Abigail and tia there is 1 year and 2 weeks, between Tia and Jordan there is 1 year and 2 weeks and betwen Jordan and Hayden there is 16 months, all mine are pretty close together.
We are trying again soon after my first AF after late mc
Good luck whatever you decide

My daughters 2yrs and 3months. we are trying for another and really thinking posative this month as we have used OPKs so fingers crossed. me and my brother are only 11months appart. when my brother was 8weeks old, i was conceived there is no right/wrong age to TTC again. the closer the age, the closer the relationship they will have xxx

14 months and 1 week. After experiencing it I can't really recommend having them so close together at this point, I certainly have my hands full. I wouldn't be without either of them and love them to bits, but I think a 2-2.5 year gap is much more sensible

8 years.... first birth was a tad traumatic... and theres NO WAY i could do pregnant with a newb... that would be suicide

Hello When baby arrives this will be a 2 1/2 year age gap, which is what we wanted. Not sure what to expect as some people have said its a hard gap, others a nice one so who knows!!

I have 5 years 5 months between Jess and Aimee and almost 14 months between Aimee and Nathan. I have to agree with Kina though and say I wouldn't recommend having them so close together. Its really hard work! maybe we should of left it another year or so but we cope somehow. For every nice thing that they do together there's 10 bad things.

This little one isn't here yet but I'm under no illusions it'll be a walk in park Isaac was very hard work on his own!! But I don't think there's a too soon, too late, I think its a personal choice because only YOU the parents need to feel ready, no-one else is bringing up your children, so if its too soon for you, don't have another child yet

5, 3 and 5 year gaps.

Bigger age gaps have a downside too - it's hard to find things everybody likes to do as a family, and I worked out the other week by the time Alex leaves primary school, my kids will have been there for 20 years, school's about a mile away so thats a shocking 15,000 miles

22 months between my children. It's lovely in that Lydia is still young enough to grow up close to her brother, yet big enough that she understands what I tell her and can be more like "mama's helper".

Only downside is when she launches off into a terrible-two moment and becomes difficult.

Otherwise it's nice though
