Pregnant again?
Hi ladies, we welcomed our baby boy in July. I am exclusively breastfeeding, my period has not returned and we are not using contraception because we’d like to have another baby fairly soon after our son. Is anyone in this group pregnant again? If you are pregnant, how far along are you? I’m testing in the morning!

@Susan how long would you recommend waiting? I am turning 39 in Jan and we tried for a year before we conceived our son so we’d like to get a move on. My OB said I just needed to make sure my c-section scar is reliable.
Your OB knows best, so follow whatever advice they give! I also had a C-section and my doctor said earliest to start trying was 9 months, better would be a year. I had no complications, very fit and was in my mid 30s. He also stressed to me that there is no cliff when it comes to age, the risks just go up a little each year and that risk is very low if you already had recently a healthy pregnancy. Good luck! Having multiple kids is the best once they start to interact

I never got my period during breastfeeding, that is over 2.5 years now over three kids. Ours were born 20 months and 23 months apart. It's awesome they are so close, but so many things in your body need to heal that you don't realize from the outside, I honestly wouldn't recommend closer (if you test negative).
