Hey Sarah, someone I know was pregnant again 3 months after her first caesarean and her body handled it just fine! Her second was born my maternal assisted caesarean. Wouldn't it be nice for you to get a little surprise
Well... I had my first boy on the 23rd december 06, and fell pregnant december 07 (we actually conceived this one on his first birthday)
Hospy dont want to let me trial a vbac, so they want to section me.
I guess (as with anything!) alot comes down to the individual...general guidelines are that a gap of at least a year is optimal but I have a friend who's had three c/s in 4 years - and she hasn't had any dramas. She is very overweight too which could put her at higher risk but she's recovered well each time and no problems in the following pregnancy.
As soon as you're not worried about getting pregnant though...you know you will don't you
My family friend had a 3rd c-section when her 2nd boy was 17 months old and she got the all clear before leaving the hospital (yep all clear in the 1st week) that she can have a 4th if she wants to.
My OB is happy for me to try for a VBAC and there will be nearly 19 months between to two so I don't see why there would be an issue with another c-section. I was getting told when I was trying to prevent the first c-section due to my breech bundle that I would only need to wait 12 months between deliveries (which I did double check) but that was what they said so check with the OB. Alternatively - what are they going to do about it if it is sooner rather than later
