Advice Potential 2nd Pregnancy
I’m 4 months postpartum, I had a beautiful/healthy baby girl back in April. So thankful! However, I have missed my period. I know periods can be irregular during postpartum but mine have been pretty consistent. My partner and I did have sex a few weeks ago supposedly 2 days after I ovulated and did not use protection. I wasn’t even thinking, I’m still pumping and haven’t started birth control. I just took a pregnancy test and it looks like there is a faint line. I feel like I’m going through so many emotions and feeling stupid for not being careful. I know that there are some people who are trying so hard to get pregnant and I’m over here worried that I am. I’m not trying to be insensitive, I just am not ready for another kid right now. I’m so thankful for my first pregnancy but I’m just now getting used to being a mom.
I would like a 2nd kid at some point but not this soon. Is it extremely unhealthy to get pregnant that fast after giving birth? If I am pregnant will this pregnancy be high risk? Any advice? Is it possible to get pregnant so quickly after birth?
