Lauren Goodger always wanted two kids, but she didn’t quite plan for them to be as close together in age as they will be! The 35 year old TOWIE star became mum to her daughter Larose in July last year, and in July THIS year, Lauren is expecting baby number two. Babies this close together in age are sometimes called ‘Irish twins.’ And while it wasn’t a planned pregnancy, Lauren is excited to be adding to her family. “I can’t wait!” she told new! magazine, in an exclusive at-home shoot.
“They’ll be just under a year apart!” Both children are with Lauren’s ex partner Charles Drury, who she’s had a tumultuous on/off relationship with. Lauren – now 16 weeks pregnant and proudly sporting a neat bump – admits “we weren’t very careful” when it came to contraception, and she hadn’t had a period for a few weeks when she discovered she was expecting again. “It’s absolute madness,” she says.
OK! spoke exclusively to Consultant Dr Charlotte Cassis, who specialises in Obstetrics and Gynaecology, to bust some of the myths surrounding breastfeeding and fertility.

“Unless you want to get pregnant again, I advise using some kind of contraception every time you have sex after giving birth, including the very first time. Get exclusive real life and health stories straight to your inbox with OK!'s daily newsletter. You can sign up at the top of
