Gotta love this name, guys. Pure Joy & Laughter from UA-cam wrote in to ask about the timing of her second pregnancy. Mom of a 6 month old baby, she's already interested in having another baby, but feels that she hasn't healed enough. She asks: "has it been long enough to be OK?" Well, Pure Joy (can I give you that nickname?), your name was so compelling that I just had to answer right away and plus, I love this issue because I have been there, sister. My first two babies were 13 months apart, my second two 19 months apart, and #3 and #4 were 21 months apart. I never did the "spacing 'em out" thing -- rather I did the "sandwich 'em" thing so I have a lot to say on this!
First thing that comes to mind: having babies close in age is not easy. It has it's advantages, including coordinating naps, but having two in diapers can been tough. There's literally no break, no reprieve other than the afternoon nap and you have two little ones to transport (by age 3 many can walk on their own, at least for short stints). When kids get older, they can be some sibling rivalry issues too. I've been there. I live with this everyday. My kids are extremely close, but because they are doing so much together, sometimes they crave space.
How far apart are your children? Did you plan to space them out?
Meanwhile, planning to have a baby when you already have a baby is easier mentally because you know what you're looking at. When you walk into the good old baby megaspore, your knees don't quiver.
In today's blog, I talk about my own experiences with having babies in a row, getting pregnant while breastfeeding, and give some advice for moms who have young babies, but are already thinking about having a baby again.
Hope you like the video and thanks for watching!

I got pregnant six weeks after my first baby was born. Now I have a seven month old and I'm 25 weeks pregnant. And I have had no problems with the pregnancy.
What about your postpartum bleeding plz tell me
Thanks I was looking forward to this..my first is 6month and I'm 2month pregnant.
See me through my lord
My baby is 2 months old & we found out we are pregnant 3 days ago 😮 they will be only 11m apart
Blessings! ✨ How was body recovery?
Thanks for the advice! My son is 9 months old now and I am 16 weeks pregnant. And my doctor did end up saying it was fine even though it happened unexpectedly! But the pregnancy is going GREAT thank god! and I am very nervous about having two babies. Mostly feeling bad for my son simply because he still will need so much attention when the baby arrives but am slowly becoming more excited. Appreciate this video!
I'm currently in the same boat. How are you all doing?
My doctor said at least 6 months, but after that should be fine. Just make sure your blood iron levels are back to normal as its hard to fix that once pregnant again.
So true a family member gave birth to a baby 2 weeks before her baby turned 1. She was Breastfeeding and had no period when she fell pregnant.
I have a 2 1/2 year old a 14 month old and a newborn. It is very busy and I am tired alot but it is doable! All 3 take naps at the same time in the afternoon so I get to rest or eat (ha ha)
Good job mum
Omg this might be me in the future ahhh I’m excited and scared all at once
I'm currently 34 weeks pregnant and chasing after a 14 month old. We knew we wanted our babies close together despite the amount of diapers and sleepless nights in the future.
I do feel bad for my son lately because he wants to run around and play and I'm slowing down. I also lost my supply when he was 10 months old so that's something to consider if you want to continue nursing. He simply had zero interest.
Positives so far have been that I have had high energy up to this point which has helped me manage my weight better. Also my son is in a very good routine so I know I can sneak in a couple naps and it also has me less worried about integrating a newborn into our schedule.
Good luck mama!!
hi my baby is 10 months and husband is not as precious as I am. he thinks it OK to go unprotected the first 3 days after my period and I'm scared to death. not ready for another baby yet. what's your views does the free boat rule of 3days still apply
I was exclusively nursing and was suppose to using breastfeeding as birth control. I got my period back at 8 weeks postpartum! Thank goodness I didn't ovulate without a period.
Breastfeeding is NOT a birth control
Totally off topic.....but Me and my husband are trying to get pregnant again. I am still breastfeeding my little girl she is 8 months old. Have not had a period since she was born. Going to try fertilitea. Any suggestions on ho to get pregnant?
Great advice, as always :) Thanks!
I'm pray that we can get pregnant soon as we had a beautiful but premature by 12 week s. We got to see and talk to him for 10 days wonderful days. Ben brought such love and funny moments to our life's that he'd have to have a baby brother or sister so all tips please help.
