I have a 3 1/2 month old and she has been so wonderful that we are already TTC again. I would have been fine actually if I had found out I was pregnant again the day after I had her, even though the pregnancy itself was just so miserable. Is anyone else TTC right now? I am a little worried though because I had to have a C-Section, and while I was cut for a V-Back, my doctor said that there is a 1% chance if you have your babies 2 years apart that you will need an emergency C-Section if you try to go through vaginal delivery again. Anyone else trying right now? Does anyone have experience with a V-Back that early?
Re: Anyone else TTC right now?
We're not trying yet, but we just talked about this last night and we're leaning towards starting to TTC again when Lucy is 4 months. However, that could change again, haha.
I don't have experience personally with a vbac, but my cousin had her two kiddo's 14 months apart and had a vbac with no complications.
Nope. But, AF still hasn't made an appearance and I had some red spotting a couple of days ago so I am going to POAS tomorrow and see what happens. We've barely had sex since DS was born (it hurts!) and we took precautions so I doubt I'm pregnant BUT I haven't been able to start my birth control yet so there is a slim chance.
I definitely want another kid but we don't want to start TTC until DS is about 1 1/2 years old so I'm hoping the test tomorrow is negative!
Good luck to you, though!
this. i'm just starting to fit into my pp clothes & not look like a stuffed sausage. the sleep deprivation from the early months is just starting to get better. In short, I'm starting to feel like a normal human being again.
when DS is 2 or so, we'll START thinking about a 2nd. And DS is a ridiculously easy baby.
This. At the earliest we might start trying when DS is 9 months. I want to continue to BF DS as close to a year as I can get.

No, no, a thousand times no.
I had the easiest pg ever and DS is also a ridiculously easy baby IMO and we still don't know if we really ever want another.
I think that's really sweet you're ready so soon...really. IIRC for a vbac, they want your babies 18mos apart? Ask your dr.
I have 2 already that are 26mos apart. I want a 3rd and want them closer but won't be TTC until my youngest is 12mos for 2 reasons:
1 - My healthcare providers recommend 12-18 mos before getting pg again to allow your body enough time to fully recover and heal (I've had 2 vaginal deliveries).
2 - BF'ing for the full 12mos is important to me and I don't want to make that sacrifice.

This - and it is soooo hard to wait until 1 year - but bc of my leave at work I have to. But I want another baby - like yesterday.
Not TTC at all. I already have 2 under 2 and, while I love it, I wouldn't want to make it 3 under 3
Besides, I wouldn't feel comfortable getting pregnant this soon after a C/S - I think it's a little riskier... (I had a vaginal delivery with my first, so I wasn't as concerned)
THIS!!!
This. In fact, I believe my exact words to DH were, "I won't even bring it up again until DD is 2." So based on that, probably even longer.

We just decided to start not TTA since DD is 6 months old (my OB and midwife recommended waiting 6 months before TTC since I had a c/s). I had to see an RE to get PG but we're not going to make that appt until January if nothing happens before then.
No VBAC experience here. Good luck!
Hell no.
For one thing my OB told me to wait at least a year to let my body heal (C/S with complications). For another, I want to enjoy the baby I have now before sharing focus with another pregnancy.
Don't think that was intentional, but it made me laugh
We aren't preventing. I have PCOS and it took 2 years to conceive DD. I'd be thrilled to get pregnant again so soon, but I fully expect that it will take an extended period of time again. If we aren't pregnant in 2 years, we will start looking into fertility treatments again (like we were starting to when I became pregnant).
