I have a friend due her 2nd dc on the day her dd turns 11 months (and she was 3 weeks prem), I'm sure there will be plenty to beat that so I'm all ears (and looking forward to the !)...

HC, that has got to be bang on the 9 month, surely? (SM, I knew the twins would win it hands down...but 2 mins is quite a narrow gap!)

yes, the second child was a bit prem (34 or 35 weeks I think) but still she must have been pretty swift off the mark....

Nemo1977 · 21/08/2006 09:59

DB is due 3wks after dds 1st bday and will also have a 3.3yrold but its not that small a gap.

piglit · 21/08/2006 10:11

54 weeks between mine.

Anchovy · 21/08/2006 10:33

A friend of a friend had her 4th child baptised on the first birthday of her twins... (Respect to anyone having sex that quickly after twins!).

There was a piece in the Standard this week about a woman with 5 under 4 (a singleton and 2 sets of twins). In the photo she had a lovely house and looked very glamorous.

sandyballs · 21/08/2006 10:35

You beat me scummymummy - 3 minutes between mine.

BettySpaghetti · 21/08/2006 10:54

Anchovy -that sounds like the same woman who was in the Guardian Saturday (ps -she had two mothers helpers to help her which no doubt is a bonus in the glamour stakes )

Anchovy · 21/08/2006 10:57

Hmm - maybe it was in the Guardian, actually. (Note how my recall is less than perfect and I merely have 2 under 5!)

hotmama · 21/08/2006 11:02

16 months between my dd's - quite close enough thank-you!

All you nutters who have closer age gaps must have had O.K. births with the oldest? I didn't have sex again until dd1 was 16 weeks old.

Within a month of the birth [shudder emoticon]

wheresmyfroggy · 21/08/2006 11:16

!7 months between dd1 and dd2, 16 months between dd2 and dd3 so we have 3 under 3, that is our lot!!!!!
Dw has had 3 babies in 33 months.

carlsberg · 21/08/2006 11:19

Same as hotmama, 16 months between mine although dh was on at me to start trying when ds1 was 3 months old. I told him to get lost though.

Piffle · 21/08/2006 11:19

my friend had 3 daughters under 2
one full term, one 7 mths later born at 26 weeks and then another 8 mths later born at 39 weeks.
Considering the two early ones were mergency c sections I'm astonished
She was caught as she had breastfed round the clock and though she was safe...
She now has 5 kids and is quite crazy in a nice way

NotActuallyAMum · 21/08/2006 11:21

My eldest brother and his wife had one at the end of March, another the following early February then another the following early February so they had 3 under the age of 3
