Spacing between your children

Pink283 · March 2015

This is my 3rd pregnancy and there will be 21 months between this baby and my daughter. My daughter and son are 25 months apart. What's your spacing like?

deanna1313 · March 2015

My son and this baby will be 16 1/2 months apart. Oopsy! Wasn't the plan, but great that they will be close in age.

Amazing450 · March 2015

My first and second are just over 4.5 years. This baby and my second will be 22 months.

ClaraBRunning · March 2015

My first is 11 years old. My second is due in October.

My son and daughter are 25 months apart and this one will be 4.5 years after my DD. We hope to have one more at about 2 years apart from this one.

4.5 years apart

smlowe9311 · March 2015

Dd will be 2 when this one comes which is how we wanted it. Close enough to still play (we hope) but dd has a chance to be the only one for a bit.

RNmommy13 · March 2015

There will be 2.5 years apart

Carmofrap · March 2015

There will be almost 2.5 years between them! I was hoping for three but couldn't be more excited to be having a second

MamaOwl15 · March 2015

My son turns 2 in May and will be almost 2.5 when the new baby comes. I think this is a pretty good age gap because they'll still be close enough to play together, but the older one will have reached some necessary milestones by then. He'll be old enough to forward-face in his car seat (the ONLY way 2 seats will be able to fit in our car), and he'll be in his toddler bed so #2 can have the crib. Also, we're working on weaning now, with a goal of being done by 2, so he'll be done nursing for a few moths before someone else takes over "his" boobies. And potty training is hopefully not too far off, so I'll only have 2 in diapers for a few moths or so.

Also, he's taken an interest in smaller babies lately, and stopped acting jealous when he sees me with his newborn cousin or the 4-month I babysit sometimes. This makes me think the transition to being big brother might not be too bad and he might actually LIKE it!

Just under 3 years apart.

Ecat504 · March 2015

My oldest will be 12 and my youngest will be 11. Starting all over.

nwt5 · March 2015

My kids will be 2 years and a few days apart. I'm hoping this will be easier having my daughter a little older so she can "help"

chariSelton · March 2015

15 mos between DD1 and DD2. This baby will be almost 18 mos after DD2

JustHyr · March 2015

Just over 3 years apart. 3y3m. I used to want them closer together but this way I think will be easier and big sister will be more of a helper.

ikpmomc4 · March 2015

My boys are 14 & 17 months apart. Then 10 yrs difference between youngest son and my daughter who is 9 months. Her and the new baby will be 16 months apart. It was planned.

dlynn484 · March 2015

This is my second pregnancy. My son and baby will be just shy of 3 1/2 years apart.

ajhellmuth · March 2015

My oldest girl is 9 she'll be almost 10, my son will be 5, and my baby girl & these two will be 14 months apart! I'm used to having 4-5 years in between so this will be crazy!! lol

MegJ17 · March 2015

My oldest is 3 years older than his sister and then there is 8 years between her and the twins and the twins will be 19 months when this one is born.

julesto3 · March 2015

My son will be eight and this one so 8 years apart

Remley5 · March 2015

DD will be 4 on October 4th, and DS will be 2 on November 19th. Almost 2 years between all three of them now

pregno2 · March 2015

My oldest will be nearly 13 when this baby arrives.

Jason&Erin82507 · March 2015

There are 3 years 4 months between DD#1 and DD#2. I am due 2 weeks after DD#2's 2nd birthday. DD#1 will be about 5 years 5 months older than the little one :-)

yoopermom824 · March 2015

My DD will be 2 years 2 months when this little one will be born. I think that's a great space!

barrett5 · March 2015

My daughter(5) and son(3) are 19 months apart and my son and this baby will be 3 years apart.

ryanandbekah · March 2015

This is my 2nd baby, and there will be about 3.5 years between. It took over a year to get pregnant, but thinking back, I think we'll have a good spacing! She's so helpful and independent already, so I think the adjustment will go well

Fingers crossed!

Lbloom · March 2015

This baby will be born a month shy of 3 years from my daughter. I think this much space at least was necessary for her, I'm glad it turned out this way.
