Getting pg less than 1yr after birth!!

[jaydensmum]

Im very happy to announce that im pg with my 2nd which is due next July!! :D A lot of people that i have told looked at me funny when i told them that im pg again. They were like couldnt you cross your legs, its not fair to Jayden!! :mad: My DH and i think its a blessing to have this baby and its wanted very much. I also dont think it will affect Jayden in a bad way having a brother or a sister! They will be less than 1.5yr apart. Does anyone else have their first two close in age? Has anyone tried to get pg even though you've just had a baby? Has anyone treated you the way that they have treated me about having the babies close together? Im very interested in your replys. :D

Hi Naomi :)

We are also planning to be preggers before K turns one as we to think a close age gap would benefit our babies and my fertility won't last much longer than a few years (apparently. I should never have got preggers in first place :confused: )

I don't give a toss what other people say about it. Its none of their business. Just turn around and say "At least I'm getting some" :p

[Rockett]

Hi Naomi

I just wanted to say congratulations!!!!!!!! :) :)


Don't worry about what people aer saying,it's your life,your choice. :)

[Oscar's mum]

Congratulations, that is wonderful to here.

I personally love the idea of having a close age gap between babies, I think they get along a lot better that way.

[jaydensmum]

Hi Naomi :)

I don't give a toss what other people say about it. Its none of their business. Just turn around and say "At least I'm getting some" :p

LOL!! I should use that comment, that should surely turns some heads!! :D Thanks everyone for your comments, its much appreciated! ;)

Hi jaydensmum - that's fantastic. I'm sure it will be great having 2 little ones growing up together.

Ds is nearly 11 months, and I can't wait to give him a brother or sister. Hopefully we won't have to wait toooooo long.

My mum fell pregnant with me only 3 months after my sister was born :eek: and it was good growing up close in age, although I did get sick of hand-me-downs!

[*Sal*]

Hi Naomi,

I think you are lucky to have babies so close, I wish mine were closer. Courtney starts school in 2 months and Christian has only just turned 2, so I have him at home for a few years yet. It's sadder for me to part them, than the sadness I feel for myself at her 'growing up too fast'. I'm glad to be having another one for company for Christian (as well as many other reasons :) )

It's not true that one misses out because you have siblings for them. My sister has 3 kids already and her eldest is nearly 3, she has a 20 month old and a 5 month old. They'll probably announce another one on the way soon, as I know they want 4. They will grow up together with 2 parents who love them very much, and that is what matters. If they won't mind their own business, tell people your kids are loved and wanted, that's the important thing!

[Sarie]

Congrats!!!
My two are 23 months apart. There are some days when I wish I'd waited (though we didn't have much choice PJ decided for us that he was going to come, he was our little surprise) because at times Nat is still too young to understand that I have to do something for PJ and I can't pick him up right then.
But being close in age they will have someone to play with, PJ is nearly walking now, so in a couple more months they'll be able to run around together!

[whatwasithinking]

When I was in hospital with DD#2 there was a young girl who had her son on her daughters first birthday. He was 4wks early but still not much of a gap.

I also worked with a lady who fell pregnant with her third child when child number two was only 9wks old (she was bfing thought she couldn't get pregnant - be warned girls it does and can happen).

Personally I don't know how I would cope - DH wanted me to pop out child number 2 when DD#1 was 2 but I said no I'll fall pregnant when she is 2.

DD#2 was born exactly 1mth before DD#1 was 3. And I'm stuggling to cope with that age gap.

Anyway good luck and congratulations - hope everything goes well for you :)

[mel04]

Hi, my little girl is turning 1 in 2 weeks, and i am due to have her sister in 6 weeks. They would have been much closer but it took me a few months to fall pregnant again.
I had alot of the "can't you keep your legs crossed" or "you should enjoy your first before having another one". But all my close friends and my family were all great.
I think ppl should mind their own business, we are good parents and there is no reason why we wouldn't be able to enjoy both children. We would have no3 close aswell except i've decided i can't handle being pregnant for a 3rd summer in a row! lol. So there'll probably be 18mnths between no2 + 3.
Good on you for having them close!
Hope you have a wonderful pregnancy!

[jaydensmum]

Thank you everyone for your lovely comments!! ;)

jaydensmum

[Peaceangels]

Congratulations Jaydensmum!

