DD will be one in November, LO will be born the end of January. I will be having my 2nd CS. Has anyone has 2 cs under 1 1/2? I just read on 1st tri board people telling others its not "safe". What do you guys think?
I think it will depend a lot on your personal history, how your first c-section went, etc. As PP said, talk to your doctor.
This, but I also want to add don't be discouraged. My LOs are 14 months apart, both born via c/s, and all was fine. I'm sure there are exceptions where it is a bigger deal, but in general, I think the risk of c/s close together is blown out of proportion. H&H 9 months!
DS and DD are 15.5 months apart. I had two c-sections. My perinatologist would have liked me to wait a tiny bit longer before TTC, but I had absolutely no complications related to the amount of time between deliveries.
I would assume that a doctor would have more issue with a VBAC that soon after a C than a repeat C. Either way, there's not a whole lot you can do now since you're already pregnant.

My OB cleared me to get pregnant whenever I felt ready at my 6 week PP checkup. My 2nd pregnancy/c-section was uneventful.
I'm sure for certain women it isnt safe depending on their age/health/how their first c-section went, but as a general statement it isnt unsafe to have c-sections less than a year and a half apart.

1st tri board lied to you.
