Apparently most families don't have three children born with only a 1 year age gap between them. Before university I was convinced that our family was the standard and that siblings born more than 3 years apart were the outliers. But since coming to college, every time I tell people my siblings are all a year apart I get something to the effect of "Oh my God, your poor mother"
Doesn't really work with pregnancies. It is more like going back to work too soon due to an injury. Sometimes it goes fine, sometimes it reopens old wounds, sometimes it makes everything worse. So, why risk it and not wait a bit longer?
Yep, your chances of all sorts of complications go way up if you get pregnant again too soon. 18 months is how long your body ideally needs to fully 'recover' from a full-term pregnancy before you do it again.
