Not true! I got pregnant when my son was 8 months. Dr said they encourage 6 months between pregnancies, but most of the time it is fine. My friend got pregnant when her baby was 2 months. Everything was fine. Don't stress!
Quoting JayBearsmomma:
This is true
Quoting Ashleeduhh:
Google it. I know there are risks. Drs highly discourage having kids closer than 2 yrs apart.

I got PG real soon after my youngest and miscarried. They did not have home testing kits then and my doc would not test, told me I could not get PG while BF. Not even sure how far along I was, delivered 1st week in April, miscarried near end of July. Did not have enough milk for DD so had to wean her. She was such a handful when she was little, it was probably a blessing I did not have another one less than a year younger, but I really wanted that baby.

My son were born in the same years 10 months and 10 days apart. One in February and one in December. Let's just say when I went for my post partum check up it turned into a prenatal appt. My pregnancy went really well and yeah it was a little difficult having a newborn and being pregnant my body was ok. Congrats and good luck on your pregnancy :-)

I'm on a List for moms with lots of children (currently expecting #8 myself). My babies tend to be every two years, but a lot of moms have a baby a year. Thing is, pregnancy is a health *indicator*, not a health liability. It just means you are healthy and strong. I would be careful to eat very healthily, as you need extra nutrition for the tiny one in your womb, and i'm guessing you may still be nursing? My husband's brother is 16 mo younger than him, and both are healthy, strong, and smart! But enjoy this baby and this pregnancy! Your children will be so glad to have a sibling close in age :).

google it up!
However, several people have children very close together and don't face complications!