Don't listen to what other's say! Life deal's us with what we can cope with!!

My two are 14.5mths age difference and we wouldn't have it any other way!!
DS1 was 6months old when I fell pg with DS2, quite a shock initially because we took 5yrs to fall pg with #1.

I won't sugar coat it, because it is hard in the beginning (till #2 goes on solids), but ask for help from others and you will be fine. But, now its great, they are great mates and play well together and really miss each other when they are apart.

Easier now for me as they can entertain themselves.! :cool:

Also, make sure you still spend one on one time with Jayden and he will be fine.
I found that including #1 with all aspect's of #2's day kept them happy IYKWIM.

Sorry to ramble on, but when I first came home from hospital with #2, DH walked in holding #2 and I went straight to DS1 for some quality time and gave him a special "big brother" present.

Enjoy! :D

[Jaileth]

Congrats jaydensmum! Don't have much advise for you - just enjoy! :D

Oh - and don't listen to the fuddy duddys! I've come to realize, just from reading (too many) posts :D that someone is always going to have something bad to sad - so ignore them! Or, like kaidensmum said - tell 'em your getting some! :D

[jaydensmum]

Im so glad it worked out for you! :D I hope it does for us as well. I think it will be great for Jayden to have someone to grow up with and become best mates.

jaydensmum

[MariaO]

Congratulations - I think it will be fantastic for your children to be so close in age - especially as they get older.

I never understood the 'unfair on 1st child' bit, second and subsequent children never have Mam and Dad to themselves, no one says it is unfair on them.

[WeThree]

congrats naomi, thats wonderful news!!! :) coops was 9 mths when i got pregnant with tilly, and its been great, busy and sometimes tough, but fun and wonderful as well. its a bit costly at first, having 2 in nappies etc, but that doesnt last for long,and to watch the bond developing between them is just lovely! :)

enjoy!!! :)

[Mummy-2-2]

Congratulations!!!!!

How exciting!

I wouldnt worry about other people, its you whos going to have the pleasure of having your kids grow up at the same time and be at a similar level so when they are older it will be easier to entertain them, they can share secrets and gang up on you etc, sounds like a lot of fun to me!!

I will have 16 months between my two and hope for all of the above (after the hard yakka at the start) but you cant think of it like they are going to be babies forever, they will grow up and be little "twin" friends!!

Good luck!

[Supermum]

Everyone’s an expert on when you should have your children aren’t they??

If you have them less than 2 years apart … IT’S TOO CLOSE
If you have them more than 2 years apart … IT’S TOO MUCH
If you have one child … IT’S NOT ENOUGH
If you have more than one child … IT’S NOT FAIR ON THE FIRST ONE!

We have 15½ months between ours so my son was 6½ months old when I fell pregnant with number 2. I can’t recall a single person being supportive of our choice.

It’s not easy in the beginning, but I would imagine there’s a period of major adjustment regardless of the age difference when you go from one child to two.

Number one is now nearly 3 and number 2 nearly 19 months. They are lovely friends and whilst it was a struggle with two ‘babies’, that stage didn’t last for long. Neither of them miss out on love, affection and attention. We're a family and by definition of the word, we do things together!

Do what you want for you and your family and smile and nod at the experts – they’ll get bored and move onto someone else!

Congratulations on your news Naomi.

[Pixie]

Congratulations again hey I think it's a great thing

We plan or rather don't plan lol after this baby is born we're not going to take any type of prevention in the next baby they'll come when they want and it will be welcomed, we hope to have a large family lets hope they are close together and I am fit enough to do it!

[Tisme]

I have 20 months between my first two and 26 months between my next (I'm due Feb but feel bout ready to burst so that MAY change!!)

I now have a big brother of nearly 4 who will tell me if his sister needs anything and that "I'll do it". I love having the two of them close (would have loved to have them closer but I don't think my mother would have coped!! LOL) And now Ciaran is able to explain to Alana in "KID" terms what is going to happen when the baby comes. He has a set of jobs that he will do (change wet nappies, cuddle, pick him up, play rattles with him) and a list that she can do (change poo nappies, play rattles some times, call for mum when he cries)

The hardest thing i found having them so close was trying to deal with Ciaran in the late stages of my pregnancy. He was always an independant child and so didn't have any problem with the sudden lack of him time. Now that she is a little independant sprite (and I mean that in the NICEST of terms) he is starting to get a little envious of all the things she can do, even though he can to. It is almost as if he has run out of things to teach her ...