It's the best thing for them and u in the long run
I also got pregnant with my daughter when my son was only 5 months old. It is tough but again naps are great, both nap together now, and I come from a family where my oldest sibling is 10 years older then I am so my feeling is that I would like my kids hopefully be closer relationship wise as well as they grow. I'm pregnant now with our third child and my oldest will turn three the same month as I'm due with our newest baby. Again it's really tough sometimes, lots of needs to be met, but when it comes to the big picture I would like my children to be more less in the same stages in life so hopefully as they grow will form a tight bond with one another. I know things don't always work the way we'd hope, but again when I was 12 my brother was 22, out of the house, so we love each other because we're siblings but not cause we have precious memories.
i want to knw after childbirth is it true that fertility is too hight after childbirth
Omg I feel this way! My fiancé and I are planning our children (as much as that’s possible) and we’re hoping to have back to back pregnancies as well! My older siblings are 10+ years older as well and I can hardly connect to them.
My 2nd baby was 7 months when I found out I was pregnant. My baby is 8 months now. I am 7 weeks pregnant and have my 1st prenatal visit tomorrow. This is my 3rd pregnancy. My last 2 were c sections. I took the plan B the next day and for certain thought no way I would be pregnant and surprisingly I AM! I was in pure shock, my husband keeps calming me down. First prenatal visit tomorrow. Wish me luck!
Just wanted to let you know, plan B is marketed as birth control, but it is actually an early abortion medication. It basically triggers a mini period to flush out the embryo and prevent it from implanting.
Hey QueenC . What was your age when you conceived this beautiful babies
@Priyanka Deshmukh you're so sweet....27, 32, & 33. All Boys. They are ages 9, 4, and in June, the last one will be 3.
How are y'all doing now?
@QueenC
My wife gets pregnant just after 6 months of C section. Will there be any complications/problems in the near future ??? Please reply
Im 6 months postpartum and experiencing pregnancy symptoms and I am freaking out
I am about to have my second baby in May, my first son will only be 16 months old. Physically, this pregnancy has gone great, less complications than the first one! Though I am worried about the energy level after having a baby while trying to run after a very active toddler!
Ive decided in the last 2mths to try for baby number 2 and im not there yet.. My dd is 11mths now.. I thought it mite be good to add that somewhere(i forget) there was a study done saying that babies and kids 2-3yrs apart yend to have better math and reading grades in school
Hi Kylie -- lord help me if that's true, none of mine are even 2yrs apart! Yikes!
Just found out I'm pregnant and I have a 6 month old my dry only concern is the medication I'm on. As if I take it in the last trimester my baby could have some problems. This baby was planned but I only came of the pill 5 weeks ago so it was a shock if happened so quickly. My problem is when telling my close family instead of being pleased they could only see the problems and seem to think I'm silly for them being so close in age but other than my mental health I'm healthy and my son is in a routine. Please how did you cope with negative responses?
OK, so you are in almost exactly the same boat I was in... I got pregnant with #2, Lachlan, when my 1st was 5 months old, there was definitely some negativity in the air! First, I would meet with my dr. Then, with a smile, I would tell friends and family when you're ready that another blessing is on the way. If they want to be negative, that's their problem. There are a lot of blessings in having children close in age. Pls go to my site as I've done a lot of videos about this issue. Hang in there! xoxo M
Thank you will check them out have been to the dr and they don't seem to think it this pregnancy will be any different to my last one. Loving your videos by the way.
My brother and I are exactly 11 months apart. I also have another brother and sister that are also 11 months and a few days apart. My sister and I are 1 year and a week apart. When my older sister was a year and 11 months, my mom had 3 kids. I now have 6 brothers and 4 sisters (one in heaven)
Can i get pregnant after 4 weeks delivery but my period are not back
I got a 4 & half month old baby and I really thinking about having another one my period returned 20th of September until the 27th then again on the 14th of October until the 21st I’m currently tracking for ovulation I’m 11 pd and still getting negatives i started testing day 9 and did the baby dance on that day and it was negative tested again yesterday day 10 still negative and again today day 11 still negative but I baby danced any advice ?
What happened?
i have a 6,5 month old and im about 5 weeks pregnant :) we wanted them close in age so its perfect for us
very close to what I did, my first two were 13 months apart, best of luck and pls lmk how it is going!
hi how are u?i saw ur comment.hows ur baby wd closer gap?
Hi. They sre doing great, they are now 3,5 and 2,5 years old. And now we have a little 6 months old baby sister to. So we had another baby close in age to.
But I must admit that it's a bit stressful with 4 small children
Stine Kirkeby did you lose all your baby weight before getting pregnant again at 5 months postpartum? If not did you gain much weight in the subsequent pregnancy?
