18 months? 
my kids are 11 months apart. Sounds like you have the wrong fucking dr.
Me and my sister are 6 days brim being a year apart. My mom never mentioned any issues. And we were so close growing up. Girl it’s your decision, and she should def not judge you.
I got pregnant 4 months post partum. If she’s a bitch about it or puts you down switch providers
Honey it’s your body and the good Lord made the decision to go to your doc and tell her also no lectures when’s the blessed event gonna happen.

I have 4 kids. First 2 are 16 months apart. 2nd 2 are 13 months apart. People do it all the time. Your doctor should never make you feel this way. Find a new doctor.

My brother and I are 13 months apart 
your body, that’s only a recommend time frame because your body needs time to heal. And unless you were Hugh risk you should be fine. But go to a doctor because prenatal care is vital even when so early along

Your son is 3 months old and your pregnant again?!? Omg. How are you feeling? Is this what you want. Never mind the doctor. That’s a huge undertaking. If you want o bet you can do it! And if you want then she has no say!
My sisters are almost exactly a year apart, and my mom said that all of her pregnancies were pretty low-key. Idk. But everyone is different. The body does take quite some time to heal up from pregnancy and birth though. It’s a big deal! But this isn’t uncommon, and people make it happen just fine. I wouldn’t worry too much. Particularly about what other people think. They’re not the ones going through it.
You have no reason to be ashamed, the doctor is not there to judge you but to.help you, if she does not find another

If you had a c section I would understand where the doc is coming from. There’s lots of complications from that. But hey it happens. Your kids will be close in age which is so lovely to see them be best friends. Best to tell doc asap so they can monitor you closely for your sake and baby. Congrats hun.
My sister and I are 11 months apart. My mom turned out fine with zero complications🤷♀️ every pregnancy is different though! As far as the dr, I’d tell her to stick it where the sun don’t shine. I get that it’s more of a health risk wise, but there’s no taking it back. What’s done is done, so either the dr get on the pregnant train with you or drop her and find a new OB.

Get a new doctor. If she’s tense around talking about birth control, maybe she’s having fertility issues or someone close to her is, or just some situation you don’t know about. It’s normal to get pregnant soon after giving birth, millions of women on this planet do it, you weren’t stupid and your family, your choice. Just go to a walk in clinic and ask to be referred to a new obgyn

I got pregnant ON the 18 month mark 
Tell her it’s a gift from God . Nothing to do with her really . Be happy
Its your business. Change doctors.
It’s okay. Don’t worry. You will be fine.
Can you get another Dr. ? This one doesn’t sound capable of seeing you thru what could be a trying pregnancy. Can’t imagine things going well with a Dr. who judges and intimidates you.
My children are a year & 8 days apart, so I got pregnant with my second when my first was 4 months old. My doctor was one of the biggest supporters in my opinion, I think that’s how it should be, not the other way around. No complications with my second pregnancy a tad more back pain but she is perfect! I’d probably try to wait a little bit longer but would definitely do it all over again!
Sou is like you need to figure out what causes pregnancy (hint: it’s not really the water)

With my first born I had a c section
17 months later I had a natural birth
19 months later I had another natural delivery
I had terrible nausea thru out my pregnancies. I would throw up sometimes 7 to 8 times a day. Lived on coke polony and doritoes… Cz it was was the only stuff that would actually stay down. But guess what… We all survived!
Just take the day as it comes.
Go to a doctor you are comfortable with and who can provide u with the support and guidance u need at this time
Don’t keep seeing a dr who is shitty to you. You deserve better. Everyone deserves better
She needs to be your doctor and not judge you for ANYTHING!
Screw your doctor, her job is to help you medically not judge and shame you!
Why is that her business? Is it that it was a professional recommendation not to get pregnant before a certain time because if health reasons etc? If so then yeahbid be nervous to tell my doc but I’d be more nervous that I put myself at risk So I’d go to doc to make sure and get best pre natal care as early as possible for myself baby. Don’t over stress abt it. In the end you’re an adult so your decisions are yours to make
When I brought my newborn home from the hospital, I had a newborn, a one year old , and a two year old! They were all c sections! But what I found out about 20 years later is that I had graves disease. The thyroid hormone is carried by the same protein as estrogen. So when I was in my 20’s I was full of hormones. Perhaps you are too. Doctors do not want to test for thyroid disease!!
Your doctor is not the one raising your children. And as far as these people being negative. You don’t even know them. They will never see your children. A child is a blessing from God. Never regret being pregnant at anytime. You are a married woman. And you have a husband to help you. Life is what you make it for your family. Not everyone else’s.

