I just had a baby 3 mos ago and pregnant already again. Is this safe?

Question

I'm 35 yrs old and now a mother of 3. My age put me at high risk with my 3month old, she was 1 month pre-mature but healthy.
I just discovered that I'm pregnant AGAIN! I don't feel well at all, and don't think I've recovered yet from my newest addition.

My husband and I are concerned about possible health risks from being pregnant so soon after just being pregnant. Help!!!

Answer 1

nah, you are fine.

Answer 2

You're fine. I was pregnant 1 1/2 months after my first was born. I had a great pregnancy. You probably won't be as sick with this one because you're body hasn't had time to become normal again.
As for the criticism from above, you should be excited to have another addition to your family. Yes it will be rough for a couple of years, but all of the fun you will have later will be worth it. I think that some people that answer questions are in a mindset that being pregnant is a bad thing. They must be high school or college students.

Answer 3

I have 2 that are 5 months apart but i have a friend who got pregnant 3 months later.She a preemie born at 24 weeks believe it or not! (she is healthy by the way) well she got pregnant 3 months later and her next baby was just fine.And she is 37. You probably havent recoverd from your latest addition but i think you'll be fine. Good luck and know this has happened to other people me included but dont worry just rest when you can and await the arrival of your next miracle.

Answer 4

Anytime someone has a pregnancy within one year of a prior pregnancy it makes them a higher risk pregnancy. With your age and the previous premature birth, that makes you a really risky candidate for a safe uncomplicated pregnancy. Doesn't mean there is no hope, but it could possibly be a difficult haul. Take care of yourself...get lots of rest, eat Healthily and most important of all, get to your doctor and get her advice and help. Good luck! In my opinion, 35 is not really that old to be having babies. Your back-to-back pregnancies will make it difficult on you because you have no recovery time between the two plus you have an infant to care for. Enlist all the help you can from family and friends. Good luck to you. I hope all goes well.

Answer 5

hi there well i am actually in the same boat as you. i am only 23 and having baby number 2 but my son is only 3 months old and i am 5 weeks prego! i talked to my doctor today actually becuase i was concerned about the same things and she said that everything should be ok, because i am not breastfeeding my body has had time to get the hormones back on track, but if you are breastfeeding you may need more vitamins... but dont pay attention to those people that have nothing better to do than put you down and tell you that you should have been more careful!!! they dont know our business! :)

Answer 6

Back in the "old days," it was normal to have a baby a year. My sister has two children that are 10 months apart. But it is tiring to have a new baby and be expecting another. Try to get as much rest as you can, and get a mother's helper to give you a hand with your last child as you advance through your pregnancy. When they are much older, it will be fun to have siblings so close together. My niece and nephew that are ten months apart are in their 30s now, and are best friends!

Answer 7

Physically, yes, you can probably take it. Mentally, I'm not so sure. You are still so exhausted with a 3-month-old baby to care for day and night, as well as two other children- now add the additional exhaustion and stress that comes with another pregnancy, not to mention the idea that you will someday have to care for a 1-year-old and a newborn at the same time. Can you handle it? Honestly? If you think you can, then great!!! If you honestly don't think you can, and you think it will be unfair to your other kids to even try, then don't let anyone make you feel bad about whatever you decide to do, if you catch my drift. Good luck either way!

Answer 8

definite you may get pregnant 3 weeks after giving beginning, my pal have been given pregnant whilst her lady baby became 2 weeks previous, she had 2 toddlers 9 months aside and in the event that they have been born interior the comparable year they might have been interior the comparable type at school. Her daughter (my daughters pal) became born in first week of August and her son became born in might here year. They have been pronounced like twins. I had to "ouch" once I examine your question too as i became in advantageous condition for no longer something for a minimum of three months once I had my son, he became 10lb in weight and over sixty 3.5cm long (25 inches), I had a very good kind of stitches i could no longer sit down good for weeks. So intercourse to me became thoroughly and completely out of the question as neither my physique nor my ideas might have entertained that. nonetheless good success to you, i'm hoping you get the end result you elect x

Answer 9

I was 2 weeks pregnant at my 6-weeks check up. I had low iron and had to take supplements and shots towards the end of my pregnancy. I wouldn't trade my special little man for anything, he just turned 17! Take great care of yourself and eat well. Everything will be fine!!

Answer 10

Typically I would say no it isn't that big of a deal. I know they recommend waiting longer for you body's sake but it is okay. But with just having a preemie your body may be a little more sensitive. I would have a serious talk with your doctor. Has he confirmed your pregnancy or was it just a test. Cuz that could also be a reaction of you body

Answer 11

People have had pregnancies like this many times and been fine. But of course, anything untoward can be tough for someone older. But 35 is not old. Many people have kids well into their 40's.

I suggest you go ask your doctor!
