The first one is always the easiest, it's like they know how to play you long enough to make you have another one 😆 🤣 seriously though, having kids close in age is soooo rewarding. My first 2 are 13 months apart, Irish twins, when they were babies it was a little hard cuz you have one that has learned to walk or trying to then one in diapers needing for everything. You carry one on your hip while you're chasing the other. It's so fun though

Me too

I have this and he's my second! My husband thinks it's all hormonal bc we are drowning sometimes with our 2 🤪But I often think of having a 3rd. Maybe bc I have 2 boys and am hopeful for a girl

I did 🤣

I have 5 and still have baby fever 🤣

My son is 4 months old. He's my second and was supposed to be the last. My daughter is 14, so they have a 13 year age gap. Ever since I had him, I can't stop thinking about having a third. Idk what's wrong with me. 🤣

@Sarah props to you!! what are the age gaps?

Absolutely not. My first and only was such a challenge his first year so that plays a part, but I’m so done.

Yes my first baby turned 10mo today & I want more children. Motherhood is challenging but rewarding, I love it here! Lol I pray I get to have more 💕

@Caitlin I had the same with my first. He was such a challenge in every aspect until now at 2.5yrs he's starting to get better. But my second is such and absolute angel and SO SO chill I literally can't believe it. Crazy how different they can be. Same parents.

@Randi I told him I want another one when are baby is one 😂 he is being extra careful but he will eventually fold

@Randi shy of 2 yrs, 13 yrs, 2.5 yrs, shy of 2 years..

I was ready to try again for a second when my daughter was 5 months old. Didn't get pregnant again til I had my first pp period at 11 months

I have a 10 year old and a 2 month old and I want another quite quickly. I've got 2 girls so would love a little boy

It's my first baby and he is 5m old. I think about having another one every day. I was so scared about having kids I put it off until age 35. I wish I didn't. I got pregnantbfirst time trying, which was great but I know it could be far harder next time. I don't think I could handle another so soon and want to get to 2 years first, but I think I maybe want a lot of babies now not just 2.

@Caitlin my first has been SO challenging too. He’s a great baby, and plays independently so well..he’s just always been a terrible sleeper, Until recently! He started sleeping alone at 3 months and that’s what he prefers, but it was challenging when he wanted me to soothe him because he HATED to be rocked. Anyway, I want another but I’m so scared that the next will be a terrible sleeper too 😭, I thought the first one was supposed to be easy 😅

5 months was about when the fever hit me too haha. But my obgyn wanted me to wait a year to try so I held out a little longer until about 9 months pp. We tried for 3 months with no luck, but I found myself getting anxious about having them being too close in age, so we decided to take a break until the holiday birthday months have passed. We'll try again in May which would put us at a 2 year age gap if we got pregnant right away. My first has been an angel baby so everyone tells me I'm getting fooled and the second will be hell. 😅

@Randi that’s what I’ve heard is the second is usually much easier! I’m just afraid to have a toddler and a newborn 😆

@Elena haha they usually are the easiest! I call it gods trick so then you want to have another, but for a lucky few like us the first is a challenge! That’s awesome he’s sleeping better now! My son woke up every 2 hours until he was 9 months 🥴. his first 2 months were so difficult because he had a tongue tie release, but then couldn’t coordinate his tongue so we STRUGGLED with breastfeeding the first few months. He’s a wonderful, happy child he’s just incredibly strong willed (which we love) that just makes it super exhausting!

No, I didn't want another for a couple of years, but everyone's different.