I get asked more now than before I had Alana about the age gap between these two, who everyone tells me are twins, and the next. telling me I've taken on a big job. But I don't understand even if they were twins why it would be a big job as they all think they are 3. Surely even that is a decent gap ..... As you said Supermum we can never get anything just right!!!!

Blow them all.!!! Congrats!

[LittleBoysRock]

Congrats Naomi! That is great news!

Hope you have a great pregnancy! Pay no attention to people who say things like that! :)

I can't wait to have my second one!!

[Blessed Mum]

Congratulations Naomi!!!! We are due with number 2 in late Jan and can't wait as we will have had 9.5 year gap :eek: I feel like it was too too long and now we are very keen to be pregnant again before this bub turns 1. Provided the birth treats me well :D lol.

Good on you guys and good luck
Tara :)

[jaydensmum]

Thanks again everyone, your comments have made me feel a whole lot better, cheers!! ;)

jaydensmum

[mygirls]

Firstly CONGRATULATIONS !!!!! :D

Mt first 2 DD's are 18.5 months apart & there is nearly 16 mths between DD 2 & DD#3 so 3 under 3 when i had Savannah ! But it is great i dont feel any of the girls miss out & believe me i know all of those unhelpful remarks :mad: I got it all the time from "how are you going to cope" to that's way too many kids :eek: Well i showed them all !!!!! I cope extremely well & you will to! Dont let anyone get you down you can & will be fine - but hey there is going to be some trying moments (2 in nappies is always a little trying) but nothing you cant handle!!!

[hoping4another]

Jaydensmum- My mum had my older sister and me 13 months apart i tell you from a child point of view it was wonderful growing up with someone so close. We are very close until this day.
13 months later after i was born my brother arrived and we also were close as kids.
But my mum did have 12 children and we were all very close as kids.
I would love to do the same thing when i have kids only the age gap only 2 kids for me.

So Congrats and enjoy.

Wendy

[JATS]

You should hear my MIL going on about how bad is is to have the second baby before the first is in primary school! Glad she dosen't know we are ttc#2!

We aren't telling anyone until I am preggers, except my sister and you ladies.

I can imagine the comments when it happens, if it dosen't take as long to concieve this time (2 yrs last time).

MIL will be livid, friends and family will say we're insane or assume it was an accident, the only people who like our decision to have lots of kids as close as possible are FIL and his new missus.

Bugger the lot of them, we made our family planning decisions before we were even engaged and I'm damned if I'm going to let them talk me out of our well-laid plans!

Those who pi** me off the most are 'friends' who are in worse circumstances than us through noone's fault but their own, (getting themselves into debt, "accidental" pregnancies, relationships on the brink of breakdown and the like) who think they have the right to talk down to us about our decision.

[WeThree]

hey tommy bub, dont you just love family and friends who somehow believe they have some right to have input into your family planning???? some ppl are just so rude, but completly oblivious to it,
like it is any of their business!!! (good luck, 2 close in age is really great! :) )

[jaydensmum]

Sorry tommy bub to hear that the family and friends are giving you a hard time about TTC#2. I cant understand why people put their noses in places they just shouldnt be. Its really no one elses business but the people involved in the process of TTC. Our family's not too bad, they were a bit shocked at first but they are supportive. Its just the outsiders that have absolutely nothing to do with it at all, that know how to bring you down. I hope your family changes and becomes supportive for you and your DH.

jaydensmum

[~Chick79~]

I hear ya Jaydensmum! I am in the same boat as you and am constantly told i am mad! Can you imagine what they would say if i had told them i was trying!!!!! I awlays wanted my kisds close in age so they would always have a playmate...

Who cares what anyone else thinks - it is us that has to do the work!

[jaydensmum]

Thanks Stu's chick. ;) You're so right that we are the ones that do all the work, no one else does it!! :D

jaydensmum

[Anna&JacksMum]

It has been so reassuring reading all the lovely comments to jaydensmum. Thank you everyone for making me feel better about bub #2 and to jaydensmum for starting the chat about it.

