How is it having kids close to age?

Question

Just had a baby girl on November 17th and hubby and I are ready to try for number 2! It took us 4 years to get pregnant with our baby girl so we want to start right away. So, if we get pregnant immediately that would be great. If not than we have a head start! How is it having babies close in age? We are hoping our daughter has a sibling close to her age!

Answer

My first two are 13 months apart and my middle and youngest are exactly a year apart. It’s difficult, but it’s worth it. My older two are already good friends. Everyone tells me it’ll be nice that they hit milestones relatively close together, they’ll be friends, and they’ll look out for each other. 
I heard once you get passed 6 years old, it gets better. 🤣😩
I had ZERO complications with 3 back to back pregnancies. Some users on here like to scare women saying they’ll be high risk or have serious complications, but it’s not the case. It’s a small percentage of women who do and there’s usually a history. Definitely talk to your doctor because he or she knows your reproductive history then best!

Answer

Me and my siblings are 18 months apart! And then an oopsie who is 8 years younger! 
We are 29, 30, and 32 (18 months between each) now! We got along great. My mom loved it! She said it was tough in the beginning but she felt it was well worth it. She liked getting us into school back to back so she could go back to work. We entertained each other well since we were into the same things at the same time. She was able to get things done since she could put us in a room together safely. 
My sisters kids are 4 years apart and she liked having the newborn stage far apart. But she is struggling with them not playing well together as they aren’t into the same toys. She found the school timing bittersweet…oldest goes to school but still has a little at home but that also means little gets more one on one. 
There’s give and takes to both sides! The way I am with my siblings made me want my kids close together! My girl is 5 months old and we are starting to ttc again (with OB approval and it took us a year the first time). I’m excited! 
Definitely make a plan with your OB if you haven’t already! Getting pregnant too soon can be dangerous if your body is not ready (not sure how your pregnancy and labor was and want you and next babe safe!)!
Good luck mama! And congrats on the little!
