Question: What to do if I actually do come up pregnant soon?

[martikadragoon]

heres the thing, I actually got preggo really easily with TJ because dh didn't P/O 1 time 3 days before I ovulated. Since I had TJ, I said NO to any hormonal bc and decided to use condoms. Well they suck so I moved onto the foam and condoms AND foam on my fertile days.
I know it would be BAD to have another baby super close after a csection, but what I want to know is

A) How will the doctors handle it?
(my High risk OBGYN said he'd be REALLY mad if I saw him again within the next 2 yrs)

B)And has anyone on this board ever done it themselves?

C) how the h*ll would I tell DH without him wigging out on me???? lol, he does NOT want me getting pregnant for a while at least til next june or july.

I ask because even with the method's we've used (which were reliable in the past) I'm on day 23 of my cycle, and am having an abundance of TMI: Creamy/lotiony cm.  I know it's a sign of pregnancy because it was a sign I had with TJ.

TJ just turned 10 weeks old yesterday (actually 2 days ago.. it's after midnight my time now!) It's not the close ages I can't handle it's the risks that come with getting pregnang closer than 6 mo. after a csection.

THANKS ladies!

I really liked the nuva ring, i didn't have any complications on it as with other pills. You might wanna consider something as you did get pregnant so easliy the first time and you do kinda have a lot on your plate right now

mine weren't quite so close together, but i have had 4 c-sections (and of course children, lol) in 5 years...  so it can be done!  i was nervous about them being close but i had no complications from any of them.  

my dh and his sis are only 11 months apart.  but my mil's births were not c-sections.

Thnx, my obgyn claimed I wouldn't gain weight with the NUVARING because it's low dose, as low as Mirena or lower... well I did, 10-15lbs, and I also got migraines on BOTH kinds of hormonal BC I tried.  If I AM preggo I'm gonna try and take better care of myself this time. :) I'll keep everyone updated. I'm getting a test tonight and if it's BFN (4 days before AF) then I'll wait a week til AF is supposed to show and is missed and do another.

My sis got preggo exactly 6 weeks after giving birth, there b-days are jan. & feb. the one in feb. was 2 1/2 months early so if she was full term they wouldn't have been so close.....but her body healed quickly and condoms were her only option (myself, my sis, & our mom are all allergic to the pill form b/c) but a few of my friends have had the "mirena" inserted to prevent pregnancy for up to 5 years, but it can be removed before then if you wish, none of them have had any problems with it and so far one of them has been almost 3 years without getting preggo! ask your doc about other options!! best of luck!

I got pregnant 7 weeks after having Aubree and it ended in miscarriage the doctor said there is higher rate for miscarriages if you get pregnant soon after giving birth ... but it could go to be a healthy pregnancy...

lemme also add, at my 2 week checkup the doctor was amazed. I was almost completely healed up. At 3 weeks postop I was moving 35lb boxes (stupid I know but who else could do them? we were moving 2 households!) and had no pain at all from my incision.
