So I have a six month old daughter, and I just recently found out I was pregnant again with a home test... It's really stressful cause its really early . I wanna have my baby cause I don't think abortions are fair, at the same time I have people constantly in my ear trying to tell me that its to early, although it may be true I still believe its a lot if women who have been through this and ended up fine... I really just need some advice on what to do its so hard when you got people telling you what to do instead of asking what I want.

Everything will be fine. I'm pregnant with my 2nd, although mine will be 2 1/2 years apart. But my brother is 15 months younger than me and we free up super close and still are. I always wanted my kids super close. I got pregnant twice right after my son was born buy unfortunately miscarried. But I'm still happy my kids will be pretty close in age. My mom said it was hard at first have 2 babies 15 months apart, but it was also easier. We always had each other to play with and occupy one another. She also said since we were so close, my brother learned this early by watching me. He walked sooner and was potty trained early. Ull do great. Congrats!

I am a product of being close in age with siblings. I was 5 months old when my mom became pregnant with one of my brothers then when he was 5 months old she became pregnant with twin boys, so it was 4 kids under 2 years old in my house, we grew up close & fine, the bond is so much better than if u were 5 years or More (in some cases) even with the fighting a lot of laughing and playing was there,I'm glad I'm close to my brothers in age, I want my next two children to b at least a year apart or closer so I can get it over with, I have a 4 & a half year old now

yep you will be fine, all you need to do is make sure your diet is well balanced and you are taking your preg vitamins and you get rest, lie down for a rest when your baby does, my closest two are13 mths apart, its also easier with 2, and you dont worry about the small stuff second time round :)

My daughter and son are 15 mths apart in age, so, like you, I got pregnant when she was 6 mths old.  I won't lie- the first year is really hard, but it gets better. So much better that I just had my third child. I am somehow finding myself being able to cope with 3 kids 3 and under! I hope it all works out for you :)

I think you need to do what is best for you and not what other people tell you.  It will have it's ups and downs just like everything else in life but you WILL be ok.  Don't let anybody tell you any different.  Children are a gift so cherish them!!!  Try to stress to your family that you already know everything they are saying to you and right now you don't need that you just need somebody to be supportive.  Congratulations and good luck.

My sub well new one in the 26th and I'm due with my second in march they'll be less than 14 months apart. It is a little harder because I'm tired but have a tot to run after and I'm a but more uncomfortable because I didn't have a chance to fully heal but its nothing that is unmanageable. You'll be fine and do great if you decide to stick it out, of course tired and uncomfortable at my stage (30weeks 3 days) but otherwise completely fine. Good luck and have faith :-)

I know several people with children 12 months apart...that means they concieved when their firsts were only 6-8 weeks old...and they are all just fine!! they do recommed you wait atleast a year...but your body should absolutly be fine...just make sure you take your prenatal vitamins :)

My sis just had babies 11mos apart. She only wanted to have 1, so the second was a complete unplanned surprise. Everything worksis itself out. I have always wanted my kids close together so that would be my dream situation!
