ANOTHER BABY TOO SOON!!!

I HAVE A BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER WHOM IS GOING TO BE ONE YEAR OLD IN THREE WEEKS. I HAVE NOW HAD A NAUTIOUS FEELING ON AND OFF FOR ABOUT 1 WEEK NOW WITH ALMOST VOMITING A COUPLE OF TIMES. I THINK IT'S TOO EARLY TO TAKE A TEST AND FRANKLY I'M A LITTLE NERVOUS. MY HUSBAND AND I WERE PLANNING ON WAITING UNTIL NEXT SUMMER TO GET PREGNANT. I REALLY DON'T WANT ANOTHER CHILD RIGHT NOW. WE ARE JUST BEGINING TO GET BACK INTO A ROUTINE THAT WORKS FOR US. THE THREE OF US ARE BEGINING TO TRAVEL AGAIN AND ARE ENJOYING IT. I REALLY JUST WANTED TO ENJOY MY DAUGHTER FOR A WHILE AND GIVE EACH CHILD SPECIAL MOMMY AND ME TIME. AM I BEING TOO SELFISH? HOW HARD IS IT TO HAVE TWO CHILDREN ONLY 1 YR AND 9 MO APART? IF ANYONE HAS ANY OPINIONS LET ME KNOW. TY

You think your situation is bad. I have a friend who had a baby girl on Jan. 25. She is now PG and due Jan. 16. They will not even be 1 year apart. She was exteamly scared in the begining and even thought about not having the baby but now is excited and glad she did not go with her first thoughts. Good Luck!

The only thought that comes to mind is "WOW" I couldn't even imagine. I would never try to change fate, but that is quite close together. Send her lots of hugs and best wishes.

I did work with a girl who was like 10 months younger than her sister, those women that can do that deserve a lot of credit, mine are 17 months apart and thats hard enough.

My wife and I are a little similar......this is second month on orthotri. our son is 5 months old.....the past week she's been having heartburn, nausia, and tired---all very present and very early with son......we're wondering if it's possible that she could be pregnant even on orthotri. The next five days should tell......kinnda scary the thought of having two so close...but also kindda exciting

After reading all the messages, makes me wish I had started trying sooner! We have an almost 3 yr old DD and it just got so easy, we didn't want to give that up. Now it's time, but I've almost run out of time cuz I'm turning 40 soon... So Congrats to all of you who did it sooner, because I think the pos outweighs the neg. AF should start next week, let's hope not!

To put in the "it-could-always-be-worse" file: my sister's best friend's mom got pregnant right after having her son with twins! On top of that, the twins were born prematurely. So she had three children under the age of nine months! Whew! Later she went on to have two more. I guess what doesn't kill you....

My boys are 12 months apart. I remember bringing son #2 home from the hospital and feeling 'stuck' because son #1 couldn't walk yet..so I basically had to stay home (or grow more arms to hold them!!)

Looking back, I don't regreat one bit having them close. It was, and still is, a lot of work, but worth it. They are now 4 and 5 and though they do argue, they are also great friends.

Best of luck!!

I had those same symptoms when I starter OrtoTriCycle about 6 yrs. ago and It was a side effect until my body got adjusted to the pill but I don't remember how long I had those symptoms. I hope it turns out the way you want!

Hi!

I'm due January 3rd with my 3rd baby. If you are pregnant, congrats! I have to tell you from personal experience, having my girls close together has been the best thing I could ever ask for. I of course didn't think that when I found out I was pregnant with my youngest daughter. My oldest was only 4 months old when I found out, they are almost 13 months apart. My oldest was born May 10th 2000, my youngest was born June 5th 2001.My girls are so close and are pretty much best friends. Here I am, I have 2 beautiful girls ages 2 and 3, and am pregnant again and couldn't be happier. Just keep thinking that you'll be ok...I'm sure you will be. Take care!

Hi! I'm trying for baby #3. And I am going nuts trying to figure out if I'm pregnant or not. My period starts(or shouldn't) on the 28th of Sept. I'm wondering if the symptoms come faster with subsequent pregnancies, example, my breasts are getting sore and and certain parts of the day they feel inflated and there is a small pinching feeling to it. Yet I only ovulated 5-6 days ago. Can anyone help me??????????

thanks
