COMPLETELY agree, i want a 5 yr age gap - gotta convince OH about having another 1st though!haha - ive basiaclly said 5 yrs or 18 yrs he can pick, cos wen lo goes to uni at 18 i know im guna get empty nest syndrome!! haha so broody xx
There is 18 months between my older brother and me, I see women on BnB pregnant with there 2nd when there 1st is still under 1, and women at baby clubs I go to are also in the same situation. 2 under 2 just seems crazy (for me!) I am not implying that anybody that's plans to or is doing this is crazy lol.
We hope to have DD in school before TTC again, and I look forward to her understanding (sort of) that there is a baby in mummys tummy and that'll be her little brother or sister and being excited about it.
I also want a few years rest of STTN before having another. Am I the only one who's feeling like this??
Yes and no. It would be nice to have several years break but I also look forward to being rid of babies - hated the baby stage. Would take a whining toddler over a screaming newborn any day!!!
I didn't particularly want a small age gap, but my circumstances mean if we don't try for another LO, there may not be another at all. My DH had a vasectomy reversal, and we were told it may not be permanent so we have to try asap. I would have had 19 months between mine, but sadly I have just lost a LO. We will start TTC again as soon as we can. x x
Well I'm the extreme, I have a 15 year age gap!
Personally I would have another tomorrow as I loved it so much BUT I'd like a 3-5 year age gap ideally, as you said I want them to understand what's happening and be excited about it. I half wonder what these little 18 month old babies make out of a newbie coming along and taking all their mummies attention.... X
IF we have another one it will be when Callie's in school, when she's about 4 or 5. Wouldn't want to deal with a toddler and a newborn!
