I have had 4 kids in 5.5 years. Though I had a six month break between 3 of them. The last pregnancy was hard on my back but no other complications. My bff has 2 kids 1 year apart and they are fine. I dont think anything bad will happen to you or your bub as you past the six weeks it takes for your uterus to go back down to size. I love that my kids are so close in age, they share so much. Good luck :)

I asked my OB this question when I was pregnant with my first, I asked if I had to wait a year or a certain period of time before I became pregnant again and he said NO. He said I`m healthy, relatively young (I was 30) and I was having an umcomplicated pregnancy and he said it was fine to have another baby whenever I wanted :) Ask your own dr if you`re unsure.

i fell pregnant 9 months after my son was born. i didnt expect it to happen first time. this time its been a lot of strain on my body and pelvis. each person differs but i do think too soon you your body may not be ready

they did medical research study and they saw an increase of risks like preterm labor, sids, and something else i cant remember that if you get pregnant b4 6 months post partum. it was on that day time tv show with all those doctors.. i dont know the name but its my moms favorite show.. but like others said its hard on the body.. buT thats not my opnion.. i had friends whos babies are just fine lol. but i think its probably not for me. but if thats what you and your SO want then who cares lol :)

I`ve had three pregnancies in 2 and half years. I wanted my kids close in age however; it does make pregnancies harder IMO. My body never had time to properly heal and for everything to go back into their normal places. But I haven`t had any comlications due to subsequent pregnancies. I just hurt all the time, lol

i got pregnant 6 weeks after having my first child, my second child was however born 2 months premature, but he`s perfectly fine now :)

I have a friend who unintentionally got pregnant less than a month after delivering her first child. She had a lot of complications, her daughter was born early and spent the first year of her life in and out of the hospital due to medical issues. It is possible to have healthy pregnancy that soon after giving birth but not recommend it. As people have mentioned, your body needs time to heal. My Dr actually told me to wait TWO year, not the usual one that everyone else seems to have been told.Not sure why exactly but I am guessing it`s because my labor/delivery had so many complications.

The baby will have the same chance as any but you should allow more time for YOUR body to heal. My mom had her babies 14 months apart. It was hard but they are best friends (two boys who are always taken for twins)

My boys are 10 months apart. The doctor told me that sometimes that can be high risk but normally everything is just as smooth as the previous pregnancy. If you are a healthy women then there shouldn`t be a problem!

Well i would say wait at least 6 months,if u had a c section wait at least a year.Then again my hubby was 2 months old when his mom fell pregnant again,so they are only 11 months apart and they are 100% fine,no problems during either natural births.

maddoxandaverysmama (696.9 days ago)
I gave birth at full term and got pregnant 4months later but gave birth 5 weeks early to a baby that wasn`t fully ready.. I hemorraged after having her and had to go on medicine twice and had blood pressure issues that almost got me re-hospitalized before she went home from the hospital. She`s fine now, just small, and has had a lot of upper respiratory junk her whole lil life of 3months so far.. its so hard with a 15mo old and 3mo old, they are 361 days apart... 15mo old doesn`t really understand that she`s not a toy and that he has to share, 3mo old doesn`t understand that he needs attention too, so we have lots of fits around here...

amber325 (696.9 days ago)
I guess it would be fine..But I was told to wait no less then 6 months b/c it is hard on your body to go thru it all so quickly again. I mean I know it happens...BUT I wouldn`t. I waited til 12 months pp

bethk (697 days ago)
My friend got pregnant 4wks after birth of her baby and baby and mammy are healthy and fine! I wouldnt recommend it as ur body is still recovering from the previous pregnancy tho xx

domsmom2009 (697.2 days ago)
Most doctors recomend waiting a year before getting pregnant again. thats how long it takes for your uterus to get back to normal. some people don`t wait that long and it`s fine (baby is healthy and all) but it`s just a recomendation.

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
