2 3/4 years apart, and then 6 3/4 years apart. Not planned. Wish my 8 year old DD could have a sibling close to her age. It would make parenting her so much easier. I just hosted two nieces her age for Shabbos, and saw how much she gains from that. I should do it more often.

Close to a year
Close to a year and a half
My baby is a year old.
I love them, but it took a toll on my health. Next baby, if there is one, will only be once I am healthy again. Probably not for a while.

I don't plan or take BC. I nurse each child till I'm pregnant with the next.

My boys are about 2 years apart. Followed by my girls 18 months apart.

My smallest gap is 2 yrs 2 mnths...

I totally dont relate to some of the age gaps listed here. Isn't it hard on you/ the kids/ your marriage?

Enjoy your kiddies Tongue Out

To those off you who wrote unplanned - just curious what that means - all of you had birth control that failed? sometimes twice in a row?

11 months UNPLANNED
Next will be exactly 2 years, also unplanned, but at least my older kids can be in playgroup this time.
My idea space would be 3-4 years

My first 2 are 13 months apart. Third child after 23 months.

After my first I took the minipill but couldnt get clean so I stopped. After my second I took it again and it worked until I stopped nursing my baby at night. After my third I am on iud. Not taking chances..... I am not emotionally ready and my baby is now a year and a half. I def need another year if not more.

4, 2, 1 - I guess iyh next ones will be twins LOL.

Nothing was planned. I don't "plan". Though I tried to plan for the first one and ended up with a gap I didn't want. So now I don't plan.
