Girls, moms of children close in age... please share your experiences about how long it took to conceive a second child. Did you encounter any problems during pregnancy? I gave birth in February and really want a second child, but I am currently 37 years old and worried that my health might not be enough.
Girls, has anyone encountered a blockage of the tear duct in a baby? When we came home from the mate… Girls... my baby is 5 months old, and two months ago I started losing hair. It's really upsetting...…

Typically, there is a 1.5 to 2-year interval between pregnancies. At age 37, the risk of complications is higher, especially if there are chronic illnesses. Before planning, undergo a complete medical examination and consult with an obstetrician-gynecologist. It is important to consider your overall health, the presence of chronic diseases, and the specifics of your previous pregnancy.

I gave birth to my daughter at 24, and my last son also at 24 — they are almost the same age. I faced issues with excess weight and was diagnosed with GDM (gestational diabetes), but I ate everything. Thank God, my children are doing well.

A friend of mine became pregnant when her child was 10 months old. It’s very difficult, but she is receiving help from her husband and both grandmothers with the children.

I am in my third month of pregnancy, and my son is already 4.5 months old, while my daughter is 1.5 months old. I am completely overwhelmed and can't seem to gather myself.

After 11 months, but the child was unplanned, and we were completely unprepared. Also, having children close in age is not my thing. I conceived consciously and intentionally after 5 years.

I am also 37 years old. I became pregnant with a sibling at 35 and 36, and honestly, it was terrible. Personally, I find it difficult at this age. I never thought I would feel this way.

It's natural to feel worried, and you're doing the right thing by experiencing these emotions.

Mostly, the forum is very supportive of having children close in age. Women become pregnant again after 3-4 months. They say everything is perfect, pregnancies are easy, and managing children is straightforward. I gave birth after 3 years. I didn't find anything perfect or easy.

Irina It's good that we received honest answers 🤣 Usually, you read that the children are planned, and it's easy with them. They play with each other naturally from birth 😃

I gave birth to a twin, but I was only 21-22 years old at the time. It was particularly difficult when we were both ill simultaneously. Now, I am 38 years old. I wouldn't take the risk now, as I no longer have that much strength.

I have a difference of 2.11, and even that is difficult. My pregnancy was hard, and it's also difficult to explain this to my older child. Sometimes she needs to be held, and sometimes she just wants all my attention. After giving birth, my daughter experienced a setback and simply clung to me. She literally held onto my leg and went everywhere I went. Only now is this starting to diminish. However, due to her age, she still needs a lot of mom's presence. The little one needs her mother completely. As a result, I sometimes have to divide my attention between both children. Now, imagine having children of the same age. These children are biological competitors for their mother's attention. Their needs are still quite similar. This will be challenging for both you and them. During pregnancy, you can't explain to your older child that you're tired, feeling unwell, or can't carry them if there are any pregnancy complications. If the pregnancy is complicated, the baby is not fully ready to be without their mother for so long. So, it's very important to think carefully—at 37, it's still not 50; there's some time left.

Irina I agree. Maybe someday it will be easier there because of shared interests, but for now, I definitely don't recommend it 🤭

This year, we started planning for our daughter. The age difference is 1 year and 10 months. Great! 👌

I had my older child when I was 35 and my younger one at 36. Being pregnant with a little one isn't very convenient, but it's not critical. However, after the birth of my youngest, the real challenges began. I wouldn't recommend having children close in age to anyone—neither young mothers nor older ones. It's not because of the mother's age, but because of the way siblings are raised together. Later, I had another child, and with him, it was much easier.

My second son was 8 months old when I became pregnant again. It was a planned pregnancy. I gave birth to a daughter. Now, they are a little over a year apart. I wouldn't say it's easy, but I also wouldn't say it's very difficult. It's tolerable 😅 I always reassure myself that they won't be this small anymore 💔 and time flies very quickly.
