C-sections

Pregnant too soon?

We had our second child at the end of September 2013 which ended up as a c section. We were done having children so I went on the pill and DH was going to get snipped within the first few months but still has yet to do so. Well the pill apparently wasn't enough because we recently found out were expecting and already 2 months along. My question is has anyone gotten pregnant so soon after a c section? Did everything go smoothly? I'm really nervous on how this can affect the pregnancy considering both my previous pregnancies have been complicated and I've never gone full term! Any advice would be helpful, thanks ladies!!

    My closest gap is 16 months (sounds like yours is closer to a year) my doctor is basically a 'well we'll watch ya closer since there's nothing to do now' but I have uneventful pregnancies and haven't ever gone into labor on my own. Congrats and hoping for a H&H pregnancy!!

    I had a friend who had one in January and one in December of the same year. She had a third 16 months after the second. She was ok. Congratulations on your little surprise and I hope everything goes well.

    No advice but congrats! I wish you a H&H pregnancy as PP. I think you will be fine as long as your doctor knows about your situation and monitors closely.

    Mine will be 11 months apart. I've had a lot of pain at my incision site and severe anemia (requiring IV infusions of iron) but overall my LO has been healthy. Congrats!

    My 3rd c/s will be 13 months after my 2nd. Pay attention to any pain but remember the risk is small and try not to worry :)
