It is recommended that you space your children (from birth to next pregnancy) at least 18 months. And to not have children (from birth to next pregnancy) more than 5 years apart.

Some complications for not spacing your children may include:

- less than 12 months: autism, placental abruption, placenta previa;

- less than 18 months: preterm birth, small gestational size, low birth weight.
