Age gap

ChristyNNorman · April 2016

Hi Mommies!

What is the age difference between your babies? My daughter just turned 10 months old today and I just found out I am pregnant again! It was planned and we are very happy! Just wondering if there are any other moms in the same boat. =-)

sgrho2 · April 2016

Our daughter is almost 9 months and I'm due early October. This pregnancy was not planned, but we're thrilled! The next couple of years are going to busy, but happy our babies will be so close in age.

ChristyNNorman · April 2016

Aw that's great! Congrats! Are you nervous at all?

GinnyJ2012 · April 2016

My first are 22 months apart. There will be a 22-23 month age gap from DS2 to this baby. The spacing was planned and I find it easy to manage.

ChristyNNorman · April 2016

@GinnyJ2012 good to hear! I'm kind of nervous!

atcwag · April 2016

My son turns 3 in early October and this baby is due late November.

meggspeggs · April 2016

I will have an 18 year old, a 13 year old and a newborn. Same daddy. A surprise (but very celebrated!!!!) little one!!!!

kms456 · April 2016

DD1 will be 3 in May. LO due Nov.

nlane0723 · April 2016

DD just turned 2 on 2/25; the twins are due in October.

PugsandKisses · April 2016

3.5 from #1 to #2, 2 1/4 years from #2 to #3.

Lol I have a 15 yo and an 8 yo and this one will be born just as the 8 yo turns 9, so just about the same age gap. I love the distance in years with mine. My sister and I are "Irish twins", only 11 1/2 months apart and we've always been very close.

blush64 · April 2016

My oldest is 17 years older than my youngest and my middle child is 2.5 years younger than the oldest. (15 years apart from the youngest)

Should we have another he or she will be a minimum 4.5 years younger than my current youngest. (and about 21 or 22 years younger than the oldest)

I am a fan of waiting at least 2 years due to the way I grew up. I was 9 months old when my sisters were born. (they are twins) I had one older brother as well. I really disliked having sisters so close in age even though we did play together.

Every family will work out differently. My sisters have kids close in age (11 months apart) and further apart (13 years) and it works for them.

veetveet · April 2016

we will have an almost 6 year age gap. I think it will be great. She is very nurturing and caring...i think she will be a great help!

PugsandKisses · April 2016

Dude, I just read your screen name. Change it for Internet safety. Stanger danger is real.

lalamomma · April 2016

I've got a 4 year old and a 10month old. I've said we were done. Just got the positive test yesterday. Not my plan for another but it will be an adventure and we are excited anyway

ChristyNNorman · April 2016

@lalamomma congrats! Are you nervous? I have so many mixed emotions! Lol

618mom22boys · April 2016

My kids will be 16,8,and 6 at the time of birth. This baby was a huge surprise!

thatlauragirl · April 2016

My DS will be 6yo when the baby comes. I had hoped to have them closer together but there are some definite benefits to him being a little older and more self sufficient.

lalamomma · April 2016

@ChristyNNorman Yes I'm nervous as can be. This year has been tough because of DH's work, but hopefully things with this baby will be easier and he will be around more, and we won't be moving so much. I basically handled the first 6 months with him being gone 80% of the time and no family around. I'm so thankful DD (the oldest) loves her brother and has been an amazing help.

Ninjafarmerswife · April 2016

I'm due end of Nov/beginning of Dec and DS will be 3 in February

VolGirl07 · April 2016

I am pregnant with my first but since I'm already 32 I plan to have my second not long after. My parents spaced me and my 2 sisters out by several years and we always wish we had been closer in age growing up.

asreinholm · April 2016

DS (adopted) will be 6 shortly before baby is born. We always wanted our children close together, but apparently now is the right time and we couldn't be happier!

Hector33 · April 2016

My first child was 4 months on the 4/4/16 and I have just found out I'm pregnant with our second. My husband and I think I'm roughly 3 weeks along.

mtgreen21 · April 2016

When this one is born I will have a 22yro, 15yro, and a 13yro.

yellingbanana · April 2016

I have two daughters- 10 and 5 yrs old when baby is due. But we were trying to space our last 2 closer, this last baby took 2 yrs to conceive! Our first was an accident, our 2nd happened first try. The last 2 years have been interesting.

ChristyNNorman · April 2016

@Hector33 congrats! Are you nervous?

jaymar9 · April 2016

My son is 4 months he will be 5 months on 4/24 and I just found out I'm pregnant again. Excited but nervous. Congrats to you !!!!

FallenLeaves1990 · April 2016

My daughter will be 4 years, 2 months when our next one is born!

mattanda2011 · April 2016

My first 2 are 16 months apart, and there will be 2 years between the youngest and the new baby

ChristyNNorman · April 2016

@mattanda2011 is it as hectic as I think it'll be? Lol

creativetype · April 2016

There is a huge potential that mine could be 4 years apart to the day. I hope not, but my family is notorious for double birthdays.

mattanda2011 · April 2016

@ChristyNNorman it is SOO much fun! At the beginning my life saver was making sure that both of the kids napped at the same time in the afternoon, saved my life! Now that they are 3 and almost 2, they have so much fun together! Yes it is crazy, and I have let go of my ideals of having these well behaved children who always sit when other adults are around - but seeing how much fun they have together I couldn't care less about them being "proper". They squeel together, and I can already see them starting to strategize and come up with ideas together. It is so fun! My DS who is the younger one absolutely loves everything his sister does and just wants to be around her. Hectic, yes, but oh so much fun. And we have finally reached the age where I can tell them to sing a song and go upstairs to get ready for bath and they do it mainly because the other one is doing it with them!

mothernorth · April 2016

@mattanda2011 That's what I like to hear! My LO and this baby will only be 15 months apart and I have been a little nervous wondering how it would pan out since DS will be 9 when baby is born and DD will be almost 5, baby is due 5 days before her birthday. I am a twin and our older brother is only 13 months older than us and we all grew up super close, but I'm more concerned about the baby/toddler ages. I didn't get to see how we acted then haha

mpatton16 · April 2016

My daughter turns 4 in June, baby #2 is due in November

vlbartlett · July 2016

My step-daughter will be 1 month shy of 22 years of age when this LO is born. Baby's nephew (our grandchild), will be almost 4.

Knottie25816533 · July 2016

I have a stepdaughter who will be 12 when this LO is born. She's super excited to have a sibling and am hoping she will be a big help during the times she's with us!

AlyssaDanielle2♡ · July 2016

Our daughter is almost 9 months old. Recently found out that we're expecting baby number 2! Hoping for a boy but will be happy either way. My EDD is February 27th, 2017. I am currently 8 weeks as of today! ♡

Phil413 · July 2016

DD will be 5 in 2 weeks and I'm due in March. So, about 5.5 years. We wanted it sooner but that's not how things worked out. I think there are pros and cons to a large age gap and also for a small age gap.

jkjjess627 · July 2016

There will be almost 4 years between the baby and my twins, I'm due Feb 24 my twins will be 4 on March 23.

AliJorgensen29 · July 2016

My sons are 18 months apart. I'm pregnant with #3 and will be a 2 year gap between #2 and #3.

I think it was hard at first but it's getting easier now that my boys are just about 3 Years old and 18 months.

kmleon83 · July 2016

My son is 17 months and I just got a BFP this past Friday. it was a HUGE surprise and we're shocked. I had hoped to accomplish certain things before deciding we were ready again but i'm happy. I'm also incredibly anxious and stressed because our son was born very prematurely at 25.6 weeks and i hope this isn't a repeat situation.
