When to have my second child

There's really no answer to this. Every one and every situation is soooo different. I personally did not want two under two (and I feel like social media romanticizes it way too much) and my kids are almost three years apart. I love it. My older one was potty trained before the baby, sleeps amazing, could express himself and his needs, and has a lot more independence. So that was so helpful. But they're still close enough in age to bond especially now that the baby is getting older. I know a lot of people who start trying around that first birthday but I personally did not want that

I had my second 2 years after my first and they’re best friends ,I love their bond ,they’re 16 and 14 now

I wish I had a second right away! My daughter was kinda lonely growing up since she was an only child. She is now 13 and an only child for now

Had second within Two years And four days. They are good playmates. 4 and 6 right now. But having morning sickness with an 18 month old toddler was not fun.

We had a rough experience with our first, we thought we were 1 and done. When he turned 3 years and After things got easier for us we wanted to try again. The gap is 4.5 years and it’s pretty good! He is super sweet to his little sister who is 13 months now and I think we are glad for the gap!

I knew I personally couldn't cope having 2 young together, so I decided to leave a gap big enough so that my eldest was almost due to start school. Just over 4 year age gap and I'm really happy I did it. My eldest had a really good bond with his brother as soon as he knew I was having a baby he was attached to my bump and constantly wanting to see him on scans.

I wanted to start trying when my son was 1, mostly because after losses I knew it might take a while. Now pregnant and my son will be 2y4m on baby’s due date. Everyone definitely has different preferences and I don’t believe one way is better than the other ☺️ just whenever you feel the time is right 💕
