[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you were 35+ with your first child, when did you have a second child? What age gap worked for you? My husband and I have a 4-month-old. I’m 38 ( turning 39 in a couple of months) and he is 40. Our plan is to start trying for a second child when our first is a year old, but now I’m not sure if we should start trying sooner or wait longer. I know the ideal age gap is 3-4 years, but we can’t wait that long. I’m starting to worry that having a child 2 and under with a newborn will be very tough. I have a friend with a newborn and a 20 month old, and she said it’s very hard. What age do you think is he best time to start trying? [/quote] There is no perfect gap. Mine are 17 months apart, and yes, those first few years were really hard. But you know what? I have a friend who has a 4 year age gap, and 8 years later, the oldest is still wishing the youngest away. There are challenges with any age range. [/quote]
