the first pregnancy does count. why are you having so many pregnancies at such a young age. sorry to be nosey, but you need to live life a little more before trying to teach another what you have barely learn't or haven't even learn't yet. i would suggest going to your dr. and getting a confirmation of pregnancy and they will decide if you are a high risk pregnancy becuse of the first childs brith defects. birth control isn't 100% so i would also inform your dr. of this too. many women have delivered healthy infants after concieving while on birth control. get checked to rule out any problems, the sooner they are detected the sooner something can be done.
my children are only 12 months apart(planned that way) and my cousins were only 10 months apart! she was told you cant get pregnant while you re breast feeding! good luck!!

Don't worry about the closeness of the births. Technically, all you need to worry about is your prenatal vitamins because your body is still low from your last pregnancy, otherwise your fine! And yes, you poke out sooner in subsequent pregnancies because your abs have been stretched already and you haven't had enough time to regain muscle tone. Eat well, but be careful of weight gain as you could become overweight quickly. And yes your 1st pregnancy would have an impact on your body. A great pregnancy book is " The Everything Pregnancy Book." I used it more than the "What to Expect When You are Expecting." Also check out the website www.pregnancyweekly.com, that's a great source for info too. Good luck! And PS Birth control (if it's the pill) only works when you take it at the same hour every day. I got pregnant on the patch... so that's my opion of that method.

First and foremost. Go see an OB/GYN. Prenatal care is the best thing you can do for your fetus.
I don't think there is any way for you to get a 7 month old ready for another baby. She's too young to understand. It's too late to ask if it's safe to have them together. But, it sure won't be easy on you or them. Since, you had your last baby very recently, yes it is normal to show early in this pregnancy.
Remember, when you get frustrated and mad, and you will, trust me, put the babies in their cribs and regain your composure before you do something you will regret.

Does not matter if you were on birth control or not... have the children you want and you can afford.
Yes, you are on your 3rd pregnancy. If a doctor were to ask you (after this baby) you would say you have been pregnant 3 times and carried 2 to term.
Have two babies is usually not hard on the children at all, but can be trying on the mother. So nap when your kids nap (if at all possible).
Different people start to show at different stages and each pregnancy is different. Listen to your doctor and try not to worry.
I also lost a baby and this can cause you to be overly concerned. Try to be happy and think "happy thoughts".

Okay. first of all congrats on not having any symptoms...morning sickness sucks! Yes it's normal to show earlier with subsequent pregnancies, but 5 weeks seems really early. It's safe to have babies close together, but you will have you're work cut out for you!! Technically you have had three pregnancies and (hoping all goes well) will have delivered 2 at full term.

Yes it is normal on some women. On my last 2 pregnancies i showed early. On the very last i was showing the first month. By 3rd month i looked 5-6 months pregnant. The more pregnancies you have the sooner you usually start showing i wouldn't worry about it too much even though it is frustrating i know. Good luck

every thing you stated is normal. the first one does count. I dont advise stopping sex, but I would advise you to speak to your doctor about your birth control method. I would also suggest your partner use some form of control( condom, salve.etc.) Weather or not you are having them too close, is up to you. Personally I would think eighteen months to twenty four months the best.
good luck and may God bless you

I dont see no where in her question where she was asking if YOU felt she should have sex or not...... Stop judging her and answer her question.
I dont see a problem with have two babies close to each other. There should be anything wrong with that! However, you really have to prepare yourself. The cost of raising them is gonna be expensive....your gonna have to buy twice the amount of pampers and your gonna need twice the amount of energy and patience!
Everyone don't have symptoms. I was perfectly fine, I was just tired all the time. All I wanted to do was sleep!
Good Luck and God Bless!!!

its normal to start showing earlier on in later pregnancy then in the first ones. you should ask your doctor thought because when you start shoeing so early it could be twins! I don't think they is anything really you can go to get your 7 month old ready. they are just to young to understand. good luck

Use Birth control. Planned Parenthood or your OB can help you select the proper Birth Control.