Your doctor is just looking out for you. But she would want the best and this baby that’s on it’s way. Go get a check up. It’s never to early to make sure everything is ok. Bless you and your family. My first three babys are all a year apart. All born healthy and strong. Had a great doctor whos only thought is to inform you on keeping up your strength and rest when you can.
My 2nd child was literally 2 weeks old when I got pregnant with my 3rd child… And then my 3rd was born 3 weeks early, so my 2 middle children are 9 months and 3 weeks apart. It will be fine and if your doctor is making you feel uncomfortable or nervous, then find another doctor.

First of all, Congratulations! No reason to be embarrassed, so maybe it was an unplanned pregnancy, & people will have all kinds of thoughts & opinions on it. Who cares!

I didn’t wait 18 months after my first c section it turned out fine u will just have to take more precautions then last time. And you should never be nervous or scared or embarrassed to tell your doctor anything (sounds like the doctor may not be your best fit)

I am right now. Which puts me at maybe 7 months tops after having my little girl…
I was a nervous wreck when I found out and freaked out! Luckily I go to a very down to earth and amazing midwife. She was like well these things happen. After the ultrasound she was like well usually we do alot of ultrasounds this close together to monitor the baby but everything looks absolutely perfect. I have absolutely no worries. Exactly what she said. My last little one I had bleeding and was anemic but everything was fine. This time…no bleeding, not anemic…so even though there can be some issues with some people…it doesn’t always happen and I am proof. If your doctor makes you that intimidated…ask around and find a new one. That’s what I would do. Took me a few doctors my last pregnancy until I found an amazing one. Good luck with your little one❤

I’m thinking maybe a different doctor would be in order. A doctor shouldn’t be judgmental. I was told after having my second child I was to fat by my OBGYN. He said his wife had 5 kids and she always lost the weight right away, and was very fit. Got myself a new doctor. I know mine is not a popular opinion but this woman needs understanding not shame.

My doctor told me 2 years. It would take 2 years for all the scar tissue to heal fully. The day my oldest turned 5 months old, I took a pregnancy test & bam. I told my doctor, she gave me the disappointed doctor face, then proceeded to do her job. I’m not entirely sure of your situation, but if for any reason having a baby so soon could be complicated in any way then you need to just suck it up and face her, so she can do her job to ensure you and baby are both healthy.

My friend had s c section and her boys are literally 11 month apart. She was pregnant before her check up And all went well
2 years is the time frame they want to see, especially if you had a Caesarean. I had one and they were adamant with me to wait two years because that’s how long it would take for me to completely heal from surgery. Now my husband’s cousin got pregnant within a year of a c section and was fine, though the doctor was pissed at first. But they only get disappointed because it creates a higher risk for problems. And it takes time for the body to replenish its supplies. Pregnancy takes a lot out of us, literally. I’m about to have my second kid, and my first is 7, and I’m still drained. But you need to be going to the doctor. Especially with it being so soon after. You’re at a higher risk for issues, and they need to be able to be ahead in case anything should arise.

I’ve known a lot of people who got pregnant less than the time frame their doctor was happy with. But it’s her job to care for you and your baby not to pass judgment.
You should find another doctor that you’re more comfortable with.

Well fuck then find a new dr. No one especially your dr should be judging you in that manner. Like shit happens. Now it’s not like you planned on it. Like shit I have a cousin which I’m super embarrassed of that wants a HUGE family and she’s literally gotten pregnant on purpose days after giving birth so after her 5th child back to back the drs tied her tubes. On top of that she literally does not take care of these children.

My older sister and I are 11 months apart. Congratulations on the new baby I’m currently expecting my 4th but my youngest is 21 months old so he’ll be 2 before this little one gets here in July. Don’t let a doctor scare you if they do find a new doctor
I got pregnant with my 3rd daughter at 3 months after having my second daughter. The doctor gave me that look but he was mostly worried about gestational diabetes because my second daughter was early but a big kid!! They’re a year and a day apart but they’re perfect!! If you’re okay and happy and healthy, that’s all that matters!!
I wouldnt be embarressed at all. If she doesnt like it then brush it off, but just keep in mind she needs to be doing her job and not judge u for getting pregnant again. If she still makes u uncomfortable then change to someone else. Nothing says u have to stay just because. But enjoy it, be happy, and know that you have little ones that you love so very much and yes they may have been unplanned but that doesnt make a difference at that moment and never feel bad for it. They are your babies and you were meant to be there mom. Enjoy it and congrats…
Look, it’s your body, your choice. If your doctor is professional enough she’ll move past the disappointed demeanor and start a plan. The baby is what’s important here.
Well the reason they say for you to wait is because of what it does to your body. I didn’t even had sex until my kid was 4-5 months however I had major complications with pregnancy and also broke my tailbone and tore really bad because I delivered an elephant. 8pounds 3 punches and I was induced because of preclampsia. Not to mention the cost of having two in diapers and on formula

