Mrs. RJR · October 2009

What are your Dr.s concerns if any?

thanks

I found out I was pregnant again on the same day we had my daughter's 1st birthday party. My doctor did not have any concerns.

I got pg when DD was 9 mo old. My dr. was not concerned. She had told me previously that it was best to wait at least 9 mo but closer to one year. She has no concerns about me getting pg at 9 mo pp.

I got pg when DS was 9 months old. My doctor is not concerned, and is also encouraging a VBAC if I choose.

I was pregnant a little over 3 months pp and my Dr didn't mention any concerns. I haven't had any issues due to the c-section yet.

My Dr did not have any concerns and gave me the option of VBAC or section.

HarrietNJMommy · October 2009

Yup - ME! 2 times. I got PG with DD#2 when DD#1 was 9 months old and got PG with DS when DD#2 was 10 months old. I had 3 c-sections in 3 years.

My OB was fine with it. I heal really well, and have no issues.

I got pregnant when DD was 6 months old and my doctor has no concerns. He is even ok with doing a VBAC if I choose.

I had my baby girl 13 months after my twins.

She really wasn't concerned- I had very easy/no complication csection/recovery.

Mama Jan · October 2009

I got pg when DS1 was 9-10mo. My ob told me at my 6wk post partum appt that if I wanted a vbac, I should wait 18mo to conceive. If I was doing a repeat c/s, it didn't matter when I got pg.

I had a repeat, had no complications during pregnancy/delivery/recovery as a result of a previous c/s.

I got pg when DS #1 was 6 months old and so far the pregnancy is fine.. Dr is not concerned at all!

howleyshell · October 2009

Mine are 17 months apart.

No concerns and was even offered VBAC.

Congrats and GL!

HappyTXChick · October 2009

I was 8 weeks pg when DS turned 1. No concerns from my dr either.

ketamarie · October 2009

I also found out I was pregnant on my son's bday. My doctor has no problem and is encouraging a vbac.

MrsCorbin · October 2009

I got pregnant both times when the previous DC was 5 months old. My doctor was fine with it and said I could have a VBAC with #2 if I chose. I have healed great and had no problems. I had 3 c/s's in 28 months.

mlf625 · October 2009

My doctor has no concerns and encouraged me to get pregnant as soon as I'd like to. ?I've always wanted a repeat c/s though, so his advice may have been different if I wanted to go VBAC.

Cyrbia · October 2009

Wow, I guess things are different in the USA than they are here in Canada. My OB suggested another c-section since there was less than two years between pregnancies. He said there is a very small (about 1%) chance that the incision could rupture and we could lose the baby and I would require a blood transfusion. He also said that if I tried the chances of it ending in natural birth were about 50/50. I decided against VBAC.

I'm recovering very well from the surgery and would highly recommend it. It's so much less stressful and I'm finding I'm WAY less tired than I was after labouring the first time.

Good luck making your decision.

DS will be 14 months old when DD is born. I'm having a repeat c-section as my doc thinks the risks of a VBAC this close to my c/s are great. I had a great recovery from my 1st so I'm fine with the decision (1st c-section was scheduled due to size of DS).

MattsWifey<3 · October 2009

I found out I was pg when DD was 9 months. Dr. didn't express any concerns. They said I was not a candidate for a VBAC and I was fine with it.
