Re: Pregnant again

It took me 9months to conceive first time round

Pregnant again

Don't worry I've been in the same situation. It is worrying at the time but now that both children are a bit older I'm glad that it happened like that. My eldest is 4 and the youngest is 3! It helped my daughter to have someone to play with and share experiences with.. Don't be disheartened Allah does everything for the best
It is a daunting first few months but you will get through it!!!

Re: Pregnant again

There is no doubt MashAllah you ARE blessed. I have been waiting for this day for a long time now and still waiting.. pray for me!!

Re: Pregnant again

Happened with a relative of mine, 2 c-secs 15 months apart. It was slightly tough in the beginning but now the second one is older its smooth sailing for her now. The siblings are good friends and she's over the hassle of new borns and little babies routine

Re: Pregnant again

mA......and congratulations!
be thankful.....just think of others that are not so lucky and you will know that you are blessed.

there's no doubt that it will be difficult in terms of the work and energy you will need but as long as you have a support structure around you, even if that means a hubby that understands, you will be just fine.

do pay some extra atttention to your nutrition......consider taking some calcium supplements to prevent bone density loss and other common issues that affect women who have pregnancies close together.

may Allah make this easy on you and provide you with great joy in the end..... ameen.

Re: Pregnant again

Alhumdullillah for the blessing , there are several others who are desperately asking for this blessing , so please dont let Satan get you with negative thoughts .. you are truely being blessed in every way and you must thank Allah with all your heart and soul .. Inshallah He will make it all easy for you ..

It will be very hard and not an easy task , but like one of the posters said , once the kids grow up slightly , you will feel alot more relaxed and think of it this way, where you were gonna enjoy with one kid , now you will get ample opportunity to enjoy with two .. and the fact that they will the be same age group will lessen your burden so much ..

Congratulations once again and I hope inshallah you feel better for yourself and the expected one :hugz:

Re: Pregnant again

Awww thank u soo much for ur kind words everyone, they mean alot to me.

Alhumdulillah for his blessings i guess it was meant to be. Just pray i am able to cope with this inshallah x

Re: Pregnant again

Allah doesn't give us more than we can handle!!!! A big congrats for the news mashAllah, may Allah bless you with health and an easy labour and help you through their upbringing. You are in my duas.

Re: Pregnant again

Thank you

For all those have replied u dont undertand what ur words mean to me

Re: Pregnant again

Congratulations!
Dont worry you will definitely get through it :) Look at it this way, you're already in parenting mode (as your baby is small) and then both your kids will grow up together, so they'll have companionship and none of their clothes etc would be wasted too :p And you will definitely enjoy seeing both of them grow up together! Just pray for a healthy baby and easy pregnancy, and inshAllah everything will work out...hugs :)

Re: Pregnant again

Be happy....i know few couples waiting for kids for over 14 years. still no chance...

When your kids grow up tall, you will be in 40's.....time to enjoy....

I suggest make three more babies quickly....

Pregnant again

I was in the same situation my eldest daughter was 6months old when I was pregnant with my younger daughter and it was really really tough. I had normal birth so I can imagine your scared but inshallah you'll be fine.

I'm not gong to lie it is really difficult with both children being so young, they were both in nappies, weening, teething and a had to buy two of everything!! I had to get another cot as the eldest hadn't grown out of hers; I had to buy a double buggy and abandon the single one (which cost a bomb!) it was and still is very difficult (eldest is 3 and youngest is 2 now) but mashallah they are growing and Allah has blessed me with healthy happy children.

The problem now is that everyone keeps asking when I'm having a boy!! Not anytime soon.......

I'm in the same situation... My daughter is now about 11,5 months and I'm almost 4 months pregnant...it's going to be though but I think it's better to have a short gap instead if a big one... My nephew was 5 years old when my sister conceived her second son. My eldest nephew feels jealous all the time and wants attention from his mom. He doesn't even play with his younger brother...so it's better to have kids aghe piche.....

Re: Pregnant again

speak to your doctor right away about any extra care you might have to take with this pregnancy considering you just had a C a short while ago and your kiddo is only 7 months old. eat well, rest as much as you can, and be positive! you will probably need another C-section for the new baby considering it takes about 18 months for the body to heal after a C. the good thing though, is that you'll know exactly when the C will be planned for so no waiting around to go into labour.

and congratulations! :) it really is a blessing, no matter when it happens. have faith and be strong- you'll still get to do things with your daughter, but now you'll also have another little person to do the same with! yay! and even though it'll be hard initially, you'll get past that stage too and then it'll be awesome to be out of the "baby" stage altogether, in one go.

Re: Pregnant again

That is not essentially true for everyone. My kids are 4 and a half years apart and my son was a big help with the baby and they are close. My friend who had 2 kids a year and half apart however faced a different situation, the toddler was very jealous towards the baby and kept hitting her. My take on this is, everyone is different and there are pros and cons of every situation. To the original poster, best of luck. Just focus on your health and babies. Everything shall be fine Insha Allah. After all there are people who have twins as well.

Re: Pregnant again

Should've used protection if it's that upsetting?

Re: Pregnant again

mhmm yah
next time ladies use protection.
you know how babies are made if he doesn't have a condom on and you aren't on the pill then why assume you wouldn't get pregnant?

Re: Pregnant again

Mizz Khan MashAllah ur sooo blessed, i'd love to be in a situation like this :) In sha Allah.

May Allah keep u healthy & bless you with a healthy baby, Ameen!
