A dr told me that the scar will be healed in 6 months and cannot get any more "healed" with time so anytime from 6 mnths onwards. But it seems everyone is different. I think it also depends how well you were sewn up afterwards and if the dr put you back together well or not. When I had my 2nd CS the attending told me afterwards that the first CS scar was really well done and the previous Dr had done a good job.
thank you for your replys. i think most of the research i've looked at says you can safely ttc after 12 mths, so i think we will do that. i will be booked in for a c-section this time, so as for looks my scar looks fantastic and i got a wonderful surgeon so i think the scar will be fine. thank-you for your help
I have a friend who had 2 c/s in 12 months, then the 3rd 18 months later, so 3 in 2.5 years. She was told to give it at least 5 years before trying again. I think it was 4, lol.
my first 2 c/s were 18months apart and because I went into early labour at 34 weeks (which was stopped) my c/s scar tore internally and bruised badly. It was like this until I had my reversal 3 1/2 yers later
I had a tubual reversal, then a c/s 11 months later and then another c/s 16 motnhs after that.
I have never been told to wait pitty if I was though
I was also told to wait 12 months before conceiving so that it would be close to two years after that I went into labour. But I do think it is more important if you are planning a VBAC, I think if you are planning a CS it isn't as important (but I'm definately not an expert). GL
