Child Spacing...

I that is something that only you can decide and sometimes you can't even decide that. I had my first and long story short, I had major medical issues with him, and my husband and I totally agreed no more for us, but someone else had a hand in it and almost 5 years to the day I had our second and last. There are times I wish if we'd planned on another, it would have happened earlier so we wouldn't have had to start all over so to speak. but then i think this is just as good, I got all those years with my son to have alone time with, and now that he's off to school I still get to have the time with my daughter and be able to share the same time I did with my son. I grew up in a family with alot of age differences. My oldest sister is 24 years older than me, oldest brother is 22 years older than I, a sister and brother who are 18, and 16 years older than I am, and then the closest to my age is my sister who is 5 years older than I, and though we are close now, we wasn't when growing up. I more less felt like an only child.

HI. I feel that is up to you. I have 2 daughters and they are 5 years apart. They are older and on there own now. my one daughter has a 12 year old, a 3 year old, and a one year old. She is done having any more children. I do not think there is any pattern for this issue.

There is not a specific time i guess, medically speaking, you should not concieve for one year after the birth of the first child, that is to give time for your uterus to repair itself and to gain enough strength to hold on the second pregnancy, otherwise, your it depends on your health, financial and personal issues, since your son is 2-1/2 now, you can very well concieve now and by the time you deliver the baby, he can be around 3, which is a good age for siblings, especially for the elder to understand the younger

When YOU are ready, When YOU want to, When the time is right for YOU!. It obviously never came for me as iI have only one,and I have thanked God many a day while he was growing up that that was the caseI have no regrets, which is why it is all up to YOU!

I think when to have your next child is something only you and your partner can decide. What is right for you may not be right for your friends and what's right for your friends may not be right for you. I have three and they are five, three and two. I can tell you that having two that are a year apart is tough when they are babies, but I am so glad now because they will always have someone and they are so close to each other it is almost like twins. I wanted my kids close together because I wanted to be a parent but I didn't want to have my kids so far apart that I was contending with different life stages at the same time. One of the mothers who has a child in my oldest child's kindergarten class has a 12 year old and a five year old and another has a 16 year old and a five year old...for me this was insane, it is like almost getting your child grown and starting all over. I wanted to be a parent and I love it very much, but on the other hand, I wanted to be able to say ok you know the kids are all going to be grown in 18 or 19 years and then it'll just be us again. One of the mothes in my daughter's class said that she had hers so far apart because she wanted them each to get to be the only child...for me this seems like a kind of lonely way to grow up. There are four years between me and my brother and I think that's all the farther apart I'd want to have my kids because any farther apart and my brother and I would have nothing in common.
