Is it ok to try to have a baby 5 months pp??

Question

I feel like my body is healed. I gave birth to my son 4 months ago. The only thing i have is an automunne disease..& I gained weight. Should i lose alittle weight before trying??

Answer

It takes 18-24 months for the body to fully recover from pregnancy and childbirth. Getting pregnant soon than that has higher risks of preterm labor, miscarriage, irritable uterus, PPROM, uterine rupture, etc.

Answer

Even if you feel healed, it takes your body a full 12-18 months to actually full heal.
You can get pregnant, but your risk of complications is high if you don’t wait.

Answer

You feel healed but you aren’t. It’s recommended you wait 18months with that being said it does happen before then obviously and people have healthy babies but it puts you and the baby at greater risk. Also my kids are 2 yrs apart and it’s still so difficult I can’t imagine them being any closer in age. My son was able to have my sole attention for 2 yrs and that’s literally the best thing. I’m honestly sad my daughter won’t get that bc I’m divided between her and her brother now.

Answer

It doesn’t matter that you “feel healed”. Like that’s awesome you’re feeling great, but no your body has not fully healed yet. Your body went through 9 months of changes - hormonal included, so it takes time for your body to fully adjust back to normal and fully recover. It’s generally recommended to wait a year from what I’ve heard to try for another. While back to back pregnancies can happen, it’s very stressful for your body if it’s not allowed that complete time to recover, and can even result in problems in the pregnancy or pre-term labor.

Answer

I personally think it’s a bit selfish to try before a year 🤷🏻‍♀️ focus on that little baby. You think you’re healed but you’re likely not. I have seen to many of my friends and family have issues because they decide to get pregnant 3-4 months PP. then they can even take care of the one that is STILL a little baby. 
Like my friend has a baby who was born November like my daughter, they are 1 now, but she got pregnant 5 months PP and she can’t even hold her girl to let her fall asleep for 5 minutes before getting to tired. Belly in the way. I feel bad for her little girl. She kept crying and crying for her. She didn’t want anyone but her. And then another friend had her kids 10 months apart 🤦🏻‍♀️ literally pregnant right away basically. Now she has 2 that don’t even walk. Sad.

Answer

4 months and you want another?????
🤭 Is your last name Duggar or????

Answer

personally I’d wait AT LEAST a year. You think your body is healed but it isn’t fully yet.

Answer

I got pregnant when my son was 4 months.. I didn't have an complications with either, but it varies person to person and most doctors don't recommend it.

Answer

That’s when I got pregnant unbeknownst to me. On birth control but hey 😯 my daughter is now 4 months and my son, 18 months. It’s HARD. ppd with my second is tough. Getting used to this body is tough. Exhausted is not even the word. It’s nice as they get older but having them both SO close, was not ideal. If anything I would’ve waited because I wanted a 3 year gap and to finish college more than anything but it is what it is. I thought having 1 was hard until I had the second lol but it all does work out.

Answer

It's your body. If you feel like you're ready, go ahead. Who are we to judge and condemn your situation?
