Never been told this. my older 3 were born within 3 years, then my youngest two two 11 months apartI've only had 3 kids but I've been told everytime after giving birth that its recommended to wait 18 months to get pregnant again as it allows your body to properly heal. Which works out to an age gap of a minimum of 2 years 3 months being medically recommended.
Sue has only done this once, between Chris and Sophie.
Every single time she has been pregnant before.
Her body has not had a proper break since she had Chris! When she stops breastfeeding, I think she will have a major crash. She's never experienced adulthood without her body being overrun by hormones!
