The earliest I got pregnant post partum was about 3 months. I did not have any problems because of it. I am expecting #6 right now and only my first two were far apart in age which was only 3 years 4 days. Personally I think closer pregnancies were easier on me because i was still in the routine of things.

My gaps (between births)
3 yrs 4 days (between 1 and 2)
17 1/2 months( between 2 and 3)
12 months 12 hours (yes same birthday) (3 and 4)
21 months (between 4 and 5)
23 months (between 5 and this baby)

They are getting farther apart just because iw ant to cherish them a bit more as babies without the morning sickness.

The only thing I have encountered was a weak bladder after #4 but it is fine now without surgery. So it was just a short term problem. Labors aren't harder, my body rebounds fine. Just harder to get the baby fat off because it starts to pile on LOL

But I dont regret having my kids close at all. I just wish #1 and 2 were closer.
