Ever had one of those “Wait, what just happened?!” moments that totally blindsides you? Well, Jessica Simpson knows exactly how that feels — especially when it comes to pregnancy. While she’s busy making her spectacular music comeback, life threw her a curveball years ago that no playlist could have prepared her for: an unexpected pregnancy just four months after giving birth, thanks to a little thing called the lactational amenorrhea method — you know, the “breastfeeding birth control” myth. With Mercury breezing through Virgo right now, things are all about detail and clarity, yet sometimes the universe loves to keep us guessing. So as Jess opened up on ‘Today With Jenna and Friends’ about her shock and the lessons learned, I can’t help but wonder — how many of us are relying on the stars and fate, only to get a surprise of our own? Hang on tight, this story’s got more twists than a cosmic dance party. LEARN MORE

Jessica Simpson never expected to be pregnant again so soon.
As she continues her music comeback, the singer has faced some unexpected hurdles along the way.
Now, she is opening up about how shocked she felt at discovering her pregnancy.
No birth-control method is foolproof. And, as Simpson explains, she learned that firsthand.
In a recent interview, Jessica Simpson spoke about a pregnancy catching her by surprise.
Speaking on Today With Jenna and Friends, the singer told co-hosts Jenna Bush Hager and Willie Geist: “My firstborn is now 13 years old.”
She continued, recalling:
“But when I had her, I was like, ‘You know what, I’m gonna focus on the Jessica Simpson Collection and I’m just gonna mom it.’”
When she became pregnant so quickly after this, it caught her off guard.
“I got pregnant four months later, not thinking you could get pregnant while breastfeeding,” Simpson confessed.
“It’s like, wait, what? I’m the 1%? Of course, I’m the 1%,” she expressed.
Jessica Simpson is not the first person — or even the first public figure — to mistakenly believe that breastfeeding would make her immune to becoming pregnant again.
Lactational amenorrhea method, or LAM, is a real term that exists, can mean a reduction in the chances of becoming pregnant while breastfeeding for several months after childbirth.
But it is not absolute. Some people trying this method will always become pregnant, and there are many ways to diminish its effectiveness.
Like so many “methods” for birth control, you can still become pregnant, and you should probably not rely on it.
Maxwell is now 13 years old, as Simpson mentioned. Her second child, Ace, is 11.
She shares both children with ex-husband Eric Johnson.
Their third child, Birdie, is now six years old.
Clearly, Simpson’s surprise pregnancy with Ace was a lesson learned.
We’re sure that Ace’s parents are delighted to have their son — even if conceiving him was not what they had expected at the time.
The surprise pregnancy to which the beloved singer refers stems from a dozen years ago, when Maxwell was a newborn.
In general, doctors recommend waiting around two years between children.
Pregnancy exacts a toll upon the body — and while Simpson famously “bounces back” after giving birth, some of the effects are permanent.
We suspect that Simpson is less likely to have a pregnancy catch her off guard now that she’s a 45-year-old mother of three. (Or, rather, it would be surprising for different reasons)
Her first foray into motherhood was clearly a learning experience. Isn’t it always?
