Back to back pregnancy
Hello
I am 32 years old and I am currently 18 weeks pregnant with #5. I have a 12Y girl, 7Y girl, 3Y boy, 17 month boy. Call me crazy but I do want a big family. So i am wanting more kids. My husband is on board to having a big family. I am contemplating trying right away after giving birth to this one. Within the first 6 months after birth. Has anyone purposely done this and if so can you give me your story. I am needing some positive support for this journey. I do have a minor dilemma on how I am going to breastfeed. I have breastfeed all my kids to about the age of 2 years old. Also the other problem I face is just my hip pain through the pregnancy.

I’m 29 weeks pregnant with a 2 year old and a 1 year old No help here but also I’m the journey
I got pregnant when my daughter was 12 months and by 15 months I was completely out of milk! It felt bad to wean her off like that since my first daughter we also made it to two years nursing. But don’t feel guilty if you have to offer formula! I’m sure even 6 months of breastmilk will still be incredibly beneficial to your baby.
I didn't eat enough and dried up fully 5.5 months. So we decided to go for #2 since I was cycling again I got pregnant at 6 months pp

You can breastfeed through pregnancy and then tandem feed the baby and toddler. I'm going to have an 18m old when my next one is born so expecting to tandem. Although struggling with how painful pregnant breastfeeding is. The NHS advice is 12m between pregnancies because of risks such as premature birth, nicu time and others. But I only left it 9m and hoping it all turns out OK (that sounds a bit cavalier)
