I got pregnant with my 2nd after 6 months...your body is young enough and I would think strong enough to cope, I know someone who has had 5 children all sections and the last 2 were close together and she was fine...how you feeling about it? At least ur get all your children out the way when your young and be a young mum when your older! Congratulations xx

My mum had 5 children between the age of 19 and 29! I'm sure you will be fine. People tend to worry after 5 births, but I'm sure they will keep a closer eye on you xxx

the first thing it try not to worry

you get worried and you stress your baby, not matter how tiny he/she is.

look after yourself, try some exercise if you dont do it now, pilates from pregnat mums is usually relaxing and strengthens your musles (esp the abs)

walk a lot, summer is almost there!

eat well, drink lesssssss and enjoy your pregnancy. dont worry about it, let it happen naturally

and ask for contraception if you dont want more

hope it works for you!!

Hi Congratulations How do you feel about it in yourself?

I agree with "thesecondtime"Try not to worry to much about how your body well cope, I have a family member who as 5 and shes only 28, Think doctors only tend to worry if your body hasnt coped well in previous pregnancies (how did yours go?) Either way they will look after you and give you the help and support you need. Also did you have a section or VB with your youngest? I know a few people who have had children close together and the second following a section was abit more painful (including myself) my daughter is almost 5 and I am 25weeks pregnant I am getting ligament pain and scar tissue pain from where I have not healed properly internally after having my section. So it is important to look after yourself if yogo isnt for you, like its not for me try swimming even if its 1 hour once a week it helps, and although later on regular walking might be painful its important to stay healthy.

If your really worried the best person to speak to is your GP tell them your concerns and they will put your mind at rest.

Good luck xx
