Ok so first of all I thought it was saying they had a 2 week old baby and a separate 7 month old baby, eventually it twigged they meant 7 1/2 month old baby.
Three babies at once is a lot of babies and I'm guessing Oop has blocked because they don't want to be drawn into helping out

A coach on my daughter's sports team has twins in their junior year and a third child in his sophomore year. I do not get the impression her twins were redshirted from starting kindergarten or that she rushed her youngest into kindergarten early because she said she would have 3 drivers by spring... its been a major commitment, especially when the third kid decided to rebel and join different sports and activities than the twins. The plan was to have the twins driving to their shared activities and my daughter's coach wouldn't be constantly shuttling kids... nope 😬 we have agreed that the best time for the youngest to assert their independence from the twins is now when the twins can get around at least independently.
Her youngest was planned because she hates small children and wanted to be done with 0-3 years old as soon as humanly possible.

Am one. Parents also made us be in the same grade, on all the same teams/activities, do all the same shit. Kinda sucked, cause we were superlatively different and neither of us got to stretch out and breathe for ourselves, i imagine some actual twins feels this way. My brother was the older one, and he still had that older brother ragging on younger brother thing going on (but like, an extra special version of that), there was no advantage to putting me around him so much. I was smarter and made friend better, so my older brother got overshadowed by his younger brother, no advantage to him in all this either. We both got treated like we were 2 copies of a thing that neither of us actually was, good times.

It's medically and socially unlikely as well as downright crazy that they would've conceived a new baby after having had a preemie, only to have the second one be a preemie too - how can they have a 7 month old and a 2 week-old? Gestation is 9 months, you're looking at 10 months between kids when you're having them back to back.
So they already have a kid that's 7.5 months old and twins on the way.

They are married, a lot of couples will try to get pregnant as quickly as possible after having their first baby so that they will have a sibling of a close age as possible.
The fact they’re having twins means one of them has the twin gene, so one of the parents may be a twin, so they were probably even hoping for twins on the first go.
I can’t speak to how they feel about having twins now but the second pregnancy wasn’t an accident.

Note that's the minimum for a vaginal birth with no complications. The time is significantly increased with a C-section or complicated birth resulting in a lot of tearing. With complications, surgery, and trauma, it could be over a year.
I went to a school with a nursing program. I heard more than a handful of stories of men who had to be pulled off of their partners immediately after birth. (I also heard one story about a husband who demanded oral sex during the birth, which I desperately hope was an exaggeration.)

The math maths, though it’s a little scary. Six months pregnant typically means six months from a missed period, so you’d expect they probably started doing the deed about eight weeks or so after the birth of the child. You’re medically cleared for sex at that point, but I can say it wasn’t doable for me at that time. When I see someone get pregnant that fast, I worry that it’s possible the husband might be forcing her.
Breastfeeding is also supposed to make it harder to get pregnant right away, but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible.

Yeah 3 babies under a year is... A lot. Definitely means they're going to block because it's almost a guarantee that the sibling is going to reach out for help, especially with two newborns.
Handling one baby is already tough on sleep, so adding two more and starting the process over is going to be just awful. No adult is going to get any sufficient sleep. If the mom is breastfeeding it's going to be worse.
I had two kids 15 months apart, so 2 under 2. Essentially any baby/toddler that needs constant attention is going to drain on their parents and sleep is a pipe dream.

It’s safer for the mom and kid to take at least a year, preferably two, between pregnancies. This allows the mom’s body to recover and build up nutrients to nurture the pregnancy, including folate. A second pregnancy within a year is more likely to have complications and health risks.

Some say you are even more likely to get pregnant shortly after giving birth. When I was post partum, prior to getting nexplanon, I was bleeding every 2 weeks... which could have meant I was ovulating every 2 weeks. Hormones are all out of wack for at least a year after giving birth. And contrary to popular belief, breastfeeding is not a garunteed effective form of birth control.

I tell you what, you get three babies in one house, and the only thing louder than the cryin' is the sound of common sense packin' its bags and movin' to a quiet condo. Of course they blocked the fella. OOP's not bein' rude, he's beinin' a tactical genius.
You let 'em draw you into that, and next thing you know, you're over there at 2 a.m. holding a colicky infant while someone explains the difference between "oat" and "rice" cereal to you. It's a humanitarian crisis, not a favor. A man's got to know his limits, and the limit is one, maybe two babies at a time, provided they're properly supervised and not infringin' on your mowing schedule.
Yep.

The earliest you can have sex after giving birth is 6weeks. So the second they could get it on, they did and got pregnant. Swear this is the answer.

No, the earliest you're supposed to have sex is 6 weeks. If you're more of a function over form kind of couple, or from West Virginia, its definitely possible before that.

The six week wait is what’s advised but no one is physically preventing it if the couple wants to bang earlier anyway (or the man rapes her).

So I read that as they only have one kid that is 7 months and 2 weeks old (7.5 months) so it’s suggesting she got pregnant with twins 6 weeks after giving birth the first time, which is entirely possible. The person has blocked them because 3 kids under 1 would be a freaking nightmare.

Or maybe that they took almost no breaks for the woman to recover.

My guess is that OOP does not want to help take care of the kids or family (I could be wrong though.) If their family is similar to mine and some of my friends, then having more kids so close in age like that means they are going to keep popping out babies and expecting others in the family to either be free babysitters, to help support them financially despite their own problems or to provide free housing/cleaning up after them and their kids. Family like that can spam your phone and drive you insane with guilt tripping.
Learned a few years back that the best thing is to just ignore those relatives for your own sanity/finances and to never do favors because they can be entitled moochers.
Again, I could 100% be wrong though since I don't know their situation but immediately blocking them makes me think that.

Uncles and family that are close are usually asked to help and from the message the brother already knows how their nephews are so he knows what to expect when the count doubles.

Some character here, I don't know but this is legitimately a case where de-gendered plurals make things very confusing. There's like four possible interpretations to that.

Brother has a 7 month old with twins on the way.
OOP doesn’t want to be a babysitter.
Can’t get roped into babysitting because they can’t contact him.

I don’t think it’s that he hates children I think it’s that he doesn’t want to his whole relationship with his brother to be turned into him being roped into babysitting constantly because they had way too many babies way too fast. It’s insinuating they are being selfish and irresponsible with their life decisions and that this is only the beginning of it.

I feel its abuse to get your wife pregnant within a month of her giving birth.

Two possible interpretations. One is that their first child is 7 1/2 months old. The other interpretation is that they have one 7 month old child and one 2 week old child, which does not leave enough time for a full term pregnancy.
And she's 6 months pregnant which is impossible if she just gave birth 2 weeks ago.
It's implied that they abducting kids and passing them off as their own, but are also really bad at math.

I helped all three of my sisters with babysitting duty when they needed some down time. They have in turn taken my kids for some nights away so me and the good lady can have a night out
OOP sounds like a cunt.

u/Bl00di3m00n 2d ago
If the wife is 6 months along and has even one baby at 7 1/2 months that means that one or both parents have went against the doctors advice of waiting for mom to recover before trying for more kids. This means they waited less than a month before getting pregnant again. This could cause a lot of problems with the pregnancy and/or delivery (hope this helps ~)

I have a 22yo, as well as a 5yo and a 4yo. The last two are 11 months apart. As an expert in this field, I recommend against it.
