DD just turned 1 - am I mad to be considering a second?

That really! Seen a few discussions recently about age gaps and also feeling quite broody, despite knowing how hard the newborn stage is and DD is still really a baby...am I mad to be considering it?! We were going to wait until April next year, possibly after Christmas as we both really want a second. But I seem to be stupidly impatient! DD is so cute right now but still hard work sometimes so maybe I should just leave it for a bit..but in 9 months she will probably be so different right? I am also nearly 32 so don't want to wait toooo long. Any experiences of 2 under 2 (just!) gratefully received, be it to tell me I'm better off waiting till DD older or to just get on with it!! Also just returned to work 7 weeks ago...would feel a little guilty going off again so soon but it wouldn't stop me I guess...

Evening :) travelling I don't really mind to be honest as DD is already an end of August birthday so we totally missed point re school year there haha! Well it was only one caution to the wind so far...so unlikely to be anything but I guess it only takes once! Im a bit nervous to be honest...but it is really nice to hear all your experiences, it makes me feel a lot better!

Yes, mad.

You run the risk of one doing A levels, with the other doing GCSEs.

I was 6 weeks pregnant on DSs bday. It was lovely. The boys are very close and are best buddies for life. I ended up having another with the same gap :)

I'm thinking of doing that Likklemum (have two 20m apart and considering a 3rd) was is bearable?
