    When they started to TTC their second child?
    We started TTC when Alexzander was 10 months old, so January 2006.

    How far apart the children were?
    This bub should be born around 3 years and 2 months after.

    Were you happy with their age gap?
    Yes and no! We started TTC & I had hoped for a gap of around 2 years so not happy there. Having said that though, now I am pregnant I am much happier with the bigger gap because Zander can be pretty self sufficient if he needs to be where a younger child wouldn't be.

    How did you cope with the pregnancy with a child already?
    The only thing for me because I'm lucky & haven't had much m/s is the tiredness. Zander wants to run around & play with me, but by the time the afternoon comes I'm just too tired for it. Also going to the park / play centre is very tiring if I'm running round with him, so I just tend to watch these days.

    it was relatively easy

    -and what was it like with the two children?

    very easy. I found we all settled in well

    ETA - AND what was your second birth like in comparison to the first?

    I had a natural first time and a c/s second time
