Answer 1

You will be fine. Your body will adjust itself naturally to the new pregnancy.

Answer 2

It is perfectly possible for you to have another baby so soon. Your body will cope. Obviously it will be hard work but it is no matter what the age gap is! Siblings that are close in age often get along better. You need to think about wether you can live with whatever decision you make. Have a heart to heart with your hubby about how you really feel. It's your body and therefore more your decision than his. Don't rush into anything though, you need time to make the right choice. You are bound to be nervous every mum is nervous to some extent when they are expecting another child. I have three at home and am expecting again. My youngest is 14 months. I am nervous because I know I will find pregnancy tiring, and a new baby will mean I have less energy for my other children. However I know that those difficult times don't last very long and the enjoyment you get from having a large family more than makes up for the hard work. I hope whatever decision you make it is the right one for you. Good luck. x

gosh Nina, u have my sympathy. I had a 5 y/o,thought I couldn't get preg any more and then bam.When she was 6 mos and on my hip found out I was preg again. She was big girl and I had to have c-sec. It was very hard needless to say. Third girl was 8 weeks early. I had to get the middle off the bottle so that wouldn't be a prob. wasn't about to do bottles for 2 lol Had 2 in diapers for a long time. but I would never consider not having a child because it would be alot of work. I have always been healthy and gave my all to my 3 girls even though it was so very hard. My hub worked out of town 75% of the time and was no help. We divorced after 20 miserable years and that was the best decision I ever made.They are all grown happy successful with children of their own and I am extremely proud of the way they turned out. It just takes determination and willpower and the right attitude.. the little engine that could..... can't doesn't get you far . The best of luck to you

Answer 4

I was in the same situation. My daughter was 9 months old when we found out we were having another child. I was scared, exited and nervous. But almost 7 years later, it was the right decision. My kids are close. My son and daughter play with each other, go everywhere together. And sure, there are a few spats here and there, but what child doesn't argue with the sibling.

As far as your body is concerned, think about it this way. Many years ago, our parents and grandparents had 10 kids all back to back, less than a year apart. They survived. Plus if your body wasn't ready to get pregnant it wouldn't have happened.

Still it is your choice.

Answer 5

You have to think about what you can emotionally deal with in the long run. Yeah, being pregnant that fast is real tough, but if you terminate, you will still have to deal with the hormones and the physical implications of what the termination causes, as well as living with looking at the baby you have years down the road and knowing that you terminated its brother or sister. There are ups and downs to having kids that close together, I have a 6year old and a 5 year old and they are best of friends, but they also fight sometimes. It all comes down to what you can live with doing, and nobody here can tell you that, we all have our own opinions and such about abortion, but its all up to you in the long run. In my opinion, I say keep it and tough up and deal with it, but I consider myself made of pretty stern stuff and I can cope with a lot more that most folks. Personally, abortion would be emotionally devestating to me, especially if the first child grew up to be a total monster. i would always wonder if the next baby could have been the child of my dreams.

Answer 6

you are going to be tired for the first trimester. And your baby is going to seem heavy because well he is...my son is 9 months old tomorrow and the kids feels like he weighs a ton....but I have to tell you ...it will be wonderful. You are so blessed...how absolutely wonderful. I have children close in age and I love love love it. They play together, they do things together, learn together and its such a joy. My two olderst are 15 months apart and they even potty trained together, and now they are 11 and 10 and they are so close. By the way, my last pregnancy, I got pregnant 6 weeks after I gave birth (my baby girl died due to a heart problem) and I fared just fine.

Answer 7

I also got pg when my baby boy was 9 months old, he is now 13 months and I am 17 weeks pregnant. Everything is going great, and I am sure it will go great for you also. Yes it will be hard at first for the both of us with the newborns and our boys, but it will be fine. God doesnt give you anything that you cant handle.. Keep your baby, your son will love his new brother or sister!!
Congrats and Good Luck...

Answer 8

I was you baby's age when mom got pregnate with my little bro and out of the 6 of us I was closer to him than any other sibling a lot of people end up pregnate very close to the last baby ever hear of stair step kids and mom has no problems with the pregnacy of baby either way the best thing in my opinion is to keep the baby

Answer 9

Do you really want to explain to your son someday why you aborted his brother or sister because you didn't know if your uterus was healed? I sure as heck wouldn't. A baby is a blessing. If you are able to conceive, I would hope you believe it's a blessing to. There are many woman you would love to be in your shoes right now.

Answer 10

You will be fine. Listen to your body, when your little one sleeps, have a sleep yourself. Try putting little one in pushchair/bouncy chair instead of carrying everywhere. Tell husband he should have used contraception if he didn't want another baby so soon. Dont let him pressure you into making a decision - make your own mind up because hey it will be you looking after children. Good luck.

Answer 11

Obviously God wanted you to have another baby. Your uterus will be fine. Talk to your gyno about it, I'm sure they can suggest some things to help with the pain. Not having the baby shouldn't be an option.
