My first 2 are 4 years apart. I got pregnant with #3 when #2 was 9 months (she was an oops!!!). I liked it when they were 4 years apart, but I really think it is up to you.

My children are the following ages: 9 (will be 10 on the 17th of April) 5, 3, 18 mos. I didn't feel like I was unhealthy in between the ones that are 2 years apart, physically. But having the last three so close together has tested me emotionally! :?
But, the 3 and 5 year old are thick as thieves (little love hate thing goin' on there) but I would say there are pros and cons and like mama23girls said, it is your own personal choice. And however it plays out, is what you make work for you!

Thanks for the advice!

I was wondering the same thing myself! DH and I are "talking" about "thinking" of having another lol

My oldest DD is 3 yrs and 3 months older then my 3 yr. old DD and my youngest DD is 24 months younger! I enjoy the age gap in all of the girls, but 3 yrs. was a little easier then the 24 months! But, hey I think that you learn to play the hand that you are dealt! I do not think that there is any PERFECT age split! I also think it is a personal preference!!
I hope that makes sense....Pain pills are staring to kick in!!

MY son just turned 13 months and my daughter is just now 3 months lol...she was an oops...but anywho...it really depends on how you feel....if you feel like your body can handle it then go for it...if not then i would wait...my lil girl is young and i already want another one...lol its just somethin about being pregnant that i love and i love babies...but anywho just do what you think is best.

Mine are 18 months apart and they are so close friends.  I would have perfered to have the 3rd one closer so that that one doesn't feel left out but that isn't going to happen anymore as my youngest is 3.

It is a personal choice how close you want them.  I would say that it takes your body and I mean hips 1 1/2 year or 2 years to go back to pre- preganancy so if you want an easier labor have them close together.

When I had my youngest I basically sneezed and she was born.  The nurses and doctors could not keep up with how fast she was coming.
