Looks Like I Am Joining the Club!

I just got my BFP today. We were planning on 2 under 2, but I was shocked to see that plus sign. We are so excited though. Did any of your OBs give you a hard time? I am a little nervous to call mine tomorrow since she wanted us to wait a year before getting pregnant again.

Congrats on your BFP! I have a great relationship with my OB (I think I keep them in business)...Did you have any complications with your LO that might make your OB want you to wait a year before TTC again? I think it's odd that they would give an opinion on when you can TTC unless there was a reason to wait.... GL and H&H nine months!

Congrats and welcome! My OB is really easy going. He didn't say anything either way. It may happen a lot in his practice. My PT told me that it takes about 7 mos for your body to get back to its original state..muscles and hip bones. We waited 6 mos.

No, we didn't have any complications at all. I had a pretty easy pregnancy and delivery. I think my OB is just on the conservative side.

Congrats!

No, my OB didn't give me a hard time at all. It was quite the opposite, actually. She was really excited and gave me a hug! I was nervous too though. I thought for sure she was going to lecture me, etc since DD was only about 4.5 months. I had a c/s without complications FWIW.

Congrats and welcome!

I didn't get a hard time from my OB. However, at my 6 week appointment (and right before my c-section, lol) I asked the doctor when it was ok to conceive again since we planned on having kids close in age. He said anytime after my 6 week checkup was fine. When I came in at 8 weeks pregnant (and with my 6 month old, lol) he said "wow, didnt think I'd see you back this quick!" He was very happy for me though.

The only thing he did differently because of the pregnancies spaced so close was check my vitamin levels at the first visit. He said some women who get pregnant close together are vitamin deficient from the baby taking all their nutrients, so if that were the case he might want me to take some extra supplements if necessary. Luckily I was fine, and that was the only thing different than anyone else.

Best wishes for a healthy pregnancy!

Congrats! Looks like we are going to have 2 about the same ages. My little girl will be 6 months on the 18th and I just found out I was pregnant with #2 yesterday! So excited and we were trying.

My OB haven't seen her yet but she basically told me at my last appointment that anytime we wanted to start trying we could. So it didn't take to long.

Congrats again!
