I'd be interested to hear what age gap people have left between having children - and any problems encounted

My 2 boys are 5 years apart. It's good because the oldest one can do a lot for himself, and likes to "help" with the baby.
My mom had my brother and I about a year and a half apart. She said it was a little difficult, having us both in diapers at the same time.
It's really up to you though, whatever you feel comfortable with. Best wishes to you!

I think 2 years is the ideal gap

NO SUCH THING as the right gap whether they come one after another or more than a decade apart you will love them to bits
Doctors will say leave 18months min for your body to recover but for some people 18 years isnt enough of a recovery period
The simple answer is YOU will know when the time is right if your not sure then it s not right
ENJOY them

I've heard 3 is optimal. Mine are 3 yrs apart, and they play pretty well together now at 2 and 5, and it wasn't too bad having a 3 yr old and a newborn/infant. And enough time has passed that you can pass down the car seats, high chair, crib, etc....

Personally for me id like my kids to b as close as possible, So that when me n my patner retire i have all of them out of the house. Id hate having a kid in college and one in grade 4, that bassically means ill b mothering that child until i die. So i want them both in college once one start working then in two, three years the most the next starts workn. Have the house all to myself!

i dont have kids but between my sister & I theres a 2 year gap.
Everybody seems to agree that this is the best gap.

My big bro is 8 years older than me and we get on fine but I've heard that 2 years is the optimum interval.

18 years is ideal get one out of the house and then the next one can have the old kids room no one needs 2 kids
