Mine are all close i got a 9,8,twins that are4, a three year old and a two year old and am pregnant again with my seventh child due in july. Personally i love it all my babies got someone to play with, and they are super close the youngest four are sleeping together right now. I grew up with siblings close together as well and i loved having them in school with me.

It gets hard at times but you have to be mentally and physically ready to handle all it brings. I have a 4 year old,a 2 year old and expecting my 3rd in June. All boys. They're awesome! I don't regret it at all!

My kids are 20 months Apart. While there are hard days, it's completely worth it. My youngest will be 2 in may and were due to have another in August. I love it !

I don't have back to back children as my boys are 3yrs apart. I honestly love that age difference and they do lots together. While my daughter is now 16 months and I'm due in July. There will be about 19-20 months difference. This pregnancy has been a lot more tiring due to chasing a toddler.

My mom did wt my brother and I. And my brother is older. By  a year and 1 month. He is by best friend. We have always been really close and I tell him everything(he was the first to know I was pregnant). Also being a year old he was helping my mom out wt me. But when were both toddlers. I will admit we got into a lot of trouble together. But in my opinion I loved growing up and always having a best friend

Thanks ladies! I Appreciate all of the opinions. I think I will put it into gods hands if he thinks I'm ready for another I will get pregnant again if not I won't. It took us over a year to get pregnant with the little guy we have now so who knows! :)

My babies are 11 years apart so definitely not anywhere near back to back. I do think pregnancy is hard though and you never know what each pregnancy experience is going to bring. Your second one could be way harder than your first. I couldn't imagine carrying for an infant and being pregnant on top of that. Plus, the time with your baby being so small and new really is so short. I say enjoy it for a little while longer before starting to try for another one.

It's going to be terribly hard. You will have 2 needy babies. But most importantly it's going to be super hard on your body. They recommend waiting 1 year for your body to heal & be ready to carry another baby. It's safest for you & baby.
