I would like to begin by congratulating you on your pregnancy. I know this is an exciting time for you and your family and I wish you all the best. I'm sure you and your baby will have a bright and healthy future. Congratulations again! Medically, you might run into risks having pregnancies literally back to back, but many have done this before and lived to tell the tale of having two babies under two! With the right care, you can prepare yourself for the challenges that come with having two babies so close in age. Wishing you all the best in the months ahead!

Just how many kids do you have? Do you have it planned out at all on how many you want? In the old days it was not uncommon to have a lot of kids. My grandfather had 8 brothers and sisters. And my grandma's brother had 9 kids. I guess back then it was cheaper to raise them or something. But today it cost a lot of money to raise them. Like up to $300,000 to raise one kid to age 18.  I'm hungwy!

Your kids will be about a years apart. Not ideal (2-3 years is considered better spacing, for both parents and kids) but it would be fine. You'll probably be able to share clothes, which could save some money. Just be prepared to have a double stroller for awhile. On the bright side, they will both be gone, out of the house, at about the same time... but that's many years down the road.

My wife was told at least 3 months, (which we're 60 months past and not planning anything), but from what I've heard its not the end of the world, just some increased risks of complications you have to watch for, plus fatigue of mommy (and daddy, and big brothers). Its a good idea to wait longer, but I wouldn't get too worried about it.

WonderBell99 · Answer

Hey, mama. I think it is best you wait a year or two before trying for another baby. It is recommended to have at least a space of 2 years before having another kid. You are probably very tired now, please do not stress yourself out.

Your body needs some time to recover from this pregnancy. Getting pregnant right away can be detrimental to your health. Not only this, but also, you need time to bond with your newborn and having two kids under 2 can be very stressful. Take a pregnancy test just to be sure, and go to your gynecologist. Everything will be okay. Take some deep breaths. I’m sure you’re an awesome mother. Sending love.

LaFemmeFatale_1 · Answer

I think it would be better to have a bit more space between pregnancies, to give your body and mind time to recover and rest, to have some time for yourself, I can only imagine how stressful it is to have children, breastfeed and on top of that be pregnant right after birth.

You are a human, you are not a superhuman machine, your body needs to have a rest, so does your mind… I hope you manage to have a rest and fully recover your energies and I am sure everything will go perfectly for you.

Just, take care of yourself.

sheikalana · Answer

A doctor would answer this question better. It happens to a lot of woman and the babies are fine, however, two months is not long enough for a woman to recover from a pregnancy and its side effects but again I'm no expert. I also want to be like Rihanna and get pregnant again after six months LOL.

Mansearching · Answer

It can happen. Not ideal. Not a good idea to have 2 babies breast feeding at same time (if that can happen). I do know its easier to get pregnant after you give birth.

If you are, congrats again. Will pray for you. Good luck. Any plans on getting fixed after this one?

Charliefretz329 · Answer

It depends on your personal health. This I would discuss with your doctor…

Each person and situation is different but the doctors usually recommend a waiting period for healing.

Also I might have heard that Breast feeding can be affected

JeffersonA · Answer

A lot of women g. do this the doctors say you can't get pregnant for a while but I know many mom's who got pregnant as soon as they both got back into bed again.

It is often a good thing having 2 kids close together! So hard on you but good for them

hahahmm · Answer

Ask your husband. If you don't have a husband then it's a bad idea to intentionally bring a child into the world without two dependable parents who have committed to being there for the long term.

Alwayreckles93 · Answer

If you had a sessarian yes. But if birth was natural I don't think so. It be like if you had twins lol The closer siblings are in age the better.

sage2021 · Answer

Since you are already pregnant I can realize your concerns, however, let's keep the ball rolling in a positive way. Just don't do that again. Will pray for you MaMa 🧖🏼‍♀️ 🌹

Miristheiss · Answer

It is fine. How many do you want to have? Then have that many right away and then have your guy get a vasectomy. Kids being born a year or two apart is normal.

FunkyMonkee · Answer

That's entirely up to the two of you, babe! Mostly you! It's YOUR pussy! I didn't think it was possible to get knocked up again after just 2 months!

