Anyone have a really close age gap? How have you experienced it? What in particular do you enjoy/ find hard. Ds is 3 months old so not planning another pregnancy right away but I’m 37 and concerned about how long I realistically have left fertility-wise. Thanks for any input

Closest gap here is 14 months!! Never had jealousy issues and found bf a nice chance to bond with both dc at the same time!! Hardest bit was all the washing!!

There is 5 years difference between my 2, tbh I wish it was a bit smaller. I think the age gap has a slight affect on their relationship. Me and my brother have 3 years gap and we are quite close.

18 months apart for mine. Youngest is about to turn 2. I'm nearly 41.

I found I was super fertile with the second and fell pregnant straight away. It took nearly 2 years to conceive the first though which I put down to my age. But then fell so quickly the second time.

The close age gap is wonderful. They fight a bit but mostly are best buddies and it's beautiful. It's hard work but it's getting easier every day.

It's fantastic to get the baby stuff done all in one go.

Can't remember the hard stuff honestly. Probably sleep deprivation. But equally you may have a dream second baby.
Go for it!
