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?

I had my children 11 months apart unplanned and breastfeeding! It happens. My kids are now 11 and 10 soon to be 12 and 11 they are so close if I get after one kid, the other one gets upset with me. It takes a lot of work and time management, having support is so important since your hormones haven't had a chance to go back to pre-pregnancy.
I had my baby in March and found out that same year I was pregnant again. I couldnt handle it so I terminated. It was horrible timing. If she is, I hope she has lots of help.
my youngest is currently 9 1/2 months old and i am currently 33 weeks pregnant with twins! i will say i am tired of being pregnant at this point but i love that my 3 youngest will be so close in age. if Jessica Simpson is pregnant again then congratulations to her and her SO! but i agree that she should be left alone to announce it on her own time and not have the media do it for her.
My 2 kids are 11 months and a couple weeks apart. I had my son Oct 4th 2009 and found out I was pg with my daughter in Dec. 2009... my daughter will be 2 on Sep. 15th and my son will be 3 on Oct. 4th. My due date with my daughter was Sep. 27th but was induced 2 weeks early due to her small weight. But all in all I love having my babies close together. my son is really protective of his baby sister!! It is cute. If i give him anything he always gives it to his sister. He always says sissy gets go first!! its beautiful. I had my tubes tied and I wouldn't want it any other way
if she is I do not thin she would be this big already I think it is a old picture
