I currently have a 7yo and a 18mo. I really, really want another child. I am kind of in the mindset that I want to want to do the whole young child bit in one go as I don’t want a big age gap like the one between dc1 and dc2.

I understand due to the close age gap there would be between them, that it would be challenging.. but how challenging are we talking? I have looked on here for others with similar age gaps to see their experiences and they all have kind of scared me to be honest! Maybe I’d be biting off more than I can chew???

Depends on what the kids are like tbh. That's an average kind of age gap, most people manage! How hard it is depends how your toddler sleeps, how independent they are, etc.
