I think if you want a big family that's great but my only thing is getting rid of the baby weight

Mine will be a year apart. Maybe closer cuz my daughter was preemie & my son may be too.

I had no idea I was pregnant until I went in to have surgery. And before I was put to sleep I had to have a pregnancy test done, just in case. I was already in the bed, on iv. Ready togo, nnext step was being put to sleep, they checked the rest and surprise, it was positive.

Well, I was trying to stay on topic of her question regarding her life. And since she will be experiencing kids close together, I was telling her the great things about it.   luck to the poster.  

Yes Victoriamichelle, it's fun to watch siblings grow up that are around the same age.  My kids really enjoy each other as friends and play together.   It's so heart warming!

I am very well in the baby mode , there are some things you will never forget. & my daughter will be lots of help(: i'm not downing anyone for having kids that are close together, it's up to you what you do with your body. But I would have waited until my body was fully prepared and healed. . .

I agree with specialmom 100% ^^^

My neice and nephew are 15 months apart.. they are best friends. They are so close in age that it makes it easy cause yhey can play the same games and do the same things.  Where as me and my sister are 4 1/2 years apart and fought everyday until she went to college... we had absolutely nothing in common. So i think youll be fine!(: congrats and good luck!

It is good to know your limits.  I was commenting on the fear the poster has regarding two kids close together.  It can be a huge blessing!  I'm so glad my kids are close in age.  It has many advantages.  So, I wanted her to hear that!

I also wanted to tell the poster that I have a really close friend that is 11 months apart from her sister.  There is a name for it "Irish twins".  They too are such great friends.  And think about it, you'll get the diaper phase of multiple kids over quickly!!  :>)  You'll still be in baby mode so you'll just roll with it.  Sometimes it is harder to get used to a baby when you haven't had one for a while.  And when you have two close together, they are at similar stages so you don't have to take an older child to their things and think about what to do with the baby.  Ya know?  It's really been great for my family with kids close together.  So, do not be too afraid!

With me having lots of nieces and nephews it makes me not want anymore, plus i'm young still myself. Two kids is my limit, and now I am done. . . I absolutely thank God for allowing me to be able to be VERY healthy and able to carry another child. I wish you good luck with this pregnancy sweetness(:

My sons are very close together in age, 15 months.  My oldest was 7 months when I became pregnant with number 2. It's wonderful, honestly.  They are the best of friends.  My sister and I are 5 years apart and I felt like an only child.  We did not become close as siblings until we were adults.  So, enjoy their closeness and the wild ride of a toddler and a baby.  It's a bit of work but so worth it.  My sons really are best buddies.   good luck

Of course I had sex I knew that. But we tried to prevent it. We was safe everytime. Its healed just needs fixed. Its just sensitive that's all. I'm not exactly upset about being pregnant, kinda excited actually but super nervous. This ones due date is exactly 11 months apart.

Oh wow. Congrats. But that is what happen to my mom after she had me. She was on the pill and a few months later she had a surprise that she was pregnant again with my brother. Even with my pastor she got pregnant while she was one the pill. Then after she had her second son..they Tide her up and guess what she was pregnant again with a girl. Its a blessing God wants this child in the world. :) good luck.

the only way for you to be pregnaant is if you had sex still, there is no way for medicine to get you pregnant. . . & ouch that must have hurt if your incision was not healed down there.
