Next baby

nnjj

I had my first baby June 30... Non scheduled c-s. not a great situation followed by an infection. At my pp check I asked my doc when we could start trying for number 2 just bc I was curious he said 6-9 months I was shocked anyone else ask or have experience??

I was told no sooner than 12 months. I wouldn't have felt comfortable any sooner. Your uterus needs to heal.

I have heard a year as well.

They say a year is best.  If you want to attempt a VBAC a year or more is a much better idea.

I think it depends on if you are going to try for a vbac (which you didn't mention in your question).  If you are, they usually want you to wait for a year before ttc.  If not, I suppose you could start sooner, but I agree that your body needs time to heal.

I just had my PP appointment and asked my OB the same question.  He didn't give me a timeline and basically said whenever I wanted.  I was really shocked!

My doctor told me as soon as I was ready. I did not have any desire for a VBAC. I got pregnant five months pp. That pregnancy was actually easier than my first and I had no complications. They cleaned out old scar tissue during the procedure, and my new scar is so much smaller and looks 100% better. I was also given the okay to pick up my 25 lb DD as soon as I wanted. I have had no issues with having had a second child so quickly.

I was told 6 months. Got pregnant at 8 months pp and was allowed to attempt a VBAC.

My OB said 1 year.

I was preg 3 months PP (not on purpose) and haven't had any problems aside from some pain at my incision site occasionally.  OB is letting me try for VBAC if I go into labor on my own, but will not allow any induction methods.  Also won't let me go past due date to lesson stress on my scar, so we have RSC scheduled if baby doesn't show up before Weds!
