    How long between your cesareans?

    Hi there , iam currently preg with my 4th child, after i got myself together for crying for hours, iam starting to think about how close this cesarean will be and the last , and it is worrying me as my body will have had no time at all to get back to normal...
    My short story

    DD Patience 1/7/05 -Normal delivery 23hours
    -18 months between
    DS Kynan 2/2/07 took 2 weeks tcc we tried for him,, Induced due to size on dd 6hours
    - then fetal distress = cesarean
    -13months - 3 weeks between
    DD2 Briella 1/4/08 cesarean due to continual prelabour and pain on old scar as well as the short time between the last one

    Now i have found out im pregnant again , and although iam completely heart broken it has happened,( just wanted sometime without being pregnant to get body back to normal as well as feel normal mentally-hormones for my other children) i do not believe in abortion,

    my last MP was 9 weeks ago - i thought i wasnt having any because i was BF, but then the other day i just had that feeling!:S I ended up doing 8 tests i couldnt believe it was tru i still find it hard to believe, Mainly because i have only time of unprotected sx, and DP was carefull - sorry if 2 much info

    So quite possibly there will only be 11months -12 months between the last and this one,

    I would love to hear of anyone who has had cesareans so close
    I would have had 3 in just over 2 years when this one is born,, - wanting to know about the conciquences on the body it will take,
    argh the thought of another c-section, makes me feel ill lol....

    thankyou heaps Sarah

    I can't help you at all, hun! Just wanted to send you some hugs and support.
    I am sure you will be fine. Our bodies are amazing things. But, I would definitely bring it up with your care provider to make sure you give yourself the best chance to be strong and healthy thoughout this pregnancy.
    All the best,
    Saša
