Risks of getting pregnant too soon?

kittsy414

Are there any potential risks of getting pregnant too soon?  I EBF and had a feeling that I jsut may be pregnant.   I am getting a faint line on a pregnancy test. Thanks for any input.

My kids will be less than a year apart so I got pregnant around 3 months pp.  I asked the doctor about it and the only thing she mentioned was that there might be some concerns if I had had a c-section since the healing might not be done.  Ask your doctor.  I'm sure they deal with it a lot.

My pregnancies were 12 months apart...I am not sure of any major risks, but I do know the second pregnancy was a lot harder on my body...my pelvic muscles were obviously a lot weaker which meant a s*** ton of more pain...especially when I started getting really huge...for me...that was the only major draw back in regards to having close pregnancies.

It can take up to 12 weeks for your HcG to be gone after a delivery, but not normally.

I would call the OB today to find out what is going on.

I see you had a csection from your badge.  I had one as well and felt completely healed by about a month out.  My doctor did mention to me that they recommend waiting at least 6 months before getting pregnant again, but he also noted that was only a recommendation.  If you find out you are pregnant then they probably won't let you try to vbac because of how close they are.  That is the only potential risk I can think of...besides being tired and pregnant while taking care of a newborn

Ditto this.

I'd call your OB for beta hcg draws.

There's a strong chance that line could be left over from your daughter.

With both my miscarriages my hcg took over a month to come all the way down to not being detectable on a pee stick and my levels with my m/c's would have been way lower than yours right after delivery.

I was told 6 months by my OB.

I'd have a blood draw ASAP. I'm not sure what the risks are, but having had several back-to-back pregnancies, I can say, each one is harder and harder on your body, and the closer together mine have been, the harder they've been.