I cant wait to get pregnant again!! My baby is 5mnths
Oh please please how do you coordinate naps???
Since my youngest was about 9 or 10 months old she stopped having morning naps and her and her brother go down for a afternoon nap together. I didn't really do anything too special to make it happen, but as soon as I noticed her nap schedule start to change from two naps to just the one I put them down at the same time. It's a welcome break in the afternoon:)
I have a question that is not about this topic. I am overweight and planning to start to try soon for a baby. I know that being overweight could be considered high risk pregnancy and wondering if going to a midwife is not an option. I have asked my doctor about becoming pregnant and she is not worried but I am too nervous to ask if having a midwife is even an option.
I am borderline overweight...currently on my 16th week. Personally I would suggest to stick with your doctor because of the risk that it may take depending I guess on how overweight you are and if there are any other medical conditions that can go around the pregnancy (age, any current illnesses) especially if this is your first pregnancy, you and future baby want to be safe and healthy. Once you have gone through the first one, want another baby, and if you are feeling fairly confident about it...then go with the midwife next.

@@Milliscentngozi2023 its a lot of work especially if you are older(35+)lol
Great 🤦🏻♀️ I had a baby 7 weeks ago and I feel like I’m pregnant again 😩😩
We're you? And congratulations 🎉
my babygirl is only three months old and I am pregnant again I know babys are a blessing but I cant help but worry cause they will be so close in age and my baby has been really fussy I dont know if she feels im pregnant??
how could you tell you were pregnant I think I may be in this boat
I just started feeling sick and less patient with my other child and she started acting very whiney so i took a test and yup I sure was, babies are blessings and if you are im happy for you momma. Best of luck ♡
+lori saenz I have been cramping my nipples are so sore and it hurts to lay on tummy. Last period was 3 weeks ago. I am exhausted and I puked this morning. I took 2 test they came up negative but I feel like it's too soon to tell and the test I used was cheap. like 88 cents
+Samantha Boch i would definitely give it like a week or 2 and test again cause I took 3 that were negative and i took one about 3 months later and it was positive. If the cramps get worse I'd go to the doctor also for sore nipples I'd suggest a warm wet towel or something very cold.

I heard pregnancy can change the way your breast milk tastes to baby.. So they definitely know somethings off!

My baby is 4 1/2 months.
Just found out im pregnant again. Im devasted. I cant stop crying. Ive even considered sucide! Im only 20 yrs old. Ill be 21 when the next one comes. It was an accident. Not planned at all! Please help Melissa! Please! I dont know what to do!
Hang in there my dear!!!!! I know you are so stressed but you are going through almost exactly what I did: I found out about #2 when my first was just 5 months old. I will admit that year 1 was not easy ... but after that I could coordinate alot of things and my kids had a built in playdate. You will love this baby and you will make it work. Sending love, Melissa
This is me I am 20 my baby is 4 months. I am pregnant again and we took the morning after pill and it didn't work the babies are exactly 1 year apart to the day the due dates are oct 4 2017 and Oct 5 2018. I kinda want them to have the same bday but im so scared to tell family
Ashley Abel keep that baby, girl!!! You will be so thankful your child wasn't killed by you with that pill. Hope your pregnancy has been smooth and you hang in there!! You can do this!!!❤️
My dear its de same thing with me...I cried my eyes out am just 21 too..my first child is just 5months..suicide is not de option dear
@@lilianchiamaka9750 are you pregnant again? I'm telling you 7 years later. It is the best thing that happend! Now my kids are growing together and we have so much fun!!
It blows my mind how women won't allow their bodies to heal. That is important. Sex is not THAT good. Maybe it's just me. My body is sensitive inside and out. I wouldn't dare let a penis inside of me while I'm still healing, it's just something about that that makes me cringe. My something in my vagina was still a little sore when I went to the bathroom after 6 weeks, two weeks after that I still had discharge coming out. So it blows my mind and I don't get it. I also had a C section so I could just imagine the sensitivity if I had my baby natural. Lawd.
You have to have sex in order to get pregnant- I'm too tired for that lol. Our baby is almost 5 months old, I still haven't gotten my period yet but I'm breastfeeding. We are wanting to start trying in a few months.
I just gave birth april 3rd ... Shes 2 months now & im pregnant... I have a 18 month old 2 month old & I'm pregnant again... Requesting for csection im blessed yet stressed lol.. I'm going to enjoy my pregnancy anyway
