I tried to hold it in but I can't--2 month old baby and pg again

nemtown · February 2010

How does that even work? I mean, I KNOW how it works, but if you're not supposed to engage in that kind of behavior for 6 weeks pp, how are you already pregnant at 8 weeks pp? And even if you're pregnant, how can you even get a BFP on a pg test already?

Squishycheeks · February 2010

Two things come to mind.

1. OUCH.

2. WOW.

karskaren · February 2010

I thought the same thing - I can't wrap my brain around that one!

amwadas · February 2010

Sounds like MUD to me....and seriously how can that work?!

turtlegirl115 · February 2010

Maybe she had a C-section?? NOT speaking from experience b/c at 10mths pp I STIll don't want sex! LOL But apparently some people just can't wait....

Not supposed to is the key word.

Check out the clicky poll over there on sex before 6 weeks pp and that ought a sum up your answer.

But....to cut her some slack...her LO is almost 3 months and she is 5w pregnant..so she probably was past the 6 week mark.

This is the only thing I could think of.....

Obviously you all missed the sex before 6 weeks post over there yesterday. It was like it was some kind of competition to see who had sex the fastest after giving birth. Tongue Tied

PregoCC · February 2010

I was wondering if the hormone might still be in her system to give her a BFP, but I have no clue on that...

Anyone know?

she's almost 6 weeks (5w5d i thought i saw), thats not too early for a BFP..but that does mean she was already doing the deed at 2-3 weeks pp. she said she was on BCP but my ob wouldnt even prescribe them until my 6 wk pp appt.

Noelle2375 · February 2010

I have a friend and her and her sister are 11 months apart in age so her sister was less than two months old when her mom got pregnant. It is possible.

But yes, ouch and wow! lol

margeincharge2 · February 2010

It's also more bizarre b/c she claims to have been on bc. I didn't know you could go on the pill that soon after a baby?

Stellerbel · February 2010

Calling MUD is a little extreme but all I can say is good luck to her.

Good thinking! C section... But all i got to say is.. Ouch! and Oopsies! Embarrassed

electricdoctor83 · February 2010

I'm just surprised that she ovulated already....my body was still going "wtf just happened to me?"

krstokes · February 2010

Three months for me... meh, people don't follow the six week rule apparently.

EDIT: I don't condone it but it does happen. No sense in judging I'm sure the woman is in quite a bit of shock. The possibility of 2 under 1 is quite scary I can tell you.

ktallman · February 2010

My MIL had two babies within 11 months of each other- so she got pregnant literally right about at 4-6 weeks pp.

And the second baby (SIL) ended up having mulitple health problems, needed a kidney transplant - can't have children ... and to this day MIL knows in her heart it's because her body wasn't ready to do it again.

But even if you had a c-section, you're still supposed to wait 6 weeks. The no sex rule is because of the open wound in your uterus where the placenta was attached, which still occurs if you had a c/s.

t.bird · February 2010

there has been a plethera(sp?) of pregnancies on the 0-3, 3-6 month boards.

it's almost like a competition sometimes.

Shiit happens. She was on BC, she was horny, shiit happens. C'est la vie

I got on bc at 6 weeks pp. It seems like she may have just started bc and got pregnant... very possible.

But then when you're just on bcp, don't they say that you should use backup the first month or so to make sure it works. It's been a while since I went on bcp so I could be misremembering.

Obviously, to each his own. But I would be terrified in that situation, especially after having a c/s myself. I want to put distance between my next pregnancy to give my scar time to heal.

It's a shame that your SIL has health problems and that your MIL blames herself when really there's no way she can know for sure that her close PGs caused them. My sister had her son 10 months after her DD was born and all I can tell is that I'm sure that woman is scared to death and likely has a world of criticism coming her way from family and strangers. Can we please ask why the DH is putting his wife's health at risk? And clearly not using a condom (for the fluid purposes not necessarily the prevention purposes?) It seems like the PG women get all of the blame with stuff like this but as we all know, it takes 2 to tango.

IU_baby · February 2010

My cousin's sons are 11 months apart. She got pg again the very first time they had sex (she was cleared by her doctor at 6w pp).

ksayles · February 2010

Hasn't anyone heard of Irish twins? My BFF is 11 months younger than her brother. I couldn' not even imagine.

From reading through the comments earlier on that post, I do remember OP mention that she had a c section and there was some concern about healing, particulary that her dr wasn't pleased about this. Anyways, rough math, but she probably would have gotten pregnant right at 6 weeks PP. She's 5 weeks pregnant, but we can't forget to subtract those 2 weeks to get conception date.

nemtown · February 2010

For the record, I'm not judging. I'm just surprised. My dr said it was ok after 4 weeks but I had always heard 6 weeks. We waited 5. I suppose it could happen--obviously it does happen.

I want my kids close together. Not THAT close together, but I'm sure some people do. To each his/her own. I wish her the best. Congrats on babies!!!

That is sad your MIL blames herself. I hope that you do not believe close pregnancies were the cause of your SIL health problems. Most things like this are caused by genetic anomalies. My older children are 13,5 months apart. #2 is perfectly healthy.

I loved this response:

"Congrats! And at least you don't have to obsess about getting your body back in order! You can just wait until round 2 is over and worry about it then! "

yeah... b/c THAT is the priority after having a baby!
