I dunno if this counts as close together pregnancies but I've got pregnant with the last 3 children when the one before them was 5-6months old. Ive found that I got a lot more tired and got the 'Im over being pregnant' feelings earlier (prob round 36 weeks). I also found that just after having baby it was harder in the beginning with another one still quite young and needing everything done for them. It did work out great in the end just took a while to get into a decent routine for everyone. I guess it will be the same this time round - my advise for after the birth - go with the flow.]]> Mon, 21 Sep 2009 12:35:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28781&PID=781481&title=pgs-close-together#781481 <![CDATA[pgs close together : sorry no advise here but just...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28781&PID=781469&title=pgs-close-together#781469 Author: HoneybunsMa

Congrats nonetheless.

hi there i was preg with ds2 when ds1 was 3mths
my edd for ds2 was 2 days after ds1's edd, lucky for me ds1 was 2wks early and ds2 was 2wks late so i manage to gain a month between bdays. though with ds2 it ment i was preg for an extra 4wks.

nothing about pregs were diff at all there were exactly the same i got false labour starts with ds2 which is apparently normal with 2nd babies.
tummy muscles were strong with both as i rode horses almost daily. wasnt til ds3 was on the way when i stopped riding and lost my stomach muscles still havent regained those lol and 24wks with ds4 im not expecting to for a while.

Congratulations!

Mine weren't too close together either, got pregnant when Jack was about 10 or 11 months old I think but I noticed the m/s was a lot worse because I couldn't take the time in the mornings to ease myself out of bed etc. Also got really tired and yeah, iron stores were low too but mainly because I wasn't eating ANYTHING let alone eating well.

Hope it all goes well, you'll love the age gap down the track (maybe not so much in the first wee while )]]> Sat, 19 Sep 2009 20:32:21 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28781&PID=780286&title=pgs-close-together#780286 <![CDATA[pgs close together : Hi, congratulations!

Hi, congratulations!
I got pregnant the 2nd time round when no. 1 was 10mths old and am pregnant again, we concieved when no.2 was 5mths old. You will need to watch all your vitamin stores but especially your iron as most of the other ladies have mentioned. You'll be so much more tired this time than before but you'll also be so busy you won't have time to obsess about each part of your pregnancy - makes it go a lot faster! My only advice is to rest as much as you can (ha! I mean if you can) and do your pelvic floor exercises!!!]]> Sat, 19 Sep 2009 18:56:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28781&PID=780200&title=pgs-close-together#780200 <![CDATA[pgs close together : Congrats.

I dont really have much advice either.

Ohh ditto to this!

This time my iron was TERRIBLE, I ended up being admitted to hospital at 36 weeks for an Iron Infusion, not very pleasant!
And my tummy muscles have seperated a bit or something, it was a bit tender in places once I got really big. I just need to wear a tummy band thingy to make them fuse back together.
