My dh is chompin at the bit to start for #2, I'm excited about it and want another and look forward to being pregnant again, but am also a bit nervous. If we try and get pregnant this cycle, I would be due 1.5 months after #1's birthday. They would probably take me in early though due to having a C/S so they will have a birthday about 1m apart which I feel sort of bad about. And I also worry about peoples comments about us having them so close together, people can be so judgemental and I don't feel like putting up with it.
For those who have had them this close together, what was the hardest part? What's the best part? I figure it'll be nice that #1 won't be in the tantrum phase yet (hopefully) so that it will be easier to focus on #2 those first few months when things are hectic.
Re: DH is ready to try for # 2. #1 is 4.5m old, kind of nervous!
i got pregnant with #2 when #1 was 5 months old.
i'll let you know how it goes in another 2 months

I can't tell you how it is until late April, but I just want to tell you not to worry about what other people think. It's your life, not theirs. If it's something you want and can afford, go for it! Who cares what they think? Your LO will have a best friend for life.
ETA: Here is a recent post asking the same questions you just asked about having 2u2.
My babies are 16 months apart, but we got more comments while I was pregnant than we do now that my son is here. I just smiled and kept my mouth shut. Some people just don't have that internal censor to tell them to keep their oh-so-helpful comments to themselves.
The hardest part of having 2 so close together is feeling like you can't give both 100%. My daughter was held much more than my son is, but it's not because I don't want to, it's because I just can't sit and hold him all day like i could with his sister. Luckily he is laid back and doesn't demand much. My daughter is also starting to throw tantrums, but I'm sure she'd be doing that whether I had another baby or not.
Good luck in your decision!
Almost this exact situation for DH and me.
