It absolutly is not. Both for the long term health and future fertility of the mother, and for the resulting children.It's not healthy to have kids so close together but they don't even use car seats so fuck safety I guess.
What are the risks of spacing pregnancies too close together?
Research suggests that beginning a pregnancy within six months of a live birth is associated with an increased risk of:
Premature birth
The placenta partially or completely peeling away from the inner wall of the uterus before delivery (placental abruption)
Low birth weight
Congenital disorders
Schizophrenia
Maternal anemia
In addition, recent research suggests that closely spaced pregnancies might be associated with an increased risk of autism in second-born children. The risk is highest for pregnancies spaced less than 12 months apart.
Closely spaced pregnancies might not give a mother enough time to recover from pregnancy before moving on to the next. For example, pregnancy and breastfeeding can deplete your stores of nutrients, particularly folate. If you become pregnant before replacing those stores, it could affect your health or your baby's health. Inflammation of the genital tract that develops during pregnancy and doesn't completely heal before the next pregnancy could also play a role.
I dont want to PL too much, but I feel like real life examples are sometimes good in conversations like this. My OBGYN recommended waiting at least 12-18 months before getting pregnant again. I had a totally uncomplicated vaginal birth. Exercised throughout pregnancy, drank a ton of water, took the best prenatels with extra calcium, etc. And after just one pregnancy/birth, I still ended up with a slightly loose molar due to calcium loss in my jaw. Pregnancies drain so much in terms of nutritional elements from the mothers bodies, even in the best conditions.
Now think of poor Nurie, who was already exceptionally thin pre-pregnancy, did not have a nutritionally sound diet, and has been forced to have back to back pregnancies without time to recover her nutritional stores.
And thats just the metobolic side of things.
Pregnancy is ROUGH on your body. It will go through some drastic physiological changes in order to accomidate a fetus, and it takes time to heal and return to normal. The risk of uterine, bladder, or rectal prolapse increase with each birth, and the muscles to keep things in place take longer to heal each time. The ligaments of the pelvis must shorten and return to normal, the abdominal wall needs to tighten and close back up due to stretching and possible abdominal separation (Diastasis recti). The uterus may even run the risk of rupture and death of the mother if not enough time has passed between births.
I feel so bad for Nurie.
