Hellobee Boards

Originally I wanted them 2 years apart. But lo is 13 months..... and now I know that's just not practical for us. I get crazy bad migraines that only get worse when pregnant and my lo just isn't independent enough for me to lay on the couch in pain all day. She wont watch tv for a second, she runs from room to room and wants me on the floor playing with her at all times. I need her to be a little older so I can say here, watch this tv show or color while mommy lays down for a second. Plus id like her to be lofty trained when baby #2 comes so I don't have to buy a whole new set of cloth diapers.

Mine were going to be almost EXACTLY two years apart (my daughter's bday is March 12 and I was due March 13!) But, my son decided to show up February 22! It is a pretty nice age gap so far. I didn't feel like I rushed into pregnancy (I was amazed at how much I had forgotten!) and I enjoyed my daughter's babyhood. I just hope that when they are older they are friends, instead of foes. My sister and I are almost three years apart and we HATED each other growing up, I didn't want that for my kiddos.

Mine is definetly not the ideal situation 8 months between my oldest and my twins. But there is two years and three months between my twins and my fourth and it seems like a good distance

I think about 2 - 2.5 years apart. My sister and I are 3.5 years apart and honestly, we aren't very close. I know everyone's different, but I'd love to have my babes close in age to hopefully increase the chances.

4-5 years. I want one kids solidly out of diapers and in school.

I was doing some research on it and there is a ton of studies done saying that 2 years minimum is what is best for both children.

Ideally 18 to 2 years as well. We will start trying for #2 the beginning of next year.

I wanted them 3 years apart, but I'm ready again now!!! DH thinks I'm crazy since LO is only 5 months old, so we're going to hold off for awhile. I def. want our next one before I turn 30 so within the next year or two.

I always thought I would want to have them be a couple years apart, but now that #1 & #2 will only be minutes apart, I think we'll wait longer before having another/adopting. I have no interest in having three under three!

@Mrs. Blue: Twins are definetly game changers!

DD and DS are 3 years apart. I think if we have a 3rd, I want to get pregnant by the time DD is 18 months. But we'll see.

@Oceanis723: yep! I have NO idea how you've survived!

Ours will be 22 months apart. We shall see how it goes!

DD and DS are 21 months, and I think it's just about a perfect age range. They are so close, even though they're both so young.

I think we'd like to have a little bit wider gap between #2 and #3, like 24 months. That is basically so DS can master pottying by himself before we add another one to the mix.

if Number #2 arrives on her due date they'll be exactly one week shy of 18 months apart.

Ideally 2 years, but since I am going to be 37 when I have my first kid, the time frame will definitely be much shorter.

@MamaBehr: my sons birthday is Feb 22!! of this year?

It will be awhile. If we had the money I'd had them close together, like 2 years or less, but we don't so it will probably he more like 3-4 years. I want C out of diapers and pretty independent since pregnancy was tough on me.

I also want to lose 30 lbs, finish my bachelors and possibly own a house or at least have a more stable living condition.

were not sure on a def timeline but maybe around Pierson's first birthday or amonth or two earlier to start trying...if it was up to my hubby he would want irish twins, i told him if thats happening he wuold find all three of us (me, baby P and "new baby") all curled up in a corner crying together. lol
