Raising children is a big job and takes time. To have children two years apart, you need to get pregnant again when the first one is fifteen months old, a toddler with little language. Running after him while pregnant is not so easy.

"I will get around to that later," says everybody. Nobody thinks it out. Does the math.

The young mother will need help from family ladies to care for and distract the first one.

To have five kids that way takes ten years. Spacing them a little closer in age is possible but same ballgame. A full time job.

It is not so much who is having children, but who is NOT having children. Even in Asia it is happening: women have gotten out of the habit of this career: having children. It's a big deal, requires mindset and skills, and is a life in itself.

Only India never fell into this.

The future may be more Indian than Asian.

Im on my second and honestly can't imagine having a third. I want 3 but my morning sickness lasts 6+ months then there's the post partum crash. I wish I'd started in my twenties. And this is with a great husband and a comfortable income. To all the moms having 3+, you are heros.
