I believe that there have been some studies like
that, but my general impression of them (without hunting some
down) is that results are quite mixed, with advantages and
disadvantages for most spacings.

Kinda sounds like life, huh? And hard to quantify the personality aspect
of it as well.

Yep ;-) I think it helps to know what the studies
suggest, but in many people's lives, practical factors overtake
many of the other issues anyway! I think if you have particular
issues in your history, maybe some aspect or other becomes
more salient. For instance, if you have a history of preterm
labor, maybe it's worth your while not to space too closely.
Otherwise, maybe other factors are more important.


Exactly. Or if you have fertility issues and are doing medically assisted
TTC or adopting, then you take what you can get, and the spacing be damned!
