Second baby

Hello everyone, Myself and my partner have decided to start trying for our second baby. My first is now 15 months. Does anyone have a small age gap and mind sharing what itā€™s like? Iā€™m so nervous and now think the age gap will be too small so it will be hard but then I feel ready for another baby!