I am 35 wks pg with bub #2 and bub #1 is 15 months old. All the comments from friends, strangers, and even family have been negative, stuff like, you'll have your hands full, you're in for a tough time etc.. nothing positive!

So thank you, now I can start maternity leave (yahoo - tomorrow!) felling good and looking forward to the safe arrival of bub #2. :)

[mummyto3]

Congratulations!
There is 22 mths between DD#1 and DS,and 13.5 mths between DS and DD#2.I had 3 under 3 for about 5 weeks.Yeah sure its hard work,but its so rewarding.

What annoys me the most is how people seem to think that they have a right to decide whether you should have more children.The other week i was a bit tired,and MIL says "oh you better not be pregnant again"..umm why not?,what business is it of yours?.FWIW DF is planning on getting the snip soon,so no more kids are on the cards, but still!.

Also we will go to the shops with all 4 kids(including my step son),and people will look at us like we are sex addicts with all the kids we have(especially them all being so young,my step son is 6 but is small for his age).I hate being judged!

[moonblossom]

Well , I had three all within three years. Four years later had another one. Seven years later another one then two boys within 10 months of each other. (the last one was quite a shock i must say, went to the doctor because i wasnt feeling well, with babe a few weeks old and breastfeeding, to my surprise i was pregnant) anyway, i've had three close, and two close many years later and I wouldnt change a thing. They are fantastic company for each other and none of them would want a small family, they have grown up loving one anothers deversity's. Its a pleasure to have two close (or maybe more LOL) so dont feel bad about it or let anyone else make you feel this way.

In my case it truly is the more the merrier, totally my choice and they bring so much joy into my life I could bust. Some can handle a big family, and some find it difficult, you just have to know how much YOU can handle.
Best wishes

[jaydensmum]

Anna and Jacks mum - Im glad that you are getting some reassurance as well! I hope you enjoy your maternity leave and your little bub when it arrives. Good luck with labour and delivery. Let us know how you go with the two of them together, i would be very interested! :D

To everyone else thank you very much for your comments. You make my day everytime i read these posts! ;)

jaydensmum

[sonlou73]

congrats jaydensmum on your pg!

i got pg after 12 months of trying with DS1. my DH and i decided we wouldn't bother with protection after he was born, we wanted another child and we expected it to take awhile plus i was breastfeeding. to our surprise and delight i got pg with DS2 whilst weaning DS1 off the boob, he was 7 months.

DS1 is 17 months, DS2 is 4 weeks and even though its early days i'm coping much better than i thought i would. i did nearly 'lose the plot' 2 weeks ago, that's when i decided to express, so my DH gets up once during the night, which has made life for me alot easier.

DS1 has been a good brother to his 'bubba darcy', he gives him kisses and has been on his best behaviour (with a bit of help from the wiggles! bad me!).

enjoy your pg and switch off any bad negativity.

[maybe1more]

Jaydens mum, you go girlfriend!!! I think its great!! If i had it my way i would of done the same thing! My ds is 28 months and im still hounding my dp for bub number 2. Have them close in age i think is great as they grow up to be great friends and the play together well, like a friend of my said to me, "if your at home with 1 you might as well be at home with 2". Best of luck, and Congratulation again :D

[jaydensmum]

Thanks for the congratulations!! ;)

jaydensmum

[BlessedWithBlue]

Hi! Congrats!!!!!

My 2 are 16 months apart, and personally i wouldn't have it any other way.
I was absolutely dreading the birth of ds#2 'cause i had a few people say "i feel sorry for you when that next baby comes along, you're not gonna know what hit you" :eek: How WRONG they were lol. Not as bad as i thought it would be, once i got them in a routine i wondered what i was freaking out about in the first place. ;)

[Busymumof3]

Hey Naomi,

I had 3yr between 1 & 2 but only 19mths between 2 & 3. Don't worry and ignore those who are negative about it! Watching my kids and having big and small age gaps I find they all get on with each other the same and love each other the same and include each other in play and so on!

All the best for your pregnancy hun!

[IAdoreYou]

Congratulations! We plan on trying for # 2 on Brookes 1st b'day :D

[mummycloud]

Congratulations!

