted more..so but going Im having a bit because it'll be my last one :) good luck with talking to hubby & making a decision

I have a 11 month old little boy and I'm due 5 days before his first birthday with a little girl . It may be hard and challenging but i think its better finish at the same time and they have someone to play with once old enough and they have less chance of a jealousy issue because they won't remember not having each other. Chances of them being closer  lot better. Many older mothers who have close children have told me its better and eaiser in the long run.

Under 3 and the oldest won't really remember being an only child clearly, so less resentment of the younger sibling
