Not bad, but: It isn't a problem for Mother Nature to allow "back to back" pregnancies. However, in our modern society caregiving and economic considerations usually require a 2 to 3 year spacing between pregnancies. Not to mention giving your physical body a chance to replace nutrients and blood lost from the previous pregnancy. If you are pregnant, "it is what it is".

No, if good health: If you are in good health and continue with getting good nutrition, rest and prenatal care, you should be fine with another pregnancy this close, but naturally there will be more stress with now caring for an infant while your body is going through hormonal changes again. Before worrying too much, however, confirm that you are indeed pregnant. Best wishes.