My brother and I are 1.5 years apart. I grew up hating his guts, but I doubt it was the age gap, it was more of the fact that he's a w****r...LOL

As long as DH is happy and supportive and you are happy too, then it's terrific and anyone who disagree's with 2 adults decision is just jealous IMO

Good Luck! :D

[Me]

I say good on you Naomi!

We will probably have a pretty close gap between our 2 - mind you DD isn't even 6 days old yet so it's still a bit early for us to talk over these things. I don't think there is anything wrong with a close age gap. When I was in labour there was another lady who had just delivered her second and her first is just 10 months old! each to their own I say.

Good luck, let us know how you go with the 2 of them.

[enchanted21]

HI NAOMI

Hi ,
I am due to have my Baby boy on April 1st.My Daughter was born on 25th March 05.There will be a gap of 12months 1 week if all goes to plan..I loving the small Gap..I hope they will be good friends.I have another daughter whom s turning 6 in April and she cant wait.She is starting school this year and is such a little mother..I think either a close gap is good or a larger 1 say 4-5 yrs in between as the jealousy stage has passed..My 6 yr old is very independant and loving sharing and helping with my baby im sure she will be the same with the new bubs..
Good luck to you all
Kristy:)

[babycrazy]

Hi :o
I love having babies close in age. I have 6. Ally(9) and Imogen(8) are 10 months apart and complete opposites - and there was no sibling rivalry because they dont remember not having each other. They are best friends and worst enemies! Then I have a 5 year gap which is too long but in some ways good because they understand what is going on and aren't jealous of the baby. Joshua (3) and Lauren (2) are 11 months apart. Then I have twins (8wks) Caitlyn & Kristina. Even my 2 year old thinks they are fabulous - but the trick is to make them feel like a big part of it all, getting them to "help" like fetching bibs and putting dummies in - makes them feel important (without making them do it - just asking and if they say yes thats great if they say no thats ok too). I get cross at people who think I dont pay my children enough attention just because I have more than 3!!! I think doing what is right for you is what is important - although I do have lots of assumptions that I do family daycare "because they cant ALL be mine!"
It will be hard work though - I couldn't do it without the help of the childcare centre a few afternoons a week for the toddlers but hey - I don't have any immediate family and my hubby's family are pretty useless so I just see childcare as an expensive extension to my family!LOL:p I'm already clucky again thinking about TTC #7:eek: But might wait until the colicky phase is over first:rolleyes:
Raylee

[our little treasures]

my two are 1.5yrs apart I hated the comments of "it had to be an accident...":mad:
I wanted them 15mnths apart but due to breast feeding I just didn't get it that way.. Now we want a 2 yr break as we put both of them to sleep by laying with or rocking and that gets draining but I wouldn't change it thats how we want it.. I also like playing with both of them! Also I had a very hard labour and get very sick in pregnancy so want that break to be myself really.. lol But 2 years will be a good enough gap and then we will have 2 close together again as we want 4- 6 and I don't want to be older than 30 for at least the 1st 4!! :rolleyes:

[amy&caitlin]

Hi Naomi,
You won't believe my girl Caitlin was born 24th March, 2005 and im due with baby 2 Early September.
I also have not had many positive responses to being pregnant, even though it was planned.
My biggest concern is all the extra things that will be needed. Caitlin will still be in her cot so i'll need another a double pram is needed another car seat and i'm sure the list goes on.
What sort of pram are you planning on using?
i'm thinking of getting a Phil & Ted E3.
What sort of car seat are you thinking of?
i'm thinking of getting Caitlin a maxi Rider and baby has her seat.
Hows your pregnancy going i'm starting to feel sick now so it will be interesting how i handle it.
Anyway CONGRATULATIONS and GOODLUCK
From Amy

[ella + 2]

Hi i havea 13 month old daughter and 24weeks pregnant with TWINS. There will be 16 months max between my 3.

When we told people wewere pregnant again we got the same thing " i didnt htink you would have them that colse, was it planned, why couldnt u wait longer" they all gota rude shock when i turned around and said "this pregnancy was planned". I then found out it was twins and all the comments started again "im glad its u not me, well that will teach u etc etc". Honestly im glad its me not them aswell.

U learn to jsut ignore everyone, i have been remembering who has said whatthough cause after they are born im sure everyonewill change their minds nad want to cuddle and spoil them but i will make them suffer forwhat they said. If they think im stupid for having these 3 so lcose together why should they get the fun part of the cuddles?

