Anyone have kids with a 3.5 - 4 year age gap?!

Question

I wasn't ready to think about baby number two until now but now I'm starting to regret not trying sooner! 🙈 My son is turning 3 in a couple of months so if I get pregnant soon (assuming it does happen quickly as I haven't been able to schedule my implant removal until next month) there'd be a close to 4 year age gap. Does anyone have any words of wisdom?

Answer

My kids are 15, 12, 6, and 21 months. 
I personally love their age gaps and it has worked out well for us as a family. I’m the oldest of 7 and my mom had us in a span of 10 years which seems like insanity to me and glad I spaced mine he way we did!!

Answer

My daughter is 6, I’m pregnant with my second. It took a while.
My siblings ages, 37,34,24,23,17 - it means nothing x

Answer

🙋‍♀️ there is a gap of 3.5 years between my first two and im due my 3rd in Nov right before my youngest turns 4. I LOVE the age gap and its worked perfect for our family... both children were potty trained before a new baby arrives, at that age they can communicate better and speech is developing, mine attended montessori so it meant I had the mornings free for 3 hours while they were in school. On top of that I just think when they turn 3 they are so much more independent and it gives you a small bit of relief when a new baby does come along.

Answer

All my boys are 4yrs apart they weren’t planned but im glad I couldn’t imagine a 1-2 yr gap in age.

Answer

My two daughters are 5 years apart and we love it so far! My older daughter loves helping with her baby sister, she’s more patient with the baby than I am at times haha. I know eventually they will get into sibling fights and all of that but I can’t imagine it being any other way. Good luck!

Answer

My sister and I have a 4 year age gap. We are super close. We fought a lot as kids and then once I was in high school and beyond we became best friends.

Answer

My kids have an almost 5 yr gap. What’s nice is my older son is pretty self sufficient with a lot of things (going to the bathroom, getting dressed, getting a snack, etc). He will be going to kindergarten in the fall when our infant starts daycare so we will only have one full-time daycare kid to pay for instead of two.

Answer

My son is 4 years older than my daughter. She is only 2 months old but he has been absolutely amazing with her. He always talks about 'when she gets bigger....' and mentions things he wants to teach her/do with her. It's absolutely adorable. I was scared before my daughter was born that he would be jealous because 4 years with both mommy and daddy's undivided attention but nope! Not one bit of jealousy.

Answer

My kids are 3 years 2 months apart and I love it! I feel if the gap was closer to 4 years it would still be great. 
My son is fully potty trained, can ask for snacks/grab things if he needs them, independent play etc. it’s made having a second baby decently easy. 
My little girl is almost 11 months now and my son turned 4 in April. He loves his sister and now that she’s walking they play together and are so sweet together. 
The gap works great for our family!

Answer

Not presently but soon. I currently have two boys ages 4 and 3. We didn’t intentionally have them so close together it just happened. I’m pregnant now with our third baby who s due on my second sons birthday so either way this baby will be about 4/5 years younger than our older two. So I don’t know how it’ll go but I think it’ll be a bit easier to take care of our baby when our kids are a bit more independent and can communicate better than when they were super tiny.
