[quote=Anonymous]Op, like you I had my first at 38, and got pregnant easily. We waited until 14 months before trying for #2, they are exactly 2 years apart so it happened right away. I am glad I waited. You cannot really measure risks here--there is a lot of unknown factors so I think you have to go with your gut, as long as its reasonable and you are aware of all the different parameters. for us, it was very hard as it was to have a baby and 2 year old (our older one was the demanding one, the baby was chill) and I am glad that I was able to give a lot of time to our first, who was pretty needy still when sibling came along but would have been worse earlier. I also just needed the time, including having to build up some paid leave again (had no paid maternity benefits) but also for us to establish better sleep routines, schedules, etc. My ideal would be 2.5 to3 years apart, but age was not on my side (and I still figured it would take longer than it did).
