those of you that have your children VERY close together ( less than 2 years)
Did people question you when you said you were pregnat with number 2? If you didnt go around telling people youwere trying did people automattically assume it wasnt planned??
This is one of my biggest fears, dont ask me why i care what others think but i do. Anyway we WANT them anywhere between 18-30 months apart. Then i just found out someone we know had a baby in november and is 3 months pregnant again. Now i did EXACTLY what i feared peopel would do to me and said wow that must not have been planned.( said to mysefl not teh person) I felt so terrible thinking that since thats exactly what i dont want people to think about me. Anyway i guess i am feelign guilty for thinking that way. It immediately went out of my head and i said who cares if it was was planned or not but i just had an initial reaction of wow thast was fast. Did peopel have that reaction towards you?

Re: those of you that have your children VERY close together ( less than 2 years)
my kids are exactly 20 months apart to the day. my first was only 11 months old when i got pregnant again. it was completly NOT planned. and yes i heard all the dumb comments "that was fast", "you didnt waste any time", the look of shock on some peoples faces including family. but i couldnt care less!! After i found out that the age gap was perfect for me. i wouldnt have changed a thing.

Re: those of you that have your children VERY close together ( less than 2 years)
Mine children will be about 21 months apart -
We got pregnant when DD turned one and planned it -
I really didn't think to care what other people may say - we didn't get negative comments at all from others - some were surprised that we got pregnant again so soon - but we got positive reactions and most of the people/ family said how nice it would be that the kids will grow up together but i also have been getting comments on how difficult it will be to have 2 small kids at home - which is true - i know its not going to be easy and they both will require alot of attention - but its what we wanted.
Its no one's business to know if it was planned or an accident and any one that gives you any negative reaction is just plain ol'jealous.

Re: those of you that have your children VERY close together ( less than 2 years)
My boys are 17 months apart and all I heard was "ARE YOU CRAZY?!"
But now, most of those people who had something to say see me out of the baby stage, never having to be pregnant again (unless I choose to be, which I don't), with 2 children who entertain each other and wish they had had their children quickly too!

Yes, I got a lot of "Wow, that was fast" or "You didn't waste any time" or "You're going to be busy"
At first it was annoying, but you get used to it. It's one of many things I find people have opinions on. What can you do?

Same here.
People asked all of the time. I would come up with creative answers like
"I didn't know THAT"S how people got pregnant!" or "Yup, sex with a purpose"

Gianna and #2 will be 14 months apart. When we announced we got reactions anywhere from "congrats, that's great they will be so close" to " You're going to have your hands full"
hardly anyone asks if this pg was planned-that's just plain rude to ask in my opinion.

Re: those of you that have your children VERY close together ( less than 2 years)
mine were a year apart to the day.
I don't care what anyone thought--if they had the nerve to ask if it was a accident I said nope-it was planned and if I could have they would have been even closer--its true.
people have nerve...
and sorry..i don't think there is such thing as a accident..if u do not use protection its not a accident...jmho
