EXTREMELY CLOSE PREGNANCIES = I just had my son Feb 17th 2008, he`s our first born and we`re a very young family. I just got confirmation today after taking 4 HPTs that we are expecting again. Im so nervous because I`ve always wanted a 2-3 year age gap betwenn my kids and this is cutting it right close - we conceived Keegan this month last year. So Im preg. with a 3 month old, I could really use any support thanks ladies.

I am sure you will be fine though and that age gap will be awesome when they are older. My boyfriend and his sister are about that close and they are very close, especially for opposite sex siblings. Good luck and Congrats on your pregnancy!!

My kids will only be like 10.5 months apart. We thought we were done as we had a boy and girl and this one snuck up on me! I am now near 6months pregnant and I don't feel so scared anymore and am actually excited to have two closee together. Think of it this way, they will be close, they can share a room, you have everything you need, other then crib, AND you can get them in the same routine being so close. I know its scary but hang in there and you can always VIP me if you'd like. I feel you hun!!

mrsbekki - 143 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) My Sister and I are a little over a year apart. I LOVE the fact that we grew up together!!! In school she was only a grade younger than me and we shared a lot of the same friends. It was wonderful sharing life experiences together. We were extremely close growing up and never fought. It's nice to have a constant friend who really knows you because we have always been together. It make be scary now for you, but it will make life wonderful for your children! Plus, they will play together when they are a little older and give you time to get other things done. Congrats!

KarenVG - 144 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Wow, but Congrats too. Things will seems scary now but you will get into a routine faster with the second as you will have learnt some by then. At least they can still nap similar which means you should take advantage of that time to rest yourself. Good luck we are all here to listen...

jessicadarling - 144 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) My aunt had a baby in July of 05. In July of 06 she gave birth to twins! She was completely terrified but once the babies were here she couldn't imagine life any other way. She had her daughter first and then had her twin boys. They are so close in age that they will grow up together. And as someone else said. There isn't really a lot of jealousy going on because your children won't remember life any differently. You have a wonderful man and a wonderful son and having a new baby will not take away from your love for them or your ability to take care of them. A new baby will be tough but will just add to the love. You are building your family a little faster than planned but just remember how you felt when Keegan was born. And know that you have that love for him forever and for always and now you get to double it with a new baby.

vikki - 144 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I know that you may feel disappointed that you want have the time you thought with Keegan but it wont be terrible, Almost like having twins! Keegan will benefit from having a close sibling, he'll have someone to grow with and play with, and I know it doesn't seem like a big thing right now but when they are big enough that they can "play" together, you will appreciate the time that you have to do little things like have a shower or wash up with out interruption LOL! I have found that life doesn't go to plan. As John Lennon said " life is what happens when you're making other plans" It'll be fine and I read your page and it sounds like you have a wonderful man to support you and love his babies! That is so precious. Hang onto his excitement while your going through this very hormonal time. :-) Take care.

athome - 144 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I think while it might seem scary in many ways the are benefits to having you bubs close together. Developmentally they will enjoy similar entertainment, games etc. The will be close together at school and probably even share some friends. It will enable you to return to work faster if you choose to otherwise if you spread having children over a number of years you are taking far greater gaps in your employment. You will be able to use clothing and baby items from one child to the next in close succession. And if you do need to leave your children in care they will have each other for comapny and thats the greatest benefit, otherwise if there is a 3 year age gap they will have to be enrolled in different care or even if you leave them with family one will be at school while the other is still at home. There are lots of benefits so try to relax and enjoy your new family. Hugs.

slg3233 - 144 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Hello, I had my 1st child on October 27th, 2005 and my 2nd child came November 3, 2006. So they are exactly 1 year and 1 week apart. And I became pregnant with my 3rd September of 2007. It's not all bad, some people will have their comments to say when they find out. I had to put up with my families comments along with co workers and everything. Not really rude comments but comments to make you feel like it's wrong. When actually, it's not. I hated it at first because I knew that as I got farther along I wouldn't be able to enjoy the play time with my 1st but I made do with it. I don't regret it. A baby is a gift from God. I have always wanted just 3 kids and the way I see it is I just got all 3 of them a little faster then expected. Although when I conceived my 3rd one I was like if I get pregnant then so be it.

sarahann - 144 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) If it helps you, my friend was pregnant again when her first was 5 months. The way she looked at it was that she won't have to deal with too many jealousy issues when the new baby is born as her first baby will be used to having a sibling in no time and won't even remember when it was just her. You will still have time and all the love in the world for Keegan, and for the new baby. It may not be easy, but I wish you all the best. Believe in yourself and take care.

Rebekahs-mama - 144 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Hi! I'm right there with ya...or close at least! My daughter was born on December 28th and I'm now 5 weeks pregnant again. Although we're crazy and we planned it to happen...even though I'm still breastfeeding! My kids will be just shy of 13 months apart. If you want to chat, just send me a message. I'd love to keep in touch since we're going through the same thing!

lv2bamommy - 144 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Hey there! My brother & I are 9 1/2 months apart. My mom was extremly busy, but loved every minute of it. As for my brother & I, we were extremely close growing up, and we still are. I loved having a sibling that close to my age. I know I have no idea what you are going through, I just thought I would share, and wish you the best of luck!

Debra - 144 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) stay healthy and enlist help from family and friends when you can, especially when your second is born. Come have a look at my VIP site, maybe there is something on there that can help you to stay healthy. If you are breastfeeding your first, you need to be consuming double calories and be on a calcium supplement- which you may want to be on already. Also consider acidophilous to help keep up your immune strength. ALso, check out community centers and try to network with other (young) moms as much as possible! Its easier when you've got lots of support! of course, you have this as a resource as well. Unfortunately you are at your most fertile right after birth as your body knows exactly what to do. I went on MICRONOR a low dose progesterone only pill that is safe for breast feeding. You may want to consider this for after the birth of your next one. I went on it 4 weeks after my baby was due and so far so good! Good luck!
