Will the second child be too old if the age difference is 9 years?

Patient's question:

I am 30 years old this year, and the eldest child is almost 8 years old. I feel like I want a second child now. Will the age difference between the two children be too large?

Doctor's answer:

Here's the translation of your text into English, with the line breaks preserved as instructed:
As I told you, the policy on having a second child has been relaxed now, so you can consider getting pregnant. The living conditions are quite good now, and generally, women in their 35th to 38th year can still get pregnant. The age difference of 12 years between the two children is not a problem at all. You don't need to worry about psychological issues for the children. Their age difference will absolutely not lead to any rejection.
I suggest that if you're planning to get pregnant, it's best to deliver as soon as possible. Taking folic acid tablets for three months before and after pregnancy can effectively prevent neural tube defects.
