-When they started to TTC their second child?
-How far apart the children were?
-Were you happy with their age gap?
-How did you cope with the pregnancy with a child already?
-and what was it like with the two children?
ETA - AND what was your second birth like in comparison to the first?


OK lets start

1-we have to start straight away due to us taking a very long time to concive DS ( 18mths) so we used no protection after 2 yrs went to the doc he had a look at me and was going on about how good it was to see young overies had a look at DH found out he has a bad count but then told us if we were 10 yrs older he would help us straight away with the count that DH has but as we were so young ( 23 ) come back in a year Grrrrrrrrr he made me so mad!!!!!! But anyway we did manage to do it ourselves yippy

2- so our kiddlets are 3 yrs and 1mth apart with all of them for someone who can't plan for when we will fall we have had a April May and June baby all I need now is a July as I'm march and DH is Aug LOL

3-Well I really wanted a 2 yrs gap but now that I have a 3 I am very happy as the 3yr old is nappy trained, so I have never had two in nappies and can understand basic instrutions and know they have to be very careful around a new baby.

4-well with my 1st my DS was a very good sleeper still so I just tried to sleep when he did and he leard to put on a video when he wante to watch Blues clues, but when having our 3rd my 1st was in school so found it very hard on a bad M/S day to get up to take him to school or pick him up but we got through it all...

5- whats it like well busy but enjoyable you try to play with the older one while the baby is asleep but for some reason the tiedness that you just cant shake when you have your 1st isn't there as much as it was with your 1st you seem to be able to function much better well at least I did...

6- Well my 1st I had high BP so was in and out of hospital and ended up been indused( sp?) but other that that for me they have all been alike all have been only about 3 to 4 hrs the midwife has always had to break my waters but I tore with DS and not with the girls maybe he had a bigger head LOL so with all three i have gone home early...

The biggest thing I find is that you want to go home sooner with the other babies you have mostly for because 1) I missed my other child too much and 2) I always feel like they are been to noisey for the other mums in the hoospital so DH doesnt get much time with baby until we get home but that because we have always had our babies out my home state so no -one to help out and look after the other children I even had to have DS in the labor ward with me when we had DD1 but he and the poor nurse that had to look after him were great...
