As Brooke mentioned there is only going to be 13 months between my 2 girls. I got the all clear from my doc at my 6 week checkup and the doc basically said if I felt ready then thats all that matters. At that point my scar had healed well, but its not the external you have to worry about. Ideally most docs say 6months-1year but my ob at the hospital has said its absolulely not a problem having bubs this close. Yes there is a chance of uterine rupture, but the actual odds are very very low. That said the ob at the hospital does monitor me closely just to make sure things are going smoothly.
Just remember when they try to scare you with uterine rupture odds that it can happen to anyone, any kind of birth not just c/s or VBAC. A young girl in the town where I live had 2 bubs close together (15 months apart) both vaginally and the 2nd birth resulted in a uterine tear.
