Possible 2nd pregnancy..need input. long.

Hello C-section mommies

Exactly 11 months ago I gave birth to my first son via c-section. I am searching for some input because I THINK I might be pregnant again. I know the same pregnancy symptoms occurs with the 2nd pregnancy...but I was wondering if previous c-section mommies feel anything different? Let me explain a bit more...I usually take birth control however I was not able to purchase another pack after I ran out last month. I use a kind that allows me to only have a period every 3 months. Well the first day of my period was around March 12th I believe. I have been experiencing a few things that have made me believed I might be pregnant...the first thing, about a week or a little more after my period..I had a few spots of blood one day and then one time the next. It didnt show up any other time and it was very VERY light. Then...of course I have been feeling sick to my stomach and faint like. It might be a little tmi..but my stomach got upset a few days in a row despite not eating anything to make it so. It was a symptom in my first pregnancy...next, headaches. I am prone to headaches so I did not think anything of it at first. But they occured shortly after I spotted and lasted for days and still occuring. Headaches were my main symptom of my first pregnancy.With my first pregnancy...I found out within 3 weeks of my pregnancy and it was all due to my breasts hurting and leaking. I do not know about my breasts this time around because I am still breastfeeding. They do feel a bit sore when pushed on a certain way but I dont want to rule this in just in case its unrelated. I thought I couldnt be pregnant this soon...but I looked up info about period, ovulation, etc...and found out the spotting, etc works with the ovulation timeline I would of had..which would of been around the 26th. If I am pregnant, I would be around 3 weeks and 5 days.

But the main thing I am wondering about is my most recent "symptom"...starting yesterday my "uterus area" has become extremely sore. It feels like it did right after I had my c-section and was healing. I am use to pain around that area because I have had ovary cyst area, scar tissue, etc...but this I can definitely tell is my uterus. It is bothering the crap out of me...I was wondering if it could be sore from an egg attaching? I know it is recommended for a c section mother to wait 18 to 24 mth to have another child...and I am only at 11 months. Have any of yall with more than one child experience this? If I am still feeling this way next week I plan on going and getting a test done...but I wanted to ask some experienced mothers first....any input?

My 2nd delivery was my c/s so I haven't been pg since having my c/s. Just go to Target or Walmart and buy a test and then you'll know and can stop wondering. Getting pg this soon isn't recommended but it isn't the end of the world.

I know its not lol I'm not really worried about my uterus holding up..i was just saying that could be a reason why my uterus is hurting if I am pregnant maybe?? I plan on going to get a test soon..but I have to wait till payday. I just wanted to talk to other c section mommies about their experiences.

I think uterine pain is common in early pregnancy regardless of a C-section or not. Your best bet is to take a HPT. I wouldn't worry about the pregnancies being too close together either. BTW your LO is adorable, that is such a sweet newborn pic!

I didn't have any more pain in my uterus area with my 2nd pregnancy than my first. But it has been 5 years between my c-section and pregnancy. It may be possible with not as much space between kids to experience the pain though.

second pregnancies do not always have the same symptoms. Sometimes they do and sometimes they don't. If you are already having symptoms then you would have a positive pregnancy test...so go to the store and buy one and see what it says.

Just because you have a csection you can not feel the egg attaching...do you know how small that egg is??

I get pain from periods and pregnancy sooo best thing you can do is just take the test to know for sure Good luck to you.

I dont want anyone to tell me if I am pregnant or not. I would not trust anyone with that anyhow except a real doctor preg test. Why does everyone think that lol ...I just included my symptoms in there for my story..All I was really wanting was wondering if there were any other mommies out there who got preg soon after their first c section..and if they had experienced any soreness when they got preg again.

I'm pregnant with my second and my LO is 10 months old, so I'm in a similar situation. I have not experienced any of the uterine pain you are mentioning, however I'm still early so I guess this could happen. I get a lot of the twinges of my uterus stretching but not a soreness.

You are also dealing with getting AF back while BFing and coming off BCP so your periods are probably still a little whacky. I know mine were.
