It takes quite awhile to build back up your nutrtional stores after having a baby. It also takes time for your body to heal.
The best advice I could give is to take EXTRA care of yourself. Be sure you're getting a healthy, balaced diet. Supplement when necessary. Drink pleanty of fluids and get lots of rest.
If you had a c-section, conceiving again so quickly could pose special problem. You'd want to see a doc right away to discuss them.
If you are breastfeeding, you can breastfeed through pregnancy. SOme women experience a drop in supply and must supplement. Otherwise, it's genearally safe. See kellymom.com for more info.
Good luck!

When my son was 8 weeks old I found out I was pregnant again. I was exhausted more than anything with the baby and pregnancy to deal with.
You are young so you'll be able to physically cope a lot better (in theory!) and once the new baby has arrived your baby girl will be walking and a lot more independent (as far as a tot can be!)
I'm glad I had them so close together as they are now 8 + 7 and play quite well and even though it's boy + girl, they get on (mostly ok).
You'll get through, I sometimes wonder how I did, but you just have to eh?!
Good luck and TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF!

I had the same thing happen to me. I was pregnant with #2 with a 3 month old. She was fine. 11 months later I found out I was pregnant with #3. I had a baby in 2001, 2002, and 2003. All of them were fine. I was also young with all my children. I think you will be okay. I was scared to death just like you. I have actually enjoyed them being so close. They play together. I was an only child for 4 years and then bam my mom had my sister. I disliked her until we were teenagers. Then about the time we got close I moved out. So I think having children close together is a good idea.

My last two children were 11 months apart. The only side effects I got were extreme fatigue (for obvious reasons) and some depression. Otherwise I had a healthy baby and a safe delivery. Good luck and try to get some help with your 4 month old so that you can get some rest.

My son is 7 months old and I`m 17 weeks pregnant!! Your not alone...My doctor explained to me that there wasn`t really "side effects" from getting pregnant so soon after having a baby but you do have to make sure to eat well and drink plenty of water...So far everything is going along well with me and my doctor isn`t worried at all....Honestly were not the first women to have babies right after one another and we definitely won`t be the last!!! Congrats to you and good luck!!
Btw..My 11 year old daughter is named Amber!!

When you can't get pregnant, and things look good from the outside, it can be extremely frustrating.
The first thing to consider is how long have you been trying. About 80% of couples will get pregnant after six months of trying, and about 90% will be pregnant after 12 months of trying to get pregnant. Anyway this is a great methid to get pregnant fast https://tr.im/f87e9

Now everyone can cure infertility using this natural remedy http://pregnancyhelps.info
infertility can run in the family and one of the first things the doctor asks you when you go to a fertility clinic is your family history regarding cases of infertility or other reproductive issues.
If infertility is caused by genetic disorder then it's not unusual that one of the kids (your mom) doesn't have it and another does (your aunt).
two months of trying is still to early to be concerned about the fact that you might be infertile and it's also quite early to go to a fertility specialist. Go to a regular Obgyb to get a closer insight and see what ways there are are to improve your fertility rate.
Also remove alcohol, caffeine and cigarettes from your life because they might influence your chances too. Stress is also a risk factor when it comes to infertility.

hi, i got pregnant when my first son was only 6 weeks old ( birth control hadnt kicked in yet ) and i was just about to turn 20. at first i was VERY upset and scared. i couldnt believe that i was pregnant again right after having a baby, i was worried bout my body and the effects it would have on it. i was concered bout the baby i just had not having enuf time with us before having another baby, and how this would effect him. umm.........i had all sorts of things running thru my mind, just as im sure you do but for me it didnt turn out bad! my body handled it fine, of course i was more tired cuz i had a newborn and pregnant again but i didnt have any complications. i did get alot of strechmarks cuz i went from being little to big, had the baby and lost some weight, to gaining it again! as far as when the baby was born, when we brought him home we tried to make sure to give our son plenty of attention to help with the jealousy and of course there was some jealousy but it wasnt extreamly bad, i think the jealousy is worse the longer you wait! he adjusted to the baby really well and got very attached to him. they became inseperatable as time went on and now they are 10 and 9 and are still very close to one another!!!!!

I have read there is an increased risk of birth defects if there is less than two years between pregnancies, but since you are young, you automatically have a lesser chance of birth defects.
The reason for the increased risk may be the mom's nutritional depletion, so I would try extra hard to take good quality prescription prenatal drugs. Even more importantly, eat lots of protein, dairy products, eggs, fruits and veggies and whole grains. Get lots of rest and don't eat junk food.
Good luck!

Infertility can be caused by a huge number of factors: hormone imbalance, Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, Endometriosis, Anovulatory Cycles, physical blockage, inadequate hormone production, short luteal phase, lack of lutenizing hormone, high levels or prolactin, and many others.

Poor nutrition often plays a major role, as does exposure to toxins. Age plays less of a role before menopause than was originally thought. While there are many wonderful naturally minded fertility specialists out there, in many cases it is not possible for them to test for and address any of these possible underlying issues.
