Confession: Even sounding out the words “baby” and “number” and “two” in one breath right now scares me a little. No. A lot.

But a recent study published in the journal Obstetrics and Gynecology found that as many as one-third of babies that follow are conceived within 18 months of a previous birth. The chances are higher if a woman is between the ages of 15 to 19 or older than 30, or if she was married when the previous child was conceived. And in many cases, the subsequent pregnancy is intended.

From a health perspective, a pregnancy interval of 18 months or less is considered short, and in some cases, can be risky. Short intervals between pregnancies increase the chances of preeclampsia, premature births, and a lower birth weight for the baby.

Many years ago I made peace with the fact that, besides also being Armenian, I’ll probably never be able to keep up with the Kardashians.

No one paid me to get married. I did not pull my own baby out of my nether lands (thank goodness for nurses). And I actually enjoy sleeping in the same bed as my male partner for life (scary thought, Kourtney. I know.)

But this morning while watching Kimye talk pregnancy on “Good Morning America,” I couldn't help but nod at the television screen.
