I had my kids 3 years apart, with no birth control in between. In my opinion, the spacing of children that is all right or all wrong. What works for some may not work at all for others. Everybody is different.
Three years apart used to be considered a gold standard for spacing, in the States.

But taking that long to conceive without BC suggests somewhat diminished fertilityon either or both sides of the couple. I am glad things worked out just fine.
