We have a 3 year (plus one day LOL) age gap between our boys. We had that age gap for a few reasons, one was that I had low iron and low energy levels so I didn't think I'd cope with 2 any earlier than that. Also I had a home business that I enjoyed so much I wasn't ready to put it on hold just yet. The age gap has been fantastic, DS1 is toilet trained and he is pretty independant so it made things with a newborn much easier.

I felt fantastic the day after I had #2! I bounced back straight away, whereas it took me months to feel normal after DS1!
