hi, i have an8 month old daughter who has mostly been an angel. recenty she has been teething and had a cold and a few weeks of sleepless nights has left me wondering if i'd really be able to cope with 2 or 3 (i think i'd like 3). my question to you is should i try and get pregnant with no. 2 (assuming it would be as easy to get preg as it was with DD1) this summer or should i wait another year? DD1 was born end aug last year, i'm going back to work at end june this year (fairly ok job, lots of WFH but potentially v busy, and i have a nice local nursery sorted). one the one hand, i'd like to churn out 3 fairly close together, but on the other hand, maybe i should wait until DD1 is a little older. is it easier to have 3 small kids or easier to space them out more? I loved being pregnant, but to put it in perspective, i am now 34, DH and 1 are both one of 3 kids and love it (I am oldest of 3 girls, 2 years between each, DH is middle of 2 boys, one girl less than 2 yrs betweem each). DH has a big important job so I would hope to give up work after no. 2 or 3. really keen to gauge opinion as i think there are pro's and con's to cracking on with it and to waiting. thanks in advance xx
