well i actually got really dizzy with my last baby and felt sick before i even missed my period! so you never know. it was the reason i took the test
Hi i just wondered what is the youngest age of your lo when you got pregnant again? were you breastfeeding? and i was wanting to breastfeed with baby number 2 and im wondering how possible thats gona be with a 13 month old! x
#5 was about 4 mos old when i got preggo with #6. they were supposed to be 13 mos apart, but he came a little early and they are exactly 12 1/2 mos apart. #4 and #5 are 14 mos apart, so nothing new for me. i wasnt bfing, my last baby is the first for me to bf. my cycles were really messed up after #5 and i wasnt ov, was having a period every 2-3 weeks. i used natural progesterone cream and it lengthened my cycle. i ov the next cycle and got pregnant on first egg since having the last baby. hope that made sense
there is a thread with support for bfing and pregnancy or tandem nursing. i joined it to get info, but if i were to get pregnant im not sure if i would keep bfing or not. cross that bridge when i get there i figure.
it might help you with questions more than i can since i havent done that yet...

Thank you! and yeh i think il do the same! if i manage to bf while im in the hospital that will be a start and if i dont manage to do it after thats fine. im alot more chilled out than i was last time!!
do you want any more kids after this baby?
oh yes hun! we would love many more children. DH and i believe they are the greatest gift. we would take 20 more, but since im 34 and DH is 37 we will likely run out of fertule time first
we are NTNP for the rest of our lives so we will see what we are blessed with
thats so beautiful. my husband would love to ntnp for the rest of our lives! BUT we have a 3 bedroom house and limited funds lol. i think its so beautiful your able to do that and wow 20 more hehe how big is your house? and do you look after them all on your own? your a strong woman!
also did you know you both had the same values about children before you got married? x
lol we have a 5 bedroom. i could fit many more in here though. we are actually only using 3 bedrooms. my 12 and 14 yr old dd's share a room, my 2 and 5 yr old ds's share a room, and my 8 mo old and 20 mo old co-sleep with us. one room we use half for storage and half for a dressing room for my girls. the other room is our classroom. my 5, 12, and 14 year olds do their home school curriculum while i do 'blanket time' with my 1 and 2 yr old. we sing songs and read books, and they have a snack. i usually have my 8 mo old in the sling nursing or asleep at that time. sometimes my 5 yr old is out with us while we do blanket time, if he is learning something new or just needs help.
DH and i didnt have these values when we first got married. #3 was a surprise and i quit my career and stayed at home. i found the Lord when he was 2 mos old. decided we wanted him to have a sibling closer in age. after having #4 we decided to try for one more, but it had taken 5 mos to get him so we thought it would take a while. got pregnant first month ttc, so they are 14 mos apart. then was gonna get my tubes tied, decided to pray instead and do whatever God said. God said to trust Him for our family size and the spacing of our children, so we do. was pregnant with the next one at about 4 mos, so they are 12.5 mos apart.
6 years ago i would have been overwhelmed at the thought of my life now... 6 kids, sahm, homeschool teacher, etc. i used to be a psychologist working with homeless patients with severe mental illness. i guess God had other plans for me. and He gets all the glory for every single bit of it. i was a huge mess without Him and would be again if He left my side for one single second. He provides everything we need, patience, peace, money, our home, you name it
