Wanting Irish Twins

I just gave birth 9 weeks ago and I’m already wanting another. I got my first period a few days ago even though I am exclusively breastfeeding. Does this mean that I am fertile again? / Am I crazy for wanting to try for Irish twins?!?!

Yeah basically means you’re ovulating again and you can fall pregnant right away. I never had my first post partum period but I got pregnant right away anyways lol I’m currently 13 weeks and my baby boy is about to turn 4 months old 😂

I wouldn’t say you’re crazy but I’d just say be careful because there are risks involved. Talk to your OB about it!

Your 1st period can be just shedding of the uterus without an egg but your 2md will definitely have an egg associated with it. I would definitely look at the risks involved with the pregnancy being so close to the last. The risk of premature birth increases the closer you are to your last delivery. Doesn't always mean it will be an early term premie or you will even have a late term premie but the risks increase.

Yes you’re crazy but so are all of us that’s why we’re here haha. I’m 36 weeks with my second and my baby girl is 9months old. Girl I THOUGHT I wanted a second already. I was soooo down to be pregnant again, so ready for another baby as beautiful and wonderful and sweet as my daughter, now I’m at the end of the pregnancy, in constant pain, lowkey feeling like I neglected my daughter during the first year of her life because I’ve been too pregnant to bend into her play pin and in too much pain to chase her around the house when I put her on the floor. It’s exhausting. Im terrified of leaving her over night still and I’m more scared of leaving her for my labor than anything. That being said, I wouldn’t change it for the world. I had a moment around 12 weeks where I honestly considered getting an abortion because I thought it was too much and I couldn’t handle two but I’ve never been more grateful than I am for this experience. I’ve really learned how far I can go as a woman and a mom

And I think you really believe you want this you can do it. But everyone is gonna call you crazy and look at you funny. I’ve been asked if we’re just gonna have one a year until we’re done many times now😂🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️
