Hi,

well everyone I know thinks I'm crazy but it worked for us. My oldest was 9months when we started ttc. I got pg 6wks later, but miscarried at 9 1/2wks. We kept ttc and I was pg 2 1/2months later, but miscarried at 7 1/2wks. We took 1 month off and started ttc. I got pg 2 1/2months later. Tirza & Asha are 2 years 4 months apart.

Now this is where everyone thinks I'm crazy. When Asha was 3months old I had my gallbladder removed. We knew I was having surgery and had planned on ttc as soon as we could after the surgery. I was pg 2wks after the surgery. Asha and Nadia are 12 1/2months apart. If Nadia would have had her way they would be 10months apart.

My problems with my last 4 pg's had nothing to do with the time span between them, my body just can't handle more pg's.

If I could plan it and know nothing bad would happen, my kids would all be 1 year apart. It was hard the first 2wks until my mom left and I could get back to my schedule, but after she left it was fine.
