Who has a big age gap after thinking they would just have one initially?

[Mrstumbletap]

Would love to hear experiences from people with an age gap of 4/5 years or more.

Did any of you think 'yes we are just having one' and then they start school and you start thinking. Hmmm maybe we should have another?...

I struggled with the baby stage a lot, and was determined to never go through that again. But I now realise looking back that it's 1-2 years of chaos and maybe in the grand scheme of things it's not that bad?

Almost 5 years here. Wasn't sure we'd go for dc2 and then it too a little longer (2 mc) but the gap turned out to be great.

I got to stay at home for dd1 reception year and it was lovely having all day then with dd2. Felt like the best of both worlds.

Jim just waiting for DC2 to arrive. There will be just shy of a 6 year age gap. DS1 was a terrible sleeper and we both thought we'd just have the one, DC2 had other ideas.
