With CP, 21 months. With this pregnancy, 23 months. They'll be just over 2.5 years apart. Our spacing 'goal' was 2.5-3 years.

DS was 13 months old! He & DD are 21 months apart. We are trying now for #3 for a few months and DD is almost 13 months old. We will see what happens! I really liked the spacing between DS & DD so maybe we will get lucky and have that again.

DS was 6 months old! and like @knittylady: major freaking out! But it's been great and wouldn't change their age gap

Barely 12 months. I think #2 was conceived a couple days after LO turned one.

8 months. I actually started trying around 4 months and in hindsight am SO RELIEVED that I didn't get pregnant right away. As it was L didn't walk until about a month after his brother was born, and it was almost impossible to not pick him up during recovery. My incision took ages to heal properly.

I found about #2 when #1 was 10 months old and conceived when she was 9 months. Surprise!!!!!!

13 months
I think the spacing was a little tough - DS wasn't really communicating well when DD was born. I think a 2.5 year gap (how old DS is now) would have been better. It's much better now, but those first 6 months were really HARD!

I had a MC when LO was 14 months old and later conceived with LO2 at 22 months. They are 2.5 years apart.

Got my BFP the day after DS1 turned one. They are just under 20 months apart. The age gap is a great.

I got pregnant with DD when DS was not quite 4 months old! But I voted 4-6 months.

10 months! I love how close they are. Some days are torture but the other days make it worth it.

Started trying when lo was 1 so there would be a 2 year age gap, but took 15 months for a sticky baby so they'll be 3 years apart. I think it's worked out for the best

@MrsStar: I agree!
I for my pregnant with my first loss when DD was 15 months old. This pregnancy that will hopefully be her little brother or little sister was conceived right when she turned 2 , so they'll be roughly 2 yrs and 9 months apart.

We wanted a 2.5-3 year gap. I got my BFP on LO's 2nd bday!

I got my BFP for this pregnancy a month before DD turned 3. She will be 3y7m when DS arrives. With my m/c I got my BFP when LO was 19 months so that would have been a 2.5 year gap. I didn't want any closer than that, and so far I am excited that DD is excited and old enough to be independent, interested, and helpful.

A week or two before she turned 21 months. She'll be almost 29 months old when DD2 gets here, so almost 2.5, and I think it's the perfect gap bc DD1 is communicating great now and I know it will only get better in the next few months. She's gotten a lot more independent so that will really help when I've got a nb!

We are waiting (until after my 30th bday) to start ttc, LO will be 2 years 3 months when we start.
Envious of moms who can have babies back to back, I need the longer break for my sanity:)
