I am just wondering. I have 2 children my daughter just turned 5 yesterday and my son is almost 18 months old. My husband and I are wanting to have more children. I kind of want to start trying now, but my husband wants to wait for another year that way our kids will be at least 3 years apart. What do you think?? If I were to conceive within the next month or two my son would be about 2 years old when I had our next child. Is that a good age gap?

I have three son's who are all three years apart.
My sons are nine years old, six years old, and three years old.
I don't think there is a perfect age gap between siblings
every family is different. My sister and I are eight years apart
(same parents of course) and my husband and his (2) brothers are all two years apart from each other. My husband and his brothers are close, my sister and I have never been that close (I am older).
I am so thankful and happy that it took me two years to get pregnant every time (most women would be stressed out about it). I had three c-sections and my body was able to recover from the surgery before having the next son. I am pregnant with baby # 4 and after this I am finally going to use some sort of birth control!

My children will be 2 years apart (my daughter is currently 2 and our 2nd baby is due in March). I think that 2 years is a perfect age difference because they are still close enough in age where they can relate to eachother and play with eachother and are usually interested in playing the same types of imaginitive games as little kids. My little bro and I are 2 years apart and we always have been and still are best friends. We played together all of the time and had a blast!

I like the idea of them being 2-3 years apart. Much more than that and they will have a hard time playing together. My sister and brother and I were all 2 years apart. My husband and his brother are 2 years apart.

I just had my first baby in August and I'm almost 10 weeks with my 2nd.
I think it depends on the parents of how far apart they want their children to be. Did I plan this? Absolutely not. Although, some parents do. It just really depends. I wanted to wait at least 7 years to have my 2nd child but, it didn't work my way. lol

It doesn't matter what anyone thinks but your husband and you when it comes to your children. My oldest just turned 14, then I have a 12 yr old and a 3 month old.

we've 4 childrens (9yrs right down to 1yr previous), age gaps are 3 one million/4 years between the 1st 2, 18 months between the 2nd and 0.33 and 3 one million/4 years between the 0.33 and fourth. To us 3 years is superb yet to any extent further and that they does no longer be able to tollerate one yet another to play at the same time. 18 Months grow to be way too short.... my 2nd toddler completely neglected out on being a toddler, i grow to be ill with m/s from 6 weeks and pre term labour subject concerns from 20 weeks. Bub #3 (and four actual) grow to be born early at 35 weeks and that i grow to be in medical institution with him for 17 days. circumstances for me did no longer help, yet i chanced on my 2nd toddler did no longer have the comparable bond with me when I got here domicile with toddler #3..... i think so badly for what she could desire to have felt whilst i could no longer be the mother she necessary. FWIW, gender additionally performs a brilliant area interior the age hollow that works. Our first 2 are women and next 2 are boys. Our center 2 are consistently bikering...

I think it should be what ever's comfortable to you and your hubby. Our kids have a five year age gap. And we're planning on trying again in another five years. I think two to five years is plenty because then the older siblings have time to adjust to being big brother or sister and you'll have live in helpers! lol Can't beat that. Any earlier than that, I think it'll be rough on the older child(ren) because they haven't had their chance to be the baby for a long time. Know what I mean?
