Well, today is Sept. 10. I am a little nervous at the moment. I might be pregnant again........Too soon. I went to the wic office on the 14th of Aug for my birth control.......gave me a test and I wasn't pregnant then. So they tell me to wait until my period starts again to start taking it. Well it should've started on the 29th of Aug...but it didn't. And it still hasn't. My husband and I used a condom everytime...and I'm hoping my body is just trying to adjust to not being on the pills for a while, and its just taking a little longer to start. I don't want to take a preg test because if I am pregnant that would def confirm it. What do I do? I am very nervous. We do want another child but just not so soon....My daughter is 16 months ande we were hoping to wait at least until she was potty trained to try again...........

What can I do next?

Not taking a pregnancy test won't make you un-pregnant, it will just keep you from knowing if you are. Take the test, and the sooner the better, especially if you don't want another child just yet. If you are pregnant, and don't want to have it, you need to know asap so that you can schedule an abortion before you're too far along.

I know exactly how you feel. I had the same problem, except my first child was only 3 months old when I became pregnant again. The health dept. gave me the wrong pill. But I can tell you, my kids are now 14 and 13 years old and it was good to have them grow up so close together. They form a special bond. It is hard, I will not tell you that it isn't, but it is manageable. Good luck.

Hi J., I got pregnant with my daughter when my son was 7 months old. I wouldn't have had it any other way! We had our third (surprise)when the 2nd was 2 and a half yrs old. Believe me, there are pros and cons to having another baby when their siblings are pretty much any age. If it is meant to be, it is meant to be! Let God be in control and you will find it much easier. Ask for guidance. His perfect timing is not our perfect timing...because for us there would never be a "perfect" time. Find out for sure, relieve your stress and enjoy whatever the outcome is.
Blessings to you,
C.

The more you obsess over the more your body might actually show signs of being pregnant even though you may not be. Our bodies are funny like that, the more we think we are pregnant and stress over it, the more our bodies show us the signs like no period and so on. I know it is scary but you should just take a test, that way you can be sure.

get the test. not knowing really doesn't hurt anyone but yourself. if it's positive you'll have more time to prepare, if it's negative you'll be able to relax!

if you start potty training now, you should be able to complete the process long before any newbie arrives in the case that you are preggers.

Well as scary as it is you definately cant run from it. You're doing better than I did. I got married and found out two weeks into the marriage that I was pregnant with our first. Then 3 months after my first son was born I found out I was pregnant with my second son. Big new -- I WAS ON BIRTH CONTROL BOTH PREGNANCIES.

If you are pregnant dont stress it. It might not be your perfect timing but it will still be great. Look at it this way that baby is part of you and part of you husband, you couldn't ask for a greater gift from God.

I am a stay at home mom now with my 21 month old and my 7 month old boys. The oldest is just now potty training but they are so close and it is wonderful. Just get over the shock and enjoy God's blessings.

hi J. if I were you I would take the test cause that way you will know for once and for all,and if you are pregnant great if not maybe you might need to see your Dr.Having a baby unexpectedly is not such a bad thing, neither my first baby was planned or this my second pregnancy.A baby is a beautiful gift to bring into the world and all they need is to know they are loved.
Good luck with everything

I have been late like that before - it can be stressful!! the stress can actually make you later!!! I know it seems silly, but if you think of it like this, maybe thigns will get movign for you! If you are pregnant that is just how it is and you have 9 months to prepare for your next bundle of joy. Potty training can begin as early as 18mos. ( we started then with my son) and they say girls are easier to train than boys!!!

Good luck - I hope things turn out the way that you want them to!

You cannot adequately deal with ANYTHING that happens in life unless you have information.

If you are pregnant and ignore it - you are asking for trouble.
If you are NOT pregnant and fret and fear you are - then you've worried for no reason.

If you are pregnant -and you confirm it - then you can make plans and prepare.

I say find out...
and I'll say a prayer.

Everything happens for a reason. If you are pregnant...then it was meant to be. It's not the end of the world. It may not be a perfect time but nothing is ever perfect. Take the test and accept the outcome. Everything will work out regardless of the outcome. Have faith!!!

J.,
I was in your situation not to long ago. Only I never expected to have any more. I was in training to move up in my job and everything. Long story short I took the test because if I was the baby needs to start getting vitamin as well as yourself. If you are you not knowing right now does nothing but put you under stress therfore the baby as well. Regardless of the situation a baby is agift from God. This is an exciting time. Don't let satin take that from you. It don't make matters any easier. Eventually you will be happy about it. Better sooner than later. Trust me. I am speaking from experience.
Good luck,
Stacy
ps. I have a 13 and 9 1/2 yr. old then a 19 month old.
Please let me know the results!

I would go ahead and take a pregnancy test just to be sure. I know you don't want to know right now if you are pregnant but one things for sure at least you will know either way. Worrying about it everyday and night can be stressful, and sometimes that type of stress can cause your body to have a mind of it's own.

I have a 3 year old daughter and one that's almost 7 months....and honestly I think I may have liked them being closer together in age.

Because there does come a time, when you look foward to them being able to do some things for themselves....that can free up some of your time...and sleep.....oh my goodness....I would have rather not slept for a couple of years hahah...then to not have slept...got use to kind of getting a good nights sleep to not sleeping again....

My husband wants to try for a boy because we have two girls, and honestly if we do this, i'd rather start trying by the time my 7 month old is a little over a year old.

I hope you don't continue to worry.
Things do happen sometimes despite are efforts to control them. If you can get the courage do a test and if it's not positive you can laugh about it later.

J.,

My name is T. and I know exactly how you feel. My husband and I were in the same situation a year ago. We had given birth to a beautiful baby boy named Caleb in March. Waiting to get back on the pill after nursing and found out when he was four months old that we were going to have another baby. We too were going to wait until he was potty trained to have another baby, but you know things just don't always work out like we would like for them too. There is a bigger picture. If you are pregnant then they will by two years apart and that is a wonderful age difference. My two boys are 13 months apart. It has been hard but everyday is getting easier. Just remember that babies are gifts and that God is just loaning them to us for the purpouse that He has for them....!!! I know whatever it turns out to be that you and your husband and baby will all be just fine. :)

Putting off testing won't make it go away. Just bite the bullit take the test and if it's neg. Your body will relax and period should start. If you are preg. Then you'll just have to deal with it the way god has intended your life to be. No matter what you will be excited & disappointed either way. Your a loving mom and that maternal instinct will kick in.
Good luck and hope it works out either way.

answers from Little Rock on

My first 2 kids are 3yrs 9 months apart, and my 2nd two are 26months apart, so i got pregnant when she was 18 months. If you wait till she's potty trained, you'll be starting all over. I think it's a little easier just having two in diapers for a while. Actually my daughter potty trained herself when the baby was 4 weeks old. I guess she was ready to be a "big" girl. Esp. since you have a girl now, girls are really good with babies, so I wouldn't worry. Everything happens the way it's suppose to if you just have faith and trust God. If you are pregnant, you won't ever be able to imagine it any other way. I would go ahead and take a test before you get too worried though just in case you're worrying for nothing. Then, if you are, you'll be able to get mentally prepared. Good luck.
