8 month old baby and I think I'm pregnant and im stressed out ?

So the title says it all... I have a 8 month old daughter and I think I'm pregnant again. My period is 4 days late and I took a pregnancy test at 2 days late and got a negative but could I still be pregnant? I've been having headaches and urinating more frequent, I have cramping but not period like cramps, my low back hurts too. I think I could be pregnant but I'm not sure because I don't have sore breast which is a common sign of early pregnancy and when I was pregnant with my daughter I couldn't even touch them so I kinda knew I was pregnant with her. I'm not sure what to think, it's just stressing me out. I'm not gonna lie it scares me to think that I could be having neither baby so soon. We wanted more children but we didn't think we might have one this soon but we also weren't protecting from it either so I guess we kinda knew it would happen sometime.

    You are most likely just having an irregular cycle, or the test would have been positive. Relax!

    I would strongly recommend that you learn to chart your cycles. That would help you avoid pregnancy scares like this (you would already know that you ovulated late and so your period will be late), and if you don't want another pregnancy yet you can use natural methods to avoid it. Read "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" by Toni Weschler or take a class in NFP or FAM.

    It's totally normal to feel this way. My mom was super depressed when I was a baby with my sibling to take care of to.
