Very interesting topic

I have a 7 year gap between 1 and 2 and 17mth gap between 2 and 3, so i done both lol

My huge gap was from a tramatic birth and pnd and i was never ever having more children after him, took me 7 years to get over it and luckily my second birth was great and had no pnd, hence the shorter gap, i wanted another one as i left the hospital with number 2, the main reason for 3 was that my older child is a really social kid and was so lonely without anyone around and we just couldnt do that to another child, i dont mind the short gap at all myself, has its bad days but i am sure any gap does, now i am thinking whether to have a number 4 or not

As for jelously, my 17mth old at the time of number 3's birth was really jelous and still is, we cant leave him alone with the baby!
