 * There are records of intervals of less than 3 months from birth to next pregnancy. However, an interval of less than 18 months is widely accepted as significant health risk for both mother and baby. WHO recommendation is two years interval.

 * For whatever it's worth, my grandmother (RIP) was born 12 months after my great auntie Jean (RIP) and my great auntie Maureen (still with us) was born 11 months after that. Then my great grandparents didn't have any more children, for whatever reason. This would have been in the 1930s. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.200.128.34 (talk) 00:10, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
