Well, I have two boys. They're 15 months apart, and I can assure you, it's to fast. It would be better if they where around 2 years and a half apart. I got pregnant from the youngest when the oldest one was 6 months, so he couldn't walk, I was working at that time, so I was tired, but needed to take care of my baby. I love it now, they love each other so much, but when some one asks me if I would do it again I say NO, NEVER;-) It's physically to much.

As the doctors and those who experienced having kids, I think that the gap between children should at least be two years. This is for the mother, the child, and the whole family not to put too much burden. I have three kids and the gaps are at least 3 years. I had observed that the mother is healthier and the other child is grown a bit not to be a burden much to her mother! Have a wonderful day!happy

I agree with your other responses here. I had my first two within a year and that was "hell" but the next two were two and three years apart from the others and that was great..My first born is 25, second 24, third 22 and the last one is 19..lol.. and they are all boys..gave me gray hairs, they did, but it was so much fun to have them all "together".. still is:)

I just had my second child the 27th of last month. I had her brother 363 days earlier so they are not even a year apart. Right now it's easy (she doesn't do much) but I'm sure here in a couple of months it'll be a little harder. However, the hard times will end at the same time and the fun times they will have together also. AND not to mention that they'll grown up very close and can keep each other occupied so that maaaaybe I'll eventually have some mommy me time. THE CLOSER THE BETTER!!!! ......i hope;)

It really depends on you and what you are capable of. My oldest is 5 years older than his siblings who are twins. It was difficult to handle the twins because there was 2 of them, but not as difficult if I'd had a toddler as well as the twins. They are 3 years older than the next, which was rather easy to deal with. Then he is 18 months older than the baby. Having a toddler and newborn is a bit challenging, but I guess it's easy for me because I had the twins already.
There's really no right or wrong way to space your kids, it really is up to you.

i have four children and they are 17,16,14,12. i think you should wait two years before you get pregnant again. when your last baby is two years old that toodler is not much of a burden compare to a much younger toodler. when my children are two years of age they can do simple chores already like puting their toys back where they got it and fixing their cabinet and clothes. but for financial purposes and emotinally i think a gap of two years is okay. welcome to mylot hope you like it here like most os us do.
