To be really worried about my pregnancy.

[mameulah]

I have conceived really quickly since giving birth, approximately nine weeks. Is there any reason why my body won't be able to carry a healthy baby through a healthy pregnancy because of this?

No.

My firstborn was 16 weeks when I conceived with #2. I was exclusively breastfeeding when I conceived and all the way through the first two trimesters aswel.

The siblings will be 11 months apart? Will they be in the same school year? That would be cool.

Sex within 9 weeks of giving birth? Fair play to you! Congratulations. A few of my friends who had trouble conceiving the first quickly conceived the second. They all had happy healthy pregnancies (albeit a little tired... )

Oh, I don't know. Will certainly try for that not to be the case.

I get the feeling my doctor doesn't really approve, did you get any negative feedback?

Sex within 9 weeks of giving birth? Fair play to you!

I had to take the MAP 6 weeks post birth due to a broken condom and I'd just moved to comb feeding.

As long as you didn't have a C-section I am sure it will be fine. (sections you are meant to wait before getting pregnant for X amount of time?)

FATEdestiny An HV (whom I knew socially) once told me that to have a You can't conceive while you are breastfeeding baby is the ultimate in middle-class Guardianism. Working-class women would have a My friend Sylv said it was safe standing up baby instead!

• combi feeding, not comb feeding.

This is our third!

Three babies in three years!

Congratulations on your pregnancy. The human body is amazing - sounds like you are super fertile (an I mean that in a complimentary way) Why not discuss your worries with your doctor. I am sure he/she will be able to offer sage medical advice on this subject and it may take some of the pressure off to hear it from a medical professional.

I had three babies in 2 yrs 3 months.. no twins. Bodies are amazing, and can manage a lot!

Only thing I will say,... do your pelvic floor exercises as the third one just about did for mine!!!

Congrats!
(ps I had a 4th too, but 3 years later... )

I am obese although I prefer the term cuddly had a c-section with DD towards the end of August. Then did pregnancy test on Christmas Day. DS was born early September.

The only real problem I had that was associated with the closeness was that I got carpol tunnel syndrome early on in pregnancy with DS which normally happens later on. The Dr said this, then went on to say 'but in your case, your body thinks you have been pregnant for a VERY long time'.

I think the official advice is ideally to wait a bit longer to build your nutritional reserves etc back up again (which is maybe what your doctor has in mind), but in Western Europe, provided you are well nourished and had no major probs with the pregnancy/birth, I'm sure you'll be fine. As I remember there is some evidence that babies conceived very soon after a previous birth are slightly more likely to be a bit on the small side, but that's all really.

I had three babies in two and a half years. Three really traumatic labours for different reasons, the second two nearly killed me. The smallest was 9 lbs 6, biggest was 10 lbs 3! I'm still here, they all made it and they're all fine. It's hard work, fecking exhausting but there's no reason why you won't have a normal healthy pregnancy. Congrats!

It's not good for you as your own bodies reserves will be very depleted BUT it won't affect the baby. Babies are like little parasites (gorgeous ones of course!) but they take all the goodness out of your body that takes time to replenish, this doesn't happen if you have back to back pregnancies. You need to take extra good care of yourself and your nutrition.

I think your supposed to wait abit longer but I'm having my 4th and my dd will have just turned 1 and I'm due 3 weeks later

there's less than a year between me and my brother

My friend has two girls ten months apart, perfectly healthy! They're not going to be in the same school year as one is January birthday and the youngest is November.

The school I used to work at had two brothers who were ten months apart - one had a September birthday and one had a July one. They looked so different I didn't realise that they were brothers for ages!

As I remember there is some evidence that babies conceived very soon after a previous birth are slightly more likely to be a bit on the small side, but that's all really.

Ha, someone forgot to tell DS. He was 10lb 5ozs.

My son and daughter have 11 months between them, they are 9 and 10 now and in the same class at school. The only thing with the pregnancy with my daughter was that I had bad SPD, but I had it with my first pregnancy too just not as bad. Other then that it was fine, hard work with two close in age as babies but we managed.. I'm sure you'll be fine :)

I have a 13 month gap between my boys. I am ashamed to say I was devastated when I found myself pregnant with a three month old baby. But that was my easiest pregnancy.

In all honesty if the human body couldn't handle it we would be made in such a way that did not let it happen. Well that's my opinion anyway.

2 under 1 you've got your work cut out there. Worry about that if anything!
