Pregnant again

nbilyas · January 2015

I just gave birth to my first child in September and I fell pregnant straight away. I don't think I can cope

First of all congratulations.

my grandmother did the same thing. Was pregnant with twins.... My two aunts and uncle were extremely close growing up. Grandmother said it was rough at times but you get schedule going.. She use to joke that don't worry.. At some point they give you a break and go too school lol

Congratulations?

cnoelle92 · January 2015

Congrats! Just remember everything happens for a reason. You wouldn't be given anything you can't handle!

Wait, so you gave birth in September 2014 and got pregnant no more than 4 weeks later?

MUD?

JoJo1111 · January 2015

OP have you seen a doc with this pregnancy? Do you have a support system? Is your partner supportive? Please be gentle with yourself, pregnancy is hard, back to back pregnancies are very hard emotionally and physically.

JoJo1111 · January 2015

Many people don't wait the recommended 4-6 weeks to resume sexual activity. Sometimes by choice, sometimes not. I assume this is mud but if it is not the op may need some guidance

Yummmm yeah.... I waited three weeks. That's close to four?!?!?

OP- see your doc. Take care of yourself. You are likely overwhelmed right now ... Give it a little time to sink in. Thinking about you.

I not buying this. She'd have to get pregnant in September/early early October to have a June baby.

disney815 · January 2015

My friend is a nurse and she told me a story about this couple who Had given birth in the morning, and that evening during her shift, she walked in on them having sex. NO JOKE.

AmyCee · January 2015

Very impressed (read jealous!) of your sex life!

We did Gymboree with someone whose 2nd came a month or two before her first 1st birthday....I saw them out about a year later at a restaurant. She said it was crazy, but she didn't know any different and all was getting better every day

good luck!!!!

What she said. My LMP was 9/22 and I'm due 6/29. Baby has been measuring right on. That puts my conception date the week of 10/5.

I conceived around September 12 and I'm due June 9. Also measuring right on.

Now I know what it feels like to have my brain explode inside of my skull. Awesome.

Yeah. this makes me want to vomit.

I, too, am amazed at how quickly people get "back in the saddle" postpartum. I was terrified to have anything go back in there after everything that had come out! When my OB gave me the all clear after 6 weeks I was like ehhh are you sure/CRAZY?

kimmarie1105 · January 2015

Seriously, I had a c section and was still like "nope"

I told my hubby that my OB recommended 8-12 weeks. Haha.

disney815 · January 2015

@KonaCoffeeBean‌ @Bednarova‌ @JimBobCooter‌ - my friend who told me this has never had children, so she had no idea how much this would absolutely KILL most women, myself included, so she thought it was worth sharing. I have since told her to a NEVER share another story again. She has not shared.

Trampslikeus · January 2015

Well, if its legit, damn, OP, you've got one thing going for you and thats incredible recovery!! To be boning AND ovulating that quickly after giving birth is pretty damn amazing.

rvasq · January 2015

As a STM my woman part hurts from reading this.

lfaithlove · January 2015

lfaithlove · January 2015

OP if this is legit, I completely understand why you are feeling overwhelmed... I have no real advice except just to be easy on yourself and we will be ready to support you through it. There are several moms on here with very close babies (not quite that close, but... still) so hopefully you'll find some common ground and help there! Best wishes!

Oh. My God. How do you even sexual? Lol my S/O talked me into trying at 2 weeks.. I swear it was the most painful thing to every happen after labor. I had to take pain medicine

WifeDeAngel · January 2015

Ok, so this is a blast from the past, but didn't Brittany Spears have her two little boys back to back?

gilder40 · January 2015

My older brother and I are 9 months and 8 days apart in age.

Buuuuut, he was adopted and my parents found out like a month later she was pregnant with me while they were adopting

I just saw a picture on Pinterest today as I was searching for tips for 2u2 a mom with a 9 month pregnant belly and a 10 month old sitting next to her. It happens. She could have ovulated early in her cycle and this would be very possible. I ovulated 10/4 and am due 6/25. Op, I am freaking out about a 15 month gap so know you are not alone in your feelings and I hope you have all the support you need.

Fraggle 1 is 3, Fraggle 2 is 9 months 20 days, Fraggle 3 is due June 29th. It is a bit scary but we can handle it. PM me if you need someone to talk too. All I know for sure I will be drinking lots of ~O)

OP, congrats on the love life. DH is lucky he had it at all since baby 2.

staciecoffey · January 2015

A friend of mine is nine months and some days apart from her older brother. As a FTM I don't have much advice but if this legit, you're in my thoughts and prayers. I can only imagine how overwhelming this must be but everything happens for a reason!

effthisnoise · January 2015

I know that I read somewhere that women are very fertile right after giving birth, but I don't know the science behind it. Anyway, I think this happened to Tori Spelling with her last pregnancy, too.

KimberlyandThor2014 · January 2015

It is possible to become pregnant just a few weeks after giving birth, though most women don't start ovulating so quickly, a very few do. I can't imagine having sex so quickly after (ouch!). I do hope OP comes back and chats with us, and that she will be okay. I have a friend who found herself pregnant at two months after giving birth and it was hard on her, but she did okay and is managing her babies just fine after some struggle.

What a hardship on your body to be back to back pregnant. I think I would cry if that happened to me! But OP you can do it, you can make it through this!

Schnurette · January 2015

I hope OP comes back too because this sounds waaay to bizzare.

That said, I had a c-section and DH and I waaaanted to do it right away (I felt totally fine, esp once I got my staples out) but I refused to let him near me until I got my IUD put in. Which resulted in 2 months of lucifers waterfall so he wasn't going near me anyway poor guy.

dancegurl1118 · January 2015

I had a patient who had a 4th degree tear (worst of the worst...vaganus) and got pregnant within a month of the birth. I couldn't look at her partner without extreme judgement and disgust.
