Could I Be Pregnant Again? - Temecula,CA

My son was only 5 months old when I found out I was pregnant with my second son. I just had my second son by emergency c-section Friday. He's 5 weeks early so he's still in the hospital. I am not having any complications except the fact that I am just sore since I have never had a c-section before. I don't want anymore babies either so I feel you.

I had a missed period "scare" around 3-4 months after each of my 2 babies...but was't preg either time. After baby #2 my periods are no longer clockwork like before, so i need to find a new reliable bc method. Before, calendar and ov signs worked like a gem. Good luck!

Take a test, that is the only way to know.

Take two tests and call us in the morning!

:)

You MUST use birth control or condoms seriously if you don't want any more children right now....Take a test in a week if you don't get your period just to be sure... Happy thoughts to you :)

Don't stress! My son is 6 months and I still haven't had a period. I spotted twice but no period! It could just be your body getting back to normal. If you are breastfeeding, chances are it won't be normal until you completely stop. Are you exercising a lot more than usual? That can delay or mess up cycles as well.

I laughed when I read your title because that is the story of my life. My children are 5,2,1 so I know how you feel. I found out I was prego with my son (1) when my baby girl (2) was eight months and I was in shock. I was on bc and had regular periods but remember having 2 in one month prior. Nevertheless, I am thanking for them but it is not an easy job. I was two months before I actually new. My husband and I wanted at least 3 children but never dreamed they would be so close in age. Every month I am happy to see my "friend" lol. Also stressing could change your cycle as well and maybe your body different since you just had a baby, every pregnancy changed me. I wish you the best!

You will know for sure in about a month. Pregnancy can happen anytime someone has sex.

I have a little blessing that came 11 months after my second pregnancy...Olivia was my 3rd baby and yes, I got pregnant within the first 2 months after giving birth. You for sure could be pregnant and should just take a test and relieve the anxiety. I took the test, fell to my knees questioning "why".."how"?? 12 weeks to the day, I bled in the shower, I fell to my knees once again, this time "please don't take this precious baby from me"...olivia is now 14. It's interesting how lost I felt when I found out I was pregnant, then how scared I was when I thought I might lose the pregnancy. Now, I look at my beautiful girl and could never imagine life without her. Sometimes, the best thought out plans are just for business, life is sometimes richer with the gifts that are unplanned in our thoughts but absolutely the master plan of our total and complete family. :)

I'm in that boat. I got pregnant with my third when my daughter was almost 5 months old. So, yeah, you *could* be. And we also were only planning on two. It was really difficult for us to take in, but I'm 16 weeks now, and there's going to be a new baby! It will be hard for us financially, but we'll do what we have to do. That's the only option for us.

Have you taken a test yet? As soon as I thought I might be, I took like 5 tests (the stupid line was sooo faint!) Just get the digital one and be done with it! Whatever happens, good luck! If you are expecting a third child, just focus on the joy; stressing about doesn't do any good. Trust me.

I just wanted to add, that I don't know why people are telling you to wait a week before you test when you're already almost a week late. You should have taken a test already!

My DH and his ex ended up getting pregnant with #2 son when #1 son was 5 months old - she was breastfeeding and they had been using condoms but DH remembers one night deciding not to, and, well...yep.

So yes, it can happen. If you talk to their mom now (the boys are now 16 and 17) she will tell you that she was happy it happened the way it did, even though at the time they were totally in shock. Her experience was that they were both out of diapers at the same time, they always had each other to play with, and they could always do the same things and see the same things at the same time (i.e. amusement park rides and movies) without worrying about an age gap. Of course, I don't know if she was just trying to see the positive in a situation that was not planned but that was the conclusion she came to.

I would just say that if you don't get your period for another week, get tested.

Yes. Anytime you ever have sex and are fertile, you can get pregnant, even if you use birth control, have been sterilized, etc. Nothing is 100 % safe except abstinence.
It's perfectly possible for your body to be readjusting, so don't stress out. Just wait a week or so and take a test. Plenty of people have had perfectly fine pregnancies that close together. No need to worry, if you are.

Yes, your body might still be adjusting, but if you had unprotected sex, you certainly could be pregnant. I know many people who got pregnant again within a few months of having a baby.
Good luck.

your cycle is probably still adjusting. I got mine back at 8 weeks and had two regular periods and thought it was going to be regular because it always had been. But now at 8 months, I find its still not regular. Also I think its easy to get paranoid about another pregnancy at this stage in the game because its the last thing we want to have happen after we just survived another pregnancy and newborn.

Yep. I got pregnant when my baby was 5 months old.

I have 4 kids. 3 were C-section, and two of them are only 13 months apart. I had no complications, and my two that are close in age always had a built-in buddy. :) It was very hard on them when the oldest went off to college. Of course, they also bickered non-stop; it's a sibling thing. :)

I didnt have back to back to back c-sections. My kids are 18 months apart they are 5, 4 and almost three. We were not planning any of them. Are you nursing? I didnt get my period back until he my youngest was 17 months old. He was the only one that took to nursing. so he is the only one i can compare that with. The other two I still didnt get a regular period until they were 6 months old. I would call your ob. discuss the options. If you are, three can be stressful, but such a blessing. I would be lost with out my zephyr. Take deep breath! and try and relax your mind until you know for sure. I would try a preggo test at home too. ease your mind a bit.

Let us know how you are doing!!

My oldest was 8 months when we got pregnant with our second. I was ok with it, because we wanted them closer together. We weren't trying, but not preventing, either.
When my second was about 11 months old, I was talking to a friend who said you are most fertile right after you quit nursing. Well, my son had just weaned , and I remember having had one "accident" with our birth control. I was nervous, but since I hadn't gotten a period, yet, and it was only one time, I felt ok. Low and behold, the next month, I found out I was pregnant again. I wasn't excited at first-because I wanted more of a buffer between the second and third babies. But,I had three kids in three years- they are all healthy and happy. I enjoy having them so close in age! (Until I have to get them all into college, that is!! EEEK!) LOL!

If you are only using nursing as your birth control, I wouldn't completely trust it. Take a test. Then, test again in a week if it's negative. Just to be sure.

Good luck...or not? :)
