We're only planning on having the one, so there would be a massively overwhelmed freak-out.
-
There's no medical reason not to have sex that early if there's no tearing/hemorrhaging. I imagine she was pretty sure she wouldn't be physically able to get pregnant quite so soon - the Irish twins I know were "I was told I couldn't get pregnant while X!" (while breastfeeding, before the first period, etc.)
I would be freaked out if I had Irish twins, and I'm still trying to figure out how we should prevent having them (mini-pill? condoms? NFP WON'T work...)
-
@cvbee: lol yup same here. We're 3 months pp and still haven't DTD. So it's not physically possible lol
I can't believe she ovulated RIGHT after birth, that is CRAZY! Even if she wasn't breastfeeding, it's still... wow...
@jessiejo17: AGREED.
I would have a REALLY REALLY hard time with it. We are barely getting by financially and definitely couldn't afford an upgrade to a 3 bedroom and MORE baby stuff (if it was a girl, if we had another boy it'd be easier!). So I would be worried about providing for our little one. But I would be excited because I believe every baby is wonderful gift from the Lord, I would need a lot of help/support though and I know I would get that from my husband, mom and sister.
-
@dc yoga bee: omg. that is seriously awful. how cruel and mean. I would seriously unfriend anyone who dared talk to me like that!
-
I would cry and freak out. This is SO not a situation I would want to be in. The first thing I discussed w/ my doctor at my 6-week checkup was birth control methods!
-
If I had gotten knocked up again after DS I probably wouldn't have freaked too much.
This time I would lose my freaking mind! I don't even know if I want anymore kids after learning of what a "high needs" baby is. I seriously would cry LOTS!... And then of course deal & get happy. Lol
-
@skibobrown: Birth control options were at the top of my list at my first pp visit too...I did NOT want to get pregnant right away...not only for myself (adjusting to being a new mom) but also for LO...it would be so hard to take care of an infant while going through morning sickness, etc.
-
Oh I would totally cry too.
-
I think I would also be worried about the viability of the pregnancy when my body hasn't had that much time to recover from giving birth.
-
@Coco Bee: lol, yeah, not physically possible here either, it took a while to get back in the saddle again
The day we brought him home (early January) we started discussing when to go for #2, but I really didn't want to give birth twice in 2012!! We'll re-visit the discussion again towards the end of the summer. I want to enjoy babyhood as much as possible and not feel crappy while he is small and nurse a little longer...
-
@lemondrop: yup same here. Partly because our son has commandeered our bed (the little stinker!), who would've thought that a 3 month old would need a queen size bed LOL!! (yup, he sleeps on it even if we're not there)
-
Heh... my first thought was - "Awesome! Wait... no."
-
I would freak out. This probably isn't a popular opinion, but I think we would seriously entertain termination. We want to have 2-3 kids, but I had such a rough pregnancy complications-wise I think it would be seriously hazardous to my health to do it again right away.
-
I would cry!
-
@Coco Bee: awww, I can just imagine this tiny baby spread eagle in the middle of a huge bed and you guys huddled up in the crib. Hang in there, things will sort themselves out!
-
When my second LO was around 6 months, I felt a little bit of nausea one morning reminiscent of being pregnant. I freaked out and immediately when to get a home test. It was negative, thank God! I made my the appointment with my ob to have the iud put it right after the scare.
-
I would cry. I puke for the entire time I'm pregnant, I can't imagine doing that with only a month break.
-
This happened to my mother. My brother and I are actually born 9 and a half months apart. I was in hospital for months after I was born though so in my parents case it was really just a need to be close to each other because they were told I wasn't going to make it. It was apparently one of those "one time is all it takes" things.
They both freaked but did such an amazing job. I have the utmost respect and awe for my mother. I'm 33 weeks pregnant with my first and I honestly have NO idea how she did it.
-
Oh lord. I would shoot myself. One unplanned pregnancy followed immediately by another? Oh heck no.
In reality, I would cry.... a lot.
-
I read the article about Tori Spelling and do feel bad that she feels she needs to give her husband. She didn't do it for them.
I think I would seriously freak out. Being pregnant has been no fun. I cannot imagine being pregnant for almost 19 months straight! Especially with three kids at home, one brand new. That being said, her situation is different b/c she can afford nannies.
@dcyogabee that is horrible. I feel bad for your friend but also think she might need to consider some new friends of her own.
-
I would probably, laugh, cry, and then laugh some more, and then cry some more . . . This pg has not been easy, or a whole lotta fun. I can't imagine doing it again right away and not loosing my mind a few times along the way. *jinkies*
-
In all honesty, I would terminate the pregnancy. Getting pregnant that soon after wouldnt be fair or good for me, LO, or my husband. Which is why I'm getting my IUD back asap, and no funny business before it's in and working!
-
@mediagirl: haha yes!! If I could afford all the help money can buy, I'd totally be popping out more
-
@dc yoga bee: That makes me so sad for your friend. Good for you for standing up and defending her!
@eeh: Well, he left his ex-wife for Tori. I'm sure that's always lurking in the back of her mind. Definitely some confidence issues there.
I would freak out, for sure.
-
I read this earlier this week, but didnt comment. I WOULD FREAK THE EFF OUT!!!! I'm freaking about having children after this first pregnancy... let alone, finding out that I'm preggs a MONTH after L&D!? I WOULD SERIOUSLY GO BONKERS!