My daughter and son are 11 months apart there very close I age but close relationship also they fight like cats and dogs but lost without one another , my family wasn’t happy at first but they got over it it was already done nothing anyone could do and they wouldn’t have changed a thing in the end and I Dr can only speak there advice for best intentions from medical point I’m sure it’s better to wait however happens more often then ppl think
I got pregnant when my son was 6 months old.
My last two kids are 14 months apart.
My older sister did and she felt the same way but you gotta do what ya gotta do
My kids Are 17 months apart after a C/S. No one gave me a bad time. Find a new Dr.
I had 3 10 months apart…its hard…but hey if u up to go for it…i had complications with all 3…one came month early.one had no fluid in bag…all were breech… But they happy healthy…god is good…i was 41 at time I had 3 10 months part…my other 2 it’s 18 year difference
I think if you are too nervous to be able to open up to your doctor you shouldn’t be seeing that doctor. The point of a doctor is to be able to openly discuss things like this with them and any medical concerns if they want to be judgmental and make you feel uncomfortable about whatever choices or accidents you may have made that’s not very professional and I would definitely be trying to find a different doctor.

I have had close to 10 miscarriages. I have a genetic mutation that causes them. I just had my rainbow baby 5 months ago. My doctor encouraged me if I wanted 1 more to try asap. I don’t think you have anything to be embarrassed about. Congrats! My sister had Irish twins last year. One in Jan 2018, one in Dec 2018. I understand everyone’s body is different but don’t be embarrassed!

You don’t need your doctor’s approval of when to have kids. Yes you need to let your body heal from pregnancy. Doctors are supposed to advice you and guide you not judge you ! I get a new doctor.

My first and second where 3 1/2 years apart and my second was 5 months old when I went to the Dr cause everyone was convinced I had post pardon depression but end being pregnant with twins I didn’t have any problems as far as the pregnancy went but the twins had twin to twin transfusion
My son was 6mnths when I got preg again. Their job is to keep you and baby alive and safe. They have their opinion and literature but you are the ultimate. If it’s bad enough, i would look for a diff doc.
You’ll feel a lot better if you take someone with you to the doctor’s office. Don’t go it alone. Take your other half, mom or friend. Just insist that they accompany you into the room. You’ll be fine and your doctor will get over it.
well it appears as tho your more scared of the dr. them being pregnant. i understand the dr. thot process but she should not judge u… and for u another gift from god!
This is your life and your body and he is being paid to serve you with medical attention thats it. He is not your authority. If he makes you feel this uncomfortable you need to find another obgyn
Congrats! First I guess you need a doctor that doesn’t give you these feelings. Maybe it’s you more then the doctor that is more worried. Can’t go back so just move forward follow Dr. Advise. I’m sure your Dr. Will take very good care of you and as long as you take care of yourself everything will be fine. Your not the first or will be the last to get pregnant to soon.
I am the eldest of 3. We are 18 and 19 months apart. All 3 pregnancies were healthy. If you are truly uncomfortable with your dr, find a new one. You should be able to be open and honest with your dr without fear. Babies are precious…so many women fight like hell to have one, and you’re surprised and blessed with another one. This bundle of joy is nothing to be embarrassed about! Congratulations Momma!
No doctor should make you feel as if you can’t tell them something like this.
Fuck her, get another doctor.

There are very specific reasons why you’re not supposed to have babies within a time frame after you have had a caesarean. Just like after caesarean, sex is out of the question for 6 weeks. They cut your uterus open. This makes the wall of your uterus weak. Miscarriages are higher in numbers when its not within a safe timeframe of having a caesarean. Miscarriages also put the mother at risk as well, not just the fetus. Another reason, your OB was swimming in your intestines and other bodily organs. They have to feng shui your organs in order to get the baby out. So not only is your uterus suffering from surgery, but all of your organs as well. Those are the reasons your doctor warned against having another baby prior to the 18 months.
With that said, your doctor should not belittle you for becoming pregnant before the time frame is up. My OB was so adamant about me not having kids anymore at all when I wanted my tubes tied that I almost said never mind because it pissed me off. (Mind you, it wasn’t my normal OB just a fill in for my appointment) If she presents any problems, then just ask for a new OB or find a new facility.
My boys are the same age for 8 days every year. All was fine. You should never be scared of your doctor. If you are, she’s not the one for you.
My children are the same age for one month. I had a C-section with my first son so I couldn’t have a vaginal with my others. I got pregnant 4weeks after my C-section and as far as your doctor goes she will be ok. Don’t ever be embarrassed 
Girl fuck her if she doesn’t like it take your business elsewhere
My daughters, my sister and I, and my mother and her sister are all 11 months apart from our sibling. If you feel your doctor is judging you, change your doctor. She shouldt get upset because you got pregnant again it happens, especially after a birth you’re more fertile. And its bot stupid od you, so stop saying that. You’re not stupid, and that baby isnt a mistake. Hopefully it’s the same sex as tour first child, so you wont have to bye anything new. Enjoy, and it’ll be fun (until they start talking back, lml)
