Q: Pregnancies close together!

I had my first son 7 months ago. And now I'm almost positive I am pregnant again(period almost a week late, testing in the morning) Have any of you ladies had any babies this closes together? Were there any complications cause by the pregnancies being so close? Any advice for taking care of one baby when pregnant with another?

My first born was 4 months when i found out i was pregnant again. They are 3 & 4 now and have birthdays 12months 12 days apart lol. It was physically more tiring as i had a child to look after as well, but u will be fine. They will prob keep a closer eye on u especially if u voice ur concerns hun. As for critisism... sod them. Its ur life and ur child and they will be excited about the new baby when it arrives. Congratulations by the way x

Thanks ladies! Makes me feel better knowing that it all worked out for you all. I am sure it will work out for us too. My fear now is the judgement of our families since its so close together I know there will be comments behind our backs and in front of us about it. I am not looking forward to dealing with that.

I got pregnant with my daughter when my son was 7 months old. They are 16 months apart. They are now 3 and 5. They are two peas in a pod, very close. I was absolutely terrified when I found out. I cried for an entire week. I didn't know how I would survive. I was breastfeeding my son and continued to do so until one month before his sister was born. I had zero complications. It was the easiest pregnancy and delivery. When she was born my son was still practically a baby. He napped twice a day so I did as well. I was tired but other than that it all worked out just fine. I understand your concerns but for us it was the best thing that could have happened. I have never seen siblings love each other the way they do. Good luck sweets! It will all workout.
