Did anyone get pregnant 6 months after having a baby?

[Ladyj0625]

I am currently pregnant with my second and I feel so fat because I didnt lose much of my baby weight and ppl look at me like im going to have a huge baby. It makes me feel bad and even worse about myself becuase im already self conscious about my weight. Also this pregnancy wasnt planned so im not excited about being pregnant and having babies close together. I think I just needed to vent.

Thank you. Were you breastfeeding exclusively when you got pregnant?

Was the same way with my 3rd. Was breastfeeding and didn't even know because I didn't have any cycles while breastfeeding. It was a huge surprise.  Good luck and you'll do awesome.

Hi,
The unplanned pregnancy and the excessive weight can make you feel bad. But you need to take this in your stride and take all the precautions for a good outcome of the pregnancy. The weight can be tackled after child birth. A regular exercise programme and dietary modification after delivery will help you lose weight.
