What's harder? None to 1, 1-2 or 2-3?

[tryingtobemarypoppins]

babies I mean! Not ages!

Going from no babies to being a new parent was far more shocking than when I had the subsequent child

0-1 was hard as a bit of a shock, but soon found out that life hadn't stopped and really enjoyed dc1.

1-2, apart from being tired in the first 16few months, not bad as no2 just seemed to fit in.

can't say about 2-3 as still debating about whether or not to have a dc3.

I found 2-3 was far more 'difficult' than Id anticipated.

0-1 the worst, 1-2 easy, 2-3 pretty hard.

Same as celery.

0-1 the biggest shock of my life, and I thought I was prepared.....

1-2 baby? what baby??? (though once ds2 started crawling I became a full time toy-dispute referee)

Like Flappy, can't decide whether to go for dc3

first one is definately the hardest. The next two were easy (but exausting) by comparison

1-2 harder than 0-1 for me, but Ds1 was an angel and Ds2 wasn't, to put it mildly.

The jury's out on DC3

0-1 really hard. 1-2 almost as bad. 2-3 no problem.

0-1 really hard
1-2 definitely easier, though it had its moments!

I have 1, so don't know, but definately 0-1 is the biggest shock to the system, surely?

0-1 much harder than 1-2. DD is an absolute delight, ds was evil (well I think he had reflux but as a new parent we just believed everyone who told us that some babies are sicky and grizzly). Going for number three in about 12/18 months.

0-1 hardest (as it's a total change from what you're used to

1-2 I found really hard

2-3 - easy peasy

What FAQ & elvislives said

(3-4 also easy-peasy, if you want to look ahead )

0-1 AAAAHHHHHHHHH
1-2 Much easier but more tired. (18 month gap)
2-3 Easy Peasy

0-1 hard
1-2 easier, but tricky to juggle 2
2-3 easy peasy, you have the baby skills AND the juggling skills already!

DS2 is only 2 weeks tho, so could get harder lol.
i am hoping more people say 4 is easier then 3, as trying to convince DH we are not done yet!

2-3 for us.

0-1 hardest thing I've ever done
1-2 baby - easy peasy japanesy; managing DD1 as well, hmmmm..... DD2 only 6 weeks so ask me in another couple of months. But overall, easier, as you know that that after the first few shitty hellish interesting weeks, it does start to get better (slowly).
2-3 never ever intend to find out; please remind me of that when I get all hormonal in 6 months time

0-1 hard
1-2 easier than 0-1 but very tiring and harder to get organised.
2-3 easy peasy but defo more tiring again! but lots of fun!

0-1 ridiculously hard
1-2 sooooooo easy that I'm now contemplating no 3!

0-1 easy DD1 was a very easy baby.

1-2 Bloody hard, but then dd2 was difficult baby who didn't/doesn't like milk. Did nothing but cry/scream for 6mths.

2-3 easy but then again DS is an easy baby.

1-2 was a bit of a nightmare, dd2 was a good baby however dd1 took a good 4 months to get used to dd2 being around (she was 2.4 at the time)so was stroppy, spiteful and developed ezcema from'stress' about it all, although when dd2 was about 7 months onwards it def got easier, she slept better, dd1 accepted she was here to stay and found her a bit more interesting

Am fairly adament I'll never be having a 3rd (DH would love another) as I can't go through all of that again (plus not enough room/money etc etc)
