To have only just realised I could be pregnant

Posting for traffic. Name says it all.

DP and I have only DTD once since DS was born, about 2 months ago due to combination of him working away and cosleeping making it difficult. We didnt use protection as I'm EBF and it was kind of a 'fuck it' moment.

Last two days have had awful gas, bloating and weird metallic taste in my mouth. Was burping endlessly in the car and DP said 'haha wow the only time I've seen you this bad is when you were pregnant'. It was just a passing comment but thinking about it I do feel exactly as I did a year ago when in first trimester.

Oh God I'm pregnant aren't I?! I need to take a test but it's 1am and I'm panicking. 5mo is asleep next to me.

Don't even know what I'd do. I'd love another baby but how the hell would we cope with a just 1 year old and a newborn? Oh lordy.

17 months between me and my sister.
My mother says it was hard, but great to be able to have a shorter period of nappies.
We grew up very close.

My aunt found out she was pregnant again at her 6 week check

Do a test OP

Happened to me too.

MummySparkle · 30/12/2017 08:50

16 months between my two. They're 3 and 4 now & best friends. They do everything together and their love for each other is fierce and strong - it's so wonderful the first year was hell though

LovePinaColada · 30/12/2017 08:51

Good luck for testing! 🤞

Tistheseason17 · 30/12/2017 08:52

15 mths between mine (planned!).
First year very hard but now they're older it's awesome x
Hope you get the answer you want

PeppaPigTastesLikeBacon · 30/12/2017 08:56

Oh lord. I wouldn’t be able to cope but I have a chronic pain condition.
DP is 13months younger than his brother and he said it was the best thing growing up as they were so close. His mum said that it was hard work but no harder really than the gap between the other 2 younger siblings!

Would you be happy if you were pregnant OP?

Wotrewelookinat · 30/12/2017 09:00

Good luck OP! Same thing happened to me...there is 1 year between DD1 and DD twins! It was really hard for a couple of years, but as they got older it got easier and better!

You say that you'd love another baby (sometime) so it's not a disaster if you are pregnant. Good luck either way!

LastOneDancing · 30/12/2017 09:03

tiredemma nooooooooooo! I'd die on the spot.

dArtagnansCrumpet · 30/12/2017 09:04

Happened to me too. It's tiring but getting much easier now they are 3 and 4. Good luck.

Squeegle · 30/12/2017 09:06

Large burps were exactly how I knew I was preganant with my second! You will cope fine x

TestingTestingWonTooFree · 30/12/2017 09:06

It sounds like you can make it work whatever the result. good luck!

BTW I don’t think you need to make excuses for only having had sex once.

CheapSausagesAndSpam · 30/12/2017 09:07

Oh OP! Shock Whatever happens you'll be ok...stressful if you let it be.x

tralaaa · 30/12/2017 09:08

I have grandchildren with 13 months between them Both boys and it's delightful you will be fine congratulations

ChristmasAtSquiffanys · 30/12/2017 09:08

Look on the bright side, if you are pregnant, you can have more 'fuck it' moments without worrying about the consequences

Beakyplinders · 30/12/2017 09:10

You may we be but, as others have said, it could be an unexpected blessing.

glueandstick · 30/12/2017 09:11

Good luck. A know of a lady who had a fuck it moment when her baby was a few months old. Turned out to be triplets.

I’d have left the country. But I suppose that doesn’t help if you’re the one carrying the babies 😂

Tighnabruaich · 30/12/2017 09:13

There's only 11 months between my niece and nephew.

Plipplops · 30/12/2017 09:15

16 months (planned) between mine, they’re 9 and 10 now and it’s great. Good luck!

GlitteryFluff · 30/12/2017 09:25

Only way to be sure is to do a test, as scary as that is! Flowers

ALemonyPea · 30/12/2017 09:26
