Hun you are NOT the first person in the world to have one back to back and won't be the last. My sister had hers all like that she was VERY fertile! She has had 4 now running from 2 weeks to 3 years! The ONLY problem that she had was with this last one she never let her self have time to heal and she started to hemorrhage really bad during labor. They TOLD her NO MORE for a while! She does FINE with all her babies. BEST WISHES

I got pregnant with my 3rd baby when my 2nd baby was only 4 months old. So I know what your going through. For the first responder, I was on birth control when I got pregnant, it don't work for everyone so don't assume she wasen't using any kind of protection. Now the most important thing right now it to get the very most nutrician you can. Your body is depleted from just giving birth so you need to eat the very best foods you possibly can. Get some of those ensure drinks from the store and drink one a day along with your prenatal viatamine. I would also add a omega 3 supplement and an extra foilc acid. You have an increased chance of becoming anemic. I am not going to lie, it is tuff being pregnant and trying to raise an infant at the same time. But I actualy discovered once they were born and both toddler age, it was much easier because they were doing about the same things at the same time. They are now 3 and 4 and sisters just don't get any closer then the two of them. Another thing that is greaqt is that they entertain themselves and don't depend on you to do it alllll the time! I have an older daughter who is 9 and when all I had was her she drove me nuts because I was all she had for entertainment. It is not going to be easy, but hang in there, it really isn't that bad. Just make sure you take really really good care of yourself right now. Good luck hun, and God Bless.

It will be difficult at first (my sister has a similar age gap between her children) but as the children get a little older life will become easier. I have 6 year gap between my children, 11 and 5 and its hard finding activities that both want to do, I wish I'd had my children closer together. My sisters children are both at a similar level and she now as more freedom, I on the other hand still have quite a young child who needs the attention. Im sure you will be fine, you are not the first woman to be in this postion and you wont be the last, that is for sure. Just make sure you dont get caught again after the birth of your second child. Take all the help thats offered to you, join local groups etc enjoy your children they soon grow up. Good luck and congratulations

Well, this is not necessarily a bad thing. As long as you have a partner and family to support you and help you manage, you will be fine. It's not a disaster even though it won't be easy. Remember children are a blessing.
Consult your doctor immediately if you are nursing your 4 month old, eat for three (plenty of vitamins and nutritious food) and try to relax before you have two on your hands!

I personally think that is wonderful. My husband's family was amazingly close because of this. there were 4 kids and all were born VERY close together like your case. They always were the best of friends growing up and always shared the same friends. There was always a party going on - friends and family everywhere. It was great for them and they are still very close (all married now). Me on the other hand had one brother who was two years older than me. Yes we are very close now, but growing up he wanted nothing to do with a little annoying sister. I want my kids to be able to have the closness as they grow up.
as far as getting it all over with and hardness on your body, when are you going to train and run a marathon? when you are 40? be healthy and fit and run the race of motherhood while your body can take it and recover the fastest. They will entertain themselves constantly and you will be thrilled with them being able to counsel eachother in highschool rather than being left to who knows what kind of friends to give advice. Good luck!!

your question kind of made me chuckle at first....just the way it's worded.....anyway....
Try not to stress.....you will make due with what you have. i'm sure it's stressful to think about, but by the time your second baby is born you're first one will be almost a year old! so, it's not too bad.
just go with it....you guys will figure it all out as you go. that's all the advice i can really give you.
also, check out parenting magazines and books for mulitple kids close together. i'm sure amazon.com would have SOMETHING to help.
take care.

You dont need advice bad, you need good advice.
Sounds like there was someone on your boat at least once.
At least your kids will be close in age.

If you are breasting your 4 mouth old.... stop because you may endanger it's health. Everything else is nice as loon as makes you happy. It is not big problem. Just love your baby inside you and you will solve easier problems you are going to face
