Good luck

I fell pregnant around 3 months after giving birth. Took me totally by surprise as it took me a long time to conceive my first daughter. So I now have two daughters who are 12 months apart in age and the very best of friends. And I had no problems carrying again so soon though did get a little anaemic (which I guess is no surprise). I have lost count of the number of people I have met with a similar age gap so I am sure we must be extra fertile so soon after giving birth.

After hearing all these stories I will have to be extremely careful about birth control and make a plan to get an extremely reliable method in place ASAP after birth and not let my husband anywhere near me until I do! Not that there's anything wrong with two back to back (congrats all who do) but it wouldn't be right for us.

On a related note, one of my good friend's sisters was told she would never give birth naturally. They turned to IVF and got twins, and three months after the twins were born she got pregnant naturally (they didn't use birth control for obvious reasons). 3rd little girl born 12 months after the twins. Apparently all those post-birth hormones reactivated her system!