Kelly6 · Answer

To me it’s totally fine, i have 2 1/2 month baby and I’m now trying to get pregnant again.

LovingJo · Answer

Your body needs time to recover... It's about  your  health and safety above anything else. But it's happened so many times before.. And to the question asking, yes, it can happen this soon. 🫂

poppy80 · Answer

After our first child, our doctor advised us to wait 4 or 5 years to have another. He said it takes a while for a woman's body to recover. He also said he sees moms worn out from caring for children born too close together. It worked for us. When our second was born, the first one was starting kindergarten.

Naydyonov · Answer

Generally, best to wait at least 1 year.
In any case, the real reason for this recommended resting period is that your body after once pregnancy will be low of nutrients. Ask a doctor, but I think it could be useful to take supplements or to adjust your diet to replenish whatever nutrients are low.

MementoMori777 · Answer

nah vibe out, remember the stress you gotta go through when they are teenagers, arguments, rebilliousness, you are gonna die young from stress 😂

Nahid1707 · Answer

If you need help, let me know
It’s not bad

Of course I don’t know you personally
So this isn’t a hate comment

KostasKouvalis · Answer

With all due respect, I feel this has developed into a fetish. So in short, "No"😂

Likes2drive · Answer

I guess if your body can handle it and finances then the baby you have now will be about a year by then. Looks like you’re going to be a stay at home mom for good

Cubus · Answer

That could lead to some pregnancy complications, but doesn't mean it would end badly.  Why do you think you are pregnant? Are you sure about it?

molonski2 · Answer

I'm torn on this one , the kids would be close in age = positive..

How are financials? What's the future look like as best you can predict.

But again , 1 odd year apart , would hopefully mean absolute friends for life.

Negative = Can you handle 2 tiny children at once? But maybe some synergies.

jennifer_bloom · Answer

I heard it’s impossible to get pregnant when your feeding your child milk but if you stopped for a few days or did not start or your body does not produce milk, than it’s possible to get pregnant again. My friend says sometimes epidurals can stop a new mother from producing milk for her baby as a side effect some mothers encounter, forcing her to buy milk from the store.

lightbulb27 · Answer

um... sounds a little late for that question. I wouldn't terminate a kid due to fear.  It may be tiring as heck, get lots of support lined up.

BCA6010 · Answer

It's absolutely doable, though you will likely need to pay better attention to your personal health in the meantime since 2 months isn't much time to recover.

Sixgunsound · Answer

Probably worse on a mental than a physical level, but the calcium and other mineral losses so close together might not be the best for your body. The Strain of having to get up all night and supervise so many little people all day and all night in various stages of helplessness is probably not something I need to tell someone who has more kids than I do. Does he just come back from the unit, knock you up and then ship out again as per the SOP for military🤣

Sure. My sister got pregnant just 6 months after giving birth to her first child.

annabananna · Answer

A doctor would say it’s best to wait to let your body heal. I believe you are more likely to have a miscarriage. However, a baby is always a blessing so if it happens it happens and worth celebrating.

They’re called Irish twins, I think. The same people who brought us St. Patrick’s Day. What could go wrong?

BlackJeep · Answer

RealMarek · Answer

I wouldn’t say it’s bad, but you are young enough that you could wean the fourth before getting pregnant with the fifth and maintain good odds of having the sixth, if I understand the count correctly from the comments below.

NYlatefun · Answer

I think it’s a personal decision. It depends how you feel and what’s the best for your family!

shortster · Answer

I think I heard that two months is the least amount of time to wait before getting pregnant again. So it may be quick; but should be alright.

Guardian45 · Answer

I'm no expert, but if you're a baby factory and you get pregnant, then I guess your body is telling you, "Let's Go!"

Sparkie460 · Answer

If your body, finances and your mind can handle it, you'll be fine.

OddBeMe · Answer

What would be bad? Health? I don’t think so. Your finances and mental health? Yeah, they’re fcked.

soe11 · Answer

Up to individual choice, nothing wrong, some like to make a family up being first as soon as then go to finance issue. Everyone got different philosophy.

Bklynbadboy12 · Answer
