pregnant 6 months after c-section : Cesarean Sections

Sun Oct 18, 2009 6:43 am

Hi Ladies-
This is actually the first time I've posted on this site. I have a 7 month old and found out last week that I'm pregnant with #2. I had a c-section with my first due to being breech. My doctor told me to wait a year, which we were planning to do. This came as a BIG surprise to us. We, of course, are cautiously excited, but I'm extremely nervous about it. I've done a ton of research and have read from other moms that they were fine having two sections close together. I think I'm just working myself up and thinking about all the things that can go wrong.
Does anyone else have children 15 months apart that had sections for both? I need peace of mind:)

Hi, My husband and I wanted our kids close together and we asked my doc. at my 6 week check up after having baby 1 when the earliest we could start trying and he said 6 months would be fine because you will be healed by then. I wish you luck!

Well... I have a 9 month old and am 28 weeks pregnant....I'll have two under 1 year for sure

We wanted ours close in age and didn't think we would have the luck of getting prgo so fast. Well here we are

All I can do is think positive and hope all goes well...

If I make it to 39 weeks we will have babies 13 months apart.

The doctor said we should be fine but I will be having a repeat c-section.

I am not too worried about it. I looked at the research and the risk and find that this is the safer of my options...

Good luck,

Angel
