[ericacrdn1]

My bf wants to have sex within the 40day of giving birth to our son cause he wants me to get prego fast for another baby. I don't mind but I know were supposed to wait..any thoughts..

My first 2 babies are only 10 months apart. My dr told me after my first that  I could have sex as soon as I felt I was ready.. I went to my 6week postpartum appointment and found out I was pregnant again. My body is fine I had very healthy pregnancies and my kids are best friends! There is 14 months between # 2&3 and im having my 4th child on friday there will be 19 months between this one and the 3rd. I have 1yr old, a 2yr old ,and a 3yr old and I'll have a newborn.  My point is its up to you! I wanted my kids close so they could all grow up together and it really is amazing.

I say it is between you and your BF... People will all have an opinion and few will agree with you.  There are just as many cases where it has worked out fine and mom and babies have been healthy getting pregnant right after birth of another baby as there are problems.  It doesn't increase the odds of miscarriage or preterm labor, those things happen for other reasons that no one has control over. And as said before, it will not decrease your milk supply if you choose to breastfeed.  If that's what you do you will not know any different and it will be great for you!!  Not for everyone, but for you and that's all that matters.  If you have stitches, you should wait for then to heal so you don't get them infected, my Dr always says that takes about 4 weeks.  Good luck with your decision momma... I wish you the very best!!

No not true it does not give preterm labor discuss with ur obgyn first but I hv had friends and sister get pregnant right after giving birth  and there babys are fine.. everyone is different ..depends on ur age and health but definitely can happen after the 40 days.. gd luck

Terrible idea! That causes miscarriages because your body is not ready to be pregnant again. The longer u wait the better

I agree with shortanddumpy1. I fell pregnant with this one when my first baby was only 10mths and its tougher then I imagined. I've had terrible morning sickness and I feel so guilty with my head down the toilet while he's tugging at my clothes to go play, or my husband having to do everything at night because I'm exhausted and in bed by 8pm. We really wanted them close together and planned this but you need to be prepared for it. Also, the first 6wks with a newborn are the hardest. You may not feel up to sex, and just need to give each other time to ease into your new roles of mum and dad.. As well as the risk of infection during that healing time. Lots to consider, I'd wait until the babies born before commiting to any family plans.
