Hi! I moved over here when my little boy was 5 days lol! I think lots of ladies get mega broody after gazing into their baby's eyes! You need to ask your doc about when you can ttc after a section. I had a section with no.1 and they told me to wait a year. I got impatient after 6 months and we started trying - it took nearly a year for no.1 so we though it was better to start earlier, and we were right. It took 17 months for no.2 in the end! I had a vbac with no.2 so I guess we can start whenever we like, medically speaking!

You twins look adorable and your avatar is hilarious! xxx

in my pregnancy book it says wait a year for a normal birth and wait a year and a half for c section. x

Why?

Think its longer because it takes more time for your body to repair...obv because your tummy will be weaker due to c-section its prob best to wait slightly longer so that you're more likely to be able to have a natural birth next time. This is just an idea mind i wouldnt know for sure, though i would just ask your doctor or MW when you feel yourself you are ready

you have to wait longer after a section because of the risk of the uterus rupturing when the strain on pregnancy is put on it too soon. You need to make sure it has all healed well otherwise the growing, stretching and strain on a already weak scar could just rupture not only putting baby at risk but very very dangerous to the mummy as you bleed out very fast

Why does your book say wait a year after a normal birth though? I was told 1 year after my section & wasn't told anything about waiting after my vbac. Loads of women get pregnant less than a year after a normal birth - just wondering why the book suggests waiting so long?
