Here's something that will give you more than a pregnant pause -- word has it that Jessica Simpson might be pregnant again. Already. I know!
She just gave birth to Maxwell Drew in May, and it's only now August. Could it really be true? Sources say yes, and that it's the reason why she hasn't been shedding the baby weight. The sources are coming from Star magazine, which is far from reliable, but the fact is it could easily be true, and it's not as crazy as it sounds.
She was pretty clear that she wasn't about to wait to have sex with hubby Eric Johnson after giving birth -- not even for the recommended six weeks. And it's not like she'd be the first to have babies so close together. Remember Tori Spelling?
Dr. Elizabeth Lyster told the tabloid that such closely spaced pregnancies are more common than you'd think. "Many women come into their six-week postpartum checkup already pregnant, because they assumed they couldn't conceive again so soon."

Jessica certainly loved being pregnant the first time, saying, "Pregnancy was meant for me. I could be pregnant forever." And she has certainly made it known that she wants more children and lots of them. So if it is true, I'm sure she's thrilled.
While it would be a bit daunting to do it all again so soon, I can see plenty of benefits to having kids so close together. I actually wanted mine as close together as possible because I thought it would be easier that way with them in similar stages. I could just be a zombie for a couple of years and then emerge.
Infertility had a different plan for me, and my children are five and half years apart, which also has benefits, but that bounce back into babyhood/zombie land hit me hard. It was a big adjustment, and three and half years later, I'm just beginning to feel human again. I wouldn't change it for the world now, of course, but if Jess gets her "Irish Twins" I would be thrilled for her.
Gossip Cop firmly rejects the rumor that Jess is pregnant again, but I wouldn't be surprised if she is. If not now, I bet she will be soon.
Do you think Jessica Simpson could be pregnant again? Would you want to/have you had babies that close together in age?

or maybe shes just a normal woman who doesnt drop all her baby weight in 4 months.
My brother and I are Irish twins. Ironically we are also both Gemini's. My mom was told she was infertile and she and my dad tried for years before she finally became pregnant with me. After I was born, she got pregnant a mere 3 months later. She cried when she found out, because she wasn't ready yet. Later she was more appreciative of us being so close in age and it helped me and my brother too.
More power to her.. I have 4 and all of my boys are 3yrs apart which in my opinion was perfect! They're out of diapers when the new one arrived, they had their turn to be the baby, they understand more, they're almost off to preschool, the list goes on and on but when my 3rd son was 1, my IUD failed and I became pregnant and carried through with the pregnancy and he turned 2 February 4 and she was born May 8 2012 and it has been a trip! I can't imagine them being closer nor being pregnant while having a newborn but again she has the money and the help so I'm sure she'll be great! Plus, as far as body goes... makes more sense to me to get pregnant again right away rather than get your pre-baby body back and then destroy it all over again.
My first three kids are really close together I had my first 03/03/00, my second 12/18/00, and my third 01/13/02- so I had three in less than two years. The good thing is that they've always been really close and are very protective and caring with each other. I just had my fourth 01/28/12, so there's a ten year gap between my last two. I was not prepared for how difficult it would be to readjust to life with a baby, but it's also nice that he's the only baby and we all get to spoil and love him.
What the crap! Me and my fiance are trying for a daughter and we've been trying for like 6 months and she gets pregnant that quick? Darn her.
Whoa lady! Let the parts cool off before you go revving the engine again! lol Good luck to her if she is though...she'll need it :-p