[Tan-mumof3]

Hi Congrats!

I have 21 months between my 2. I fell pregnant when tahlia was 1. I think it is great to have a close gap my 2 get on so well together they love each other sooo much and are the best of friends. Don't listen to the negative comments as long as your happy :D

[Di-78]

mine are 14 months apart and I wouldn't change it for the world. About to have #3 after 5 1/2 yr gap then I would like #4 to be close also.
We packed up the house and spent a year travelling in a 14 foot caravan around australia with a 17 mth old and a 3 mth old. Boy did we get some comments. I was only 21 at the time.
My pair are complete opposites also (even in looks) I think that is what makes them get along better. There is a competetive streak (especially when it comes to riding motorbikes) but never any rivalry or jealousy as they have always had each other since they can remember and weren't stuck in any routines etc.
I was also breastfeeding and on the pill.
Everyone has their own opinions and sometimes I wish they would keep them to themselves but then the world wouldn't be such an interesting place to live would it!
I have even had people ask me if they were to the same father!!!! WHAT THE?????
As long as they have plenty of love.
Mine are both at school this year and I am looking forward to some time with the bub.

[ZicosMum]

Hi I am new to Bub hub, I have been thinking about trying for No2 in June/July my first born would be about 9 months, I am not sure if this is enough distance between the two, any ideas on how to decide or anyones opinion?

[toms1]

Hi Jaydensmum,

Firstly congrats that is wonderful news. My daughter is turning 1 on 6/2/06, & I am due in march, so there will be a 13month age gap. I too am nervous as hell. I'm struggling now cause i'm so exhausted, but we're very happy the age gap is so close. i'm worried more that no.1 will get neglected a little when no.2 comes along. i know that's just my paranoia, but i feel i can't do everything i should be able to do with my little one as i'm waddling everywhere.

Unfortunately, you can't stop people from saying things - i learnt that when i was pregnant with no.1. all our family have been happy for us, it's mainly just acquaintances & strangers who'll say rude things. People who have no decorum & say rude things are usually just jealous, otherwise they'd be happy for you.

[Heidi]

Firstly congrats to you and hubby,

This is a very exciting time in your lives to be awaiting the birth of your next family member, to hell with what other people think!!! your the ones taking care of the babies not them. I had 3 kids in under 3 years (and I am 26) so imagine peoples comments, some of them are out of jealousy I think. I get people stare in amazement in the shops and plenty just can't help but make sarcastic comments which I simply shrug off. I have a wonderful little family and it irritates some to think they just couldn't cope with the hectic work load!!!!!! I am up for it and read all these other womens' stories you are not alone.

Take care and best of luck with bubba, keep us posted...........

[MrsMiggins]

Congratulations jaydensmum!!!!

There is only 17 months between my older brother & myself (yep! I was an accident!) and we are both fine!

I can't wait to have bub #2, even though my first bub is not quite 4 months old! I turn 30 on Wednesday (:eek:) and DH will be 39 this year, so we agreed that big age gaps just aren't going to work for us if we want to have a few kids. We talked about it recently & agreed to start actively trying again when DD is about 9 or 10 months old.

Our Dr advised us that it is not healthy to fall PG again within 12 months of having a baby, but I've done a bit of reading on this & if you eat well, take any necessary vitamin supplements & generally just look after yourself, you shouldn't have any problems.

We are not currently on birth control, as it took us so long to fall PG with #1, I am hesitant to return to hormonal birth control methods & barrier methods are such a huge inconvenience!

If we were to fall PG again before we really "planned" it, I have to say I would be very happy & excited!

[Jasmine]

I am pregnant with our second. Joshua will be 19 months when the next bub is born and I can't wait. A friend just had her second in November and only had 15mths between the two and she said it is a challenge but great. I ahve copped so slack from my husbands family having mine close together because they kept 3 years between each of their three. I figure you do what's right for you.

[Abi'smum]

Hi all

Im with you guys, i am a new mum to Abi 3.5 months, and DH and I are planning to start trying again in early october, so they will be about 21 months apart. it took me all of 3 weeks to fall preggo last time so I dont reckon I will have to wait very long this time. I can't wait to have another one. This one is so much fun.:)
