Anyone pregnant soon after C-section?

[ChezTunes]

My daughter was born at 39weeks by "elective" C-section due to her being breech. She is now 15w, almost 16w old. I haven't been to the doctors yet as they are useless here and just put you on a waiting list for the midwife, then she sees you at 8/9w...

I'm just wondering if there's anyone here who has had a Csec and then gotten pregnant so soon after, and was everything ok/healthy. How was/is the pregnancy? Did you/will you go on to have another Csec?

I hope there's someone on here in, been in, or know someone in a similar situation!

I was told to wait a min 18 months but I've seen people get pregnant right away and everything was fine. If I do have more kids it will def be another elective c-section.

I wasn't told to wait at all. I will probably have to have another seeing as it's so soon after the first but I had a great experience, much better than I thought and I would like another C-section now because I'm as scared of a vaginal birth now as I was for a C-sec before I had one!

First of all congratulations!
i have a c-section in 7 days time for my breech baby. i have read that you should wait for 18 months but i haven't been told that yet. Ill be asking on Friday when i see the consultant. You can still go and see your GP to ask questions even if it will be a while until you see a mw.

My son is five and a half months old, and I'm 10 weeks pregnant. I basically got pregnant when he was 15 weeks old, lol. My doctors are all fine with it. I will have another c-section, but was given the option of VBAC. PM me if you have any questions. I love my OB. xoxo

I believe I was told the vbac would only be an option if the pregnncies were 18 months apart, meaning any sooner would be another C.

Even after 3 yrs, things have changed and i'll still have to have a C.

I'm quite happy to have another Csec and given the option. I would opt for it in favour of a VBAC, although I never thought I'd feel that way BEFORE I'd had my Csec. I'm terrified of a vaginal birth now... Fear of the unknown I think, and I have major anxiety issues and don't think I'd cope well in labour.

Thank you so much, ladies! I feel much more positive now.

well.. my baby is 13 months (almost) and im not planning any more just yet, think the longer u go without getting preg the more likely u are to have a natural i think

Hi,

Yes me, my daughter turned 1 Friady 13th July and this baby is due 8th August (thats my c section date) i was pregnant by the time my daughter was 16 weeks, ive had no problems, i too was worried about such a small gap between sections but there seems to be no concern.
Im having a elective this time after an emergency one with my little girl, ive had too see the consultant 3 times this pregnancy as wel as my midwife, thats because i had Pre Eclampsia last time too but thats the only difference really

Hope to help
DD XX

I was also told to wait 18 months between each delivery. I also had to have a csection due to baby boy being breech.

Now, I am pregnant with twins. No chance of a VBAC.

Me too, and there are so many more like us! We're screwing up the stats for the anti-c section people who insist doctors are forcing medical interventions on us.

i got pregnant when my daughter was 4 months

My Daughter was about 5 months old when I found I was pregnant again

I will be honest, my latest csection was the hardest, but I think that was more because it was my 4th

'youandme' had no problems with her csection that was soon after her last one Good luck

Have any of you ladies had spotting then? I've been having brown/orange spotting on and off for 5 days... I'm so worried but I've been told by MW that there's nothing they can do at just 8 weeks anyway and I've got my first appointment with her next Friday! They're so insensitive here. I hate the healthcare system in my area, they're pathetic tbh. I've had 4 MC's before I had my DD so I'm scared this is going to end the same.
