ideal age gap?

[Selphie]

Hi,we are WTT but it comes down to what age gap would be OK. My last pregnancy was tough I had terrible sickness, passing out and crippling SPD. So I wouldn't be able to chase my toddler around if I were to get pregnant now.

I think when DD is 3 is an ideal gap but I worry about if they will be close or be too different in age.

What would your ideal age gap be?

Ideally when K is at school full time but wtt next year. She will be 3 in may so.it may happen.
I dont think there is an ideal gap its how you deal with it x

Yeah that's true. I know we couldn't cope with another just yet as the terrible twos have kicked in haha

It doesnt get much better once they hit 2 although once I set boundaries they have seemed to calm down x

I have 2 years 5 months between mine and although they're really close now, the early months were so hard! By the time I was healed from my section, it was time to potty train dd, and it wasn't easy going to softplays etc with the 2 of them! It's only been in the last 6 months I've started really enjoying them, and now dd is starting school in just a few weeks time, so I feel like I've missed out on loads with them both. I'm looking forward to doing stuff with DS at last, but I am gonna miss DD so much!

I'm waiting until DS is 2 years 7 months to start trying again, and I'm considering waiting another 4 months until it's a better time for us!

I don't think there is a perfect age. You just have to do it when the time is right for you xx

We x start trying next week �� my little boy was 3 at the end of august so hopefully will be nearly 4 or will be 4 when next one is born. I wanted him to be old enough to enjoy and truly understand having a baby brother or sister and to be of an age where hopefully he will care for it rather than argue with it. I was 2 years older than my sister and 3 older than my brother and we all argued loafs but are very close in Age. I want samuel to also have memories of next one as a baby. I only really emerge snippets of Deborah and Stephen as babies and would like to remember more. Then part off me is now wondering if 4 years is to much. Will they still play together.
