Babies months apart

So I had my son July 28th,2014 and am now due June 30th, 2015... If number two comes on time they will be 11 months apart! (You should seriously wait the six weeks) I'm kind of freaking out and wondering if anyone else is going through this too..

I have a four yr old Aug 10, 2010 a 10month old Feb 25, 14 and I'm 14wks preggo due July 13,2015.. I never thought I would have three children at 24 but I will.. My husband will be a big help.. I thank God for him.. But he works 8-5 so I will have them to myself for 8-9hrs.. The first two were easy being their almost 4yrs apart but I pray for my sanity with my 2 under 2 lol... My mom had 7 and my grandmother had 10 so I know if they did it with all them I can handle my 3__ good luck ladies

My boys are 15 months apart.  While it is a whirlwind, it is also chaotic FUN.  One trick that my pediatrician told me was that when the baby is just laying there and you do something for your older child, you say "okay baby, you have to wait a minute because I am helping your brother!"  and then when you say that to the older child, they understand that mommy helps both and both kiddos have to occasionally wait.  That worked pretty well.  I had a family room with a door which was nice.  I'd shut us in there.  No escapees!!  ha ha.  I had two boxes that I kept toys in that I rotated and I'd bring out one box for my older son when feeding my younger.  He'd be enthralled with the toys he hadn't seen for a while (books, puzzles, little toys, etc.) and I'd get a few minutes of focusing on the new baby to feed them.   Grocery shop at night.  ha,  that's what I did.  My hubby would be in charge and I'd run to the grocery store all by myself and wiz through because there was no one in the store at night and I didn't have kiddos, car seats, etc. to deal with.  So, that saved my sanity (two kids at the grocery that are both super young is HARD).  I also got good at holding my newborn in one arm.  Then my other arm was free. I'm right handed but I held him in my left so I could do what needed to be done for my older son.  I could make lunch with one arm, holding the baby in the other.  !!  You'll be amazed at what you can do with one arm only!  Also, don't stress about your house.  It's gonna be messy.  You are only one person and it is just a short time that they are both tiny, so during that time, be lenient on yourself about housekeeping.  Just do your best.  My husband takes kids for a couple of hours completely without my help for a couple of few hours and I power clean.  :>)  good luck

I had sex after 5 and a half weeks with a condom and I was still afraid. Got on the mirena and the first time we had sex with it we didn't use a condom obviously lol but right after he came inside me I started crying freaking out. Haha I was scared to have sex because I was terrified of getting pregnant again lol

My son was born on January 28th 2014. And this baby is due February 28th 2015. Even though the second was planned we didn't really do the calculations to see when the baby would be due when we were trying. And it was all fine when we did find out but now I went into preterm labor a couple days ago at 33 +4! So this baby could come a lot sooner (possibly even the weekend of my sons 1st birthday... I'm really excited to have our second baby but I didn't anticipate this being sooooo close. Really stressing out here. I'm sure everything will work out. For you as well. Its nice to know I'm not the only one nervous! Good luck mama. We're gonna need it!

Oh wow that's hard and I know it will be for me too. I honestly thought of abortion and adoption and couldn't do it. I just hope I don't lose my mind the first two years! And I never had a period after my son my six weeks would have been September 10th but it was so hard for us to get pregnant the first time we figured it wouldn't happen again and were having sex regularly within 2 to 3 weeks. If it was really just once that you have had sex don't but please please please don't make it a habit. Your so fertile.. Condoms at least

I'm not, but my best friend had both her babies a little short of a year apart, she got induced early with her last so they wouldn't have the same birthday or days apart. She struggles a bit, she was struggling with the first, but she has good friends and family to help her out some what and her boyfriends family. She felt really unsure with the second one and wanted to give him up for adoption and everything but didn't because her sister had just gave her 3rd baby up for adoption shortly before. I hardly see her anymore, and it ***** but I understand it can be a pain to haul around two tiny babies in the cold it gets to like -20 here. But she's on a lot of government programs and she's not working and I don't believe her boyfriend is, and she's really depressed and everything about all of it but does nothing to change. But I wish you the best of luck!
