Whats the age gap between your babies?
in Baby
Hi everyone,
I can't believe i'm saying this but I really miss being pregnant. Ruby is only 9 weeks and i'm so broody already! I really love being a Mum and Ruby makes me and my hubby so happy. I never thought i'd be like this!
I am now thinking that i'd love to have another baby. I can't believe i've already forgotton the pain of child birth!
My husband is in the forces and is going away to Iraq in October for 6 months so was wondering about asking him if he wants to try when he comes back for his R & R, half way through, or once he's back home.
Is this just crazy? Is it really difficult having a baby and a toddler? If I fell pregnant in May/June, Ruby would be 2 when baby number 2 is born xx

As you know there is 14 months between my two. Its was hard at first but once you get the new baby into a routine its fine. Thats what its been like for me anyway! And when they get older they will play together!!
I am really broody to but i am NOT having a third for a couple years yet!
Its not crazy at all...lots of people love small age gaps!! I do! xxx
I think its lovely to have a close age gap but i know it will be hard work at first.
Speak to your hubby and you can decide what will be best for both of you xx
One thing I would think about is whether or not you'd want hubby to be home to help you when you are pg. I know i would've struggled, esp with our 3rd if he wasn't around after work and at weekends.
Good luck. Hope hubby agrees with your plan xx
i think 2yrs would be a nice gap tbh!
there is 3 1/2yrs between mine as i wanted to wait til ds1 was at nursery etc.

My hubby was away for the 1st 20 weeks of my preg. It was our first baby so not exactly like your situation.
I think it was great, I didn't have to worry about anyone else; I could eat whatever and whenever I wanted, I could go to bed at 8pm, I only had my mess to clear up. When my hubby came home it was a real shock because I'd got used to being completely selfish and he expected me to do everything for him. We had A LOT of arguments but once we'd adjusted to living as a couple again it was fine. Hubby was happy cos he'd missed all my sickness and came home to a wife with a bump that kicked and wriggled, none of the boring waiting for something to happen.
Good luck with whatever you chose x
would do it all again tomorrow.xxxx
I loved my pregnancy & birth so maybe I've just got my rose tinted specs on at the moment! But I've decided not to go back on the pill and Hubby & I will probably start trying for Bubba #2 late this Summer/early Autumn - a gap of 18months to 2 years would be ideal for us.
I didn't realise that Dean was in the forces hun..you & Ruby will really miss him whilst he's away xx
So i think both ways are good and if you feel ready then go for it if not then just enjoy being a mummy to ruby for a while.
