My mom had 3 under 3… before birth control.  Then she didn’t have any more.

i really don’t recommend 3 under 3.

I had a co-worker who did that. But her and her husband wanted three kids and  decided to go that route to get the diaper and baby phase over with. They were the only ones I know who ever had 3 under 3 on purpose.

Back in the 50's and 60's, that was pretty common.  Many women quit their jobs once they were married and many were pregnant within the year.  My mom got married in '55, had my sister 13 months later in '56, I was her Irish twin born in '57 and my mom miscarried when I was just a few months old.  She would've had 3 under two had that last pregnancy been viable.  She spaced things out after that, having 3 more each 2 years apart and then having an 'oops' in her 40's when her baby was 9+.  

In grade school, my two closest friends were from families of 8 and 9 respectively.  Another friend was one of 3 kids and we all wondered why her family was so small.  The times, they have changed.

My mother was born around 5 months after her parents wedding in 1952. Obviously she was a very healthy and good sized preemie. My grandmother had another child 2 years later and her third and last  one 5 years later.
