Thinking about another baby so soon?

[mumbojumb]

More of a what would you do?
We've always wanted 3, DS2 is 11months and took almost 3 years to conceive him. I do want a closer age gap ideally but with no guarantee it would happen straight away it could take ages again.
Would I loose my sanity with 2 under 2 if I was successful in conceiving earlier than expected?
If you have 2 close together, is it quite tough?

I had 3 under 2, my first 2 are just 10 months apart.

I'm still sane but wouldn't do it if I had my time again.

18 months between my eldest two. It is tough to begin with but as soon as you gets hit 6 months it became a lot easier. They are 5 and 3.5 now and inseparable. I have a 3 month old too and honestly without the closeness I would not have coped. They are entertained by the same things, do the same activities and are the best of friends.

How is your DS sleeping?

Two years between our eldest two. It’s really hard work, but it’s lovely to see their close bond as they’re growing up together.

2 under 2 was tough but I was thrilled with it so put up with it all without really thinking. 3 under 3 pushed me over the edge a bit. 4 under 5 is a total headfuck.

If it’s what you want then you will manage.

I've 2 under 2 now! Time has gone doubly fast. It's hard, really hard sometimes but it's getting easier. Baby starting to sit up and more engaging. I think just being organised helps, clothes ready for the next day that kind of thing. If I could just get the naps together...if you have any more specific questions do ask!

I had three under three! Those were crazy days... I really do wonder how I didn’t lose my marbles entirely . I was on autopilot most of the time tbh, stuck in the same Groundhog Day routine and lots of it is a blur until DC3 was two/three and I started to feel human again. It was tough but I’m glad I did it, they’re all very close now and because they’re so close in age they’re easy to equally entertain .

16 month gap. The first year with two was a blur of sleep deprivation.

Starting to get a bit easier now they are 2.5 and almost 4.

Impossible to know how long it will take.

17 months between my two who are now 8 and 9. It was hard work when they were little but they are the best of friends (I have one of each) and I'm so glad I had them close together. Now expecting again so will have huge gap and definitely not another 2 close together and thinking that will be much harder as no premade best friend!

My DS sleeps OK ish, doesn't have any feeds during the night or anything but does get into bed with us sometimes. He's going into his own room this weekend so hoping to get him into a good routine.
I mean this would be our last DC and one thing that's steering me to try again is that I really don't want to go through it all again once my 11 month has grown out of the baby stage. I would rather just have a tough 2 years or so and then it's done, does that make sense?

I have two years between my eldest and middle, then 2.5 years between my middle and youngest, who is 5 months. I love it, the older two are close and very easy to entertain.

Just under 2 years between my 2 and its great. The first few months were an adjustment but we soon figured it out. They're 1 and 3 now and adore each other.
