Has anyone had a healthy baby from getting pregnant 3 months postpartum?

Question

Is it possible to have a healthy pregnancy or baby 3 months postpartum? I'm 37 years old and almost 40 and would not mind knocking it out of the way but, I heard negative things about getting pregnant too soon. My baby is almost 3 months but, I'm wondering hypothetically how it would be for me and if any of you guys had giving birth to a healthy baby and getting pregnant 3 month postpartum?🤷‍♀️ Have any of you survived the odds??...🤨🤔

Answer

You’re already high risk and I wouldn’t want to  be extra high risk by getting pregnant so soon! Not safe at allllll

Answer

If you're asking because you want to get pregnant now that is highly not recommend. Your doctor will tell you, you need to wait for your body and hormones to get back to normal first.

Answer

I’ve heard you should wait a minimum of 6 months. 
But according to studies, 18 months is best . However, talk to your doctor and they can guide you.

Answer

My friend got pregnant 6 weeks pp! The baby was fine- it's the mum who can have issues.

Answer

Yes I have been pregnant 2020 had her 2021 got pregnant again after she was 3.5 month had my twins this year in 2022 currently pregnant again due in 2023. I have been pregnant back to back with healthy babies.

Answer

It's safer to wait a year- but equally I understand your concerns about fertility..

Answer

18 months is optimum, a year is good too. I got pregnant 6 months pp and while we absolutely adore the age gap I don't ever recommend it. I almost died an hour after birth due to massive hemorrhaging directly caused by my back to back pregnancies. It was so hard on my body that my body started trying to go into labor at 22 weeks, I ended up on strict bed rest with an infant, and I struggled to stay pregnant until full term. If that's what getting pregnant at 6 months can do imagine 3 months, when your body has has zero time to replenish it's nutrient reserves, your uterus isn't even fully back to it'a original size, your muscles aren't even back in their correct positions, and baby isn't even sleeping through the night yet. Trust me on this when I say that being on bedrest with an infant absolutely sucks.

Answer

I believe there is higher risk of preterm labor and IUGR. With that being said I had a full term stillbirth and wanted to get pregnant again soon…the maternal fetal medicine doctor said that it is important you feel healthy and gave us the ok to start trying. We got pregnant after 3 months but had a miscarriage so I suspect my body wasn’t ready quite yet. I would talk to your doctor about the risks and then make the decision that’s best for you!

I’m 37 & I got pregnant 5 months postpartum on the first try. Baby is healthy & great (I’m about 20 weeks). I

Answer

At age for geriatric pregnancy you are considered high risk. Topping that off with another pregnancy at 3-4m pp. would put you at even higher risk and not wise for your health or future baby’s health/life. Miscarriage risk would be high. 
Most definitely talk to your dr about this. Mayo Clinic even says a minimum of 1yr pp. 
Most drs and ACOG say not to ttc until a minimum of 18m pp.
