2nd baby???

I put mine together when little one was 4 months and she was waking every 3 hours, as oldest one is use to it now, when little one wakes of no reason I let her cry herself back to sleep and sometime she screams and it don't wake her up! I would put them together at an early age Xx

my son was 18 months when we decided to ttc number 2. it took us 12 months to get a BFP so Fin will be 3 when the new baby or should i say babies arrive. At the 12 week scan we found its twins so will have 3! I know its going to be hard work but its all worth it. My friend has a 2 bed house with 2 kids and her 2 just share. They are 2 and 3 so at the moment it works fine. She did have to keep her LO in her room until she slept through though so not to wake her older one.

Hello I have 17 months between my to girls and live in a 2 bed house! I won't lie, It was hard to begin with but now its easier my second will be 1 next month time has flown by! It's nice cos they play together and amber tries to read her books itso cute lol Xx

Thanks everyone weve decided tht im phoning on monday to have my implant removed so we can start trying ohhh its sooo exciting :) x

my 2 there is 23 months between um.. tys just turned 2 and karlie is 4 weeks... i thought it was going to be really hard work with tyler doing the whole bonding thing and how would he take to her.. he likes to be abit rough with other kids but taken relly well to her... it was only yesterday he held her for the 1st time and he loved it.. gave her kiss and cuddle and wouldnt give her bk lol... i didnt really want them soo close as thought how would i cope... but so far is going ok.. i obviously have my days but who doesnt... and pushing a double buggy around aint too bad........



as for space well i live in a 2 bed 1st floor flat with a double bedroom and a single room... there is very lil space and is very cramped what with having all of tylers toys in the lounge as his room aint big enuf and he has soo many he has also got a slide and trampoline a goal thing and boxes also getting a corner sofa and some shevles as need storage and a new sofa also have a sofa bed and quite a big pc desk... and thats all got to fit in my lounge.... dunno how but nothings impossible lol... in my room i have no room at all u can only just walk in the door to the bed and cot kinda have to climb to get to storage area lol... hallway i have 3 buggys and 2 carseats and etc too much stuff in the cupboard to store anyting else.... i even have a foot poouffe in my bathroom coz no room for it lmao... so dnt let space be an issue im sure u will be able to make space lol other then that im glad ive had them 2 years apart... i deffo dnt want anymore until ive finished uni and kids are much older atleast 8 yrs lol xxx

I will have 2 years and 2 months between my 2. I fell pregnant at Christmas but sadly lost it at 13 weeks. There would have been 20 months between them and I was looking forward to it, one thing that upset me when I lost the baby was that there was going to be more than 2 years between my children. But as time went on I thought about the age gap and realised that a slightly bigger age gap would be beneficial for us all. It works out that Elanor will have started pre school, so I will have time to spend with the baby and possibly go swimming lesson, which I did with Elanor. She will be in a bed and potty trained, not using bottles and won't be using a buggy, so don't need to buy a double!!!!

thinking further ahead my eldest 2 are 14 and 12 years. they fight continuously and almost always have.

the eldest is always trying to get her 2 years iykwim. the younger has always thought she can do what her sister does. its been very hard.

i also have a younger 1 who is 5 so there is 6 & 8 yrs between her and the other 2 and i can safely say having a big age gap is sooo much better.

when she was born the other 2 were at school so it was like having all the joy and 'newness' of my first but none of the first time parent stress or having to juggle toddler and new baby not getting to spend much time with either.

i would say that you should either have a close gap or bigger age gap. i fell pregnant with my second when my first was 8 months (planned) so there is a 17 month age gap. lovely!
i then fell pregnant with my third when my second was 11 months (planned again although took a couple of months to get there) so given that you lo is already 13 months i would suggest waiting until she is about 2 until you sart trying. although she will have her terrible twos when you will be very early in pregnancy i think its better that way then having a baby to deal with whilst she goes through it.
hope ive helped and good luck with you're decision, its one of the biggest you will ever make. x
