Freaking Out (Possibly Pregnant Again, Too Soon)

[Ivy_sins]

So I had a surprise last year of finding out I was pregnant because of failed birth control. But I felt the baby was completely innocent and it was my fault that I took the risk of sex anyway, so I faced up to the task and went through with the pregnancy.

I now have a 7 week old daughter who I couldn't imagine not having and I love her more than anyone. heart

Here's the problem: I have not been able to get on birth control again yet (not sure what to get since I am breastfeeding), and my SO and I got caught up in a moment three days ago, turned off our brains, and started a romp in bed. He didn't pull out in time and finished while inside (no condoms, I am allergic).

I know breastfeeding is supposed to lower your chances of pregnancy, and I haven't had my after-delivery period yet to know anything for sure...but ever since we slept together, our dog, who normally doesn't want anything to do with me, has been doing what she did when I was pregnant with my daughter: following me, sniffing me, staring at me, and whining at me.

I don't know what to do -- I don't have the money to take on a second child this early, my family would try to deny me again because SO and I are not married, and I'm positive that if I had the baby, I wouldn't be able to deal with adoption because of hearing the little one's first cries.

I really don't want to have an abortion (I am crying just from the word) if I am pregnant, but I don't know what to do... cry

Anyone's help at all is appreciated...

as they are commonly known Irish twins are common but normally not easy to make. have you had your post pradum checkup yet? if so just wait a couple day and go to the doc and tell them what's up. if you ever need to talk though my inbox is always open. (btw i'm the mom of two with one on the way) also talk to your ob about the best type of bc while breast feeding many of the pills are safe because they can help the hormones that cause your milk to drop.

Mirena and Paragaurd are both safe to use while breastfeeding. As is any pill that does not contain estrogen.

Anyway. Just try to remain calm. Your dog may be acting that way because your hormones are still all wonky from the pregnancy. In 3-5 weeks, take a test and go from there.

I hope I didn't beat the odds and make one, then. cry I really don't know what I would do...
And thank you, I may take you up on that. :')

3 days is too soon to know naything. SPerm can be in your vag for up to 5 days, and there is NOTHING to really pick up on for a week or so afterwards. I dont think dogs are that good.

any time you need something just write. and don't cry i can tell you really don't like the idea of abortion and i commend you for that so many turn to it now. there are places now where if you are they can find a family before the baby is born and you spend lots of time with them through the pregnancy so you can get to know them and know the baby is going to a loving home and in many of these cases the families get so close that the birth parents get to stay involved in the child's life. so if you are and that's a really big if this early you could look into that. just don't let yourself stress to much cause first and foremost it could affect your milk production and second it could cause a missed period even if you're not preg again.

I thought about that, actually...I guess it might be easier that way, I just don't know (obviously, with no experience).
And okay; protecting my milk production is my incentive to work on not stressing a lot.

just think about your lil one you have now it'll help make not stressing easier. and the other poster was right your dog may just be picking up on where things are still a lil crazy from baby.

Didn't learn your lesson the first time, dear? You managed to get pregnant while on birth control and then proceeded to have sex without any BC. neutral

Take a pregnancy test in five weeks or so.

Do keep in mind that mothers who exclusively breastfeed their babies may not have a period for up to six months.

I know, that's whats worried me even more because I would have normally used that as a sign. confused But, we'll have to see in a few weeks...

[Sumomo4life]

Well lets hope your not pregnant ^^; but if you are i'd say keep it and work on the $ while you are pregnant ^^; there are places out there that can help you out with the money side and such. Good luck to you *hugs*

There are pregnant/breastfeeding safe birth control. You should have had this chat with your doctor at your six week checkup, and that theory of breastfeeding reducing the chance of pregnancy has been in question the last five years: recent guides and pamphlets now urge new mothers NOT to engage in unprotected sex. And for those with latex allergy there are sheepskin condoms. Again, something you should be talking to your doctor about.

Go to the doctor and ask for a blood test. If you are pregnant and you cannot afford it, then it's high time you think about abortion, which at this stage would take a pill and it expels the pregnancy over the course of about a week where you pretty much bleed it out. Considering going through with the pregnancy would be asisine as that's. Another $12,000 bill and then you have to deal with either keeping it or giving it up.

Find out if you are and just end it then get on the proper birth control and get sheepskin condoms.

I really dont think you're pregnant..
I dont think you even ovulate while you're breast feeding which is why you havent had a period.
