Question for all of you RCS ladies:
I ended up with a section due to a large baby and no progression. My doctor/midwife team made the judgement call to go right to a CS versus inducing me because it was the wiser choice given all the risks involved.
Just prior to scheduling the CS, my doctor had a conversation with my husband and I about family planning. He said he hoped we didn't want a large gaggle of kids because the risks rose exponentially with each additional surgery. He also said he wouldn't advise us to start trying until I'm two years past this surgery to allow optimal time for healing.
Did any of you get similar advice? I couldn't be happier with our outcome (obviously) and after my midwife declaring my baby to have had the potential to 'tear me to bits' I almost feel like I got off a little easier. Whew!
Re: Way ahead of myself here..
That's what I thought. We'd probably like just two or three LO's, fairly close in age if possible. My midwife said we can attempt a VBAC if her measurements comply for safety (my DD's head was 15.5 and she weighed 10lbs 7oz). Two year
It depends on the type of c/s (you probably have the normal internal incision) and the amount of in between. I was told to wait 6 months.
Two of my girlfriends have had 5 c/s.

It's 18-24 months between pregnancies but we all know that doesn't always happen! It's 18-24 regardless of vaginal or c births.

I asked my OB the same question. He said that it depends on each person and how their body heals, but at his practice, in general they say to stop around 5 c/s.
I have had three and my OB said he doesn't see any problem with me havin
