Another baby soon after Caesarean

Hi Mummas,

Just after some advise as I'm feeling quite nervous.

I have 2 children, my youngest is 5 months. I had her at 38 weeks via C-section due to medical condition.

I've been feeling unwell for the last couple weeks but thought it was a cold. I realised today I haven't had my period since September so thought I'll do a pregnancy test just to check.
Both lines came up straight away and were very dark.

My doctor told me at my last check up to wait 12 months before trying again due to the Carsarean, giving my body time to heal.

Has anyone fallen pregnant shortly after having a baby via C-section and gone on to have healthy baby with no issues/ problems during the pregnancy?

I know it's early stages and I need blood tests to confirm but I'm starting to freak out. My scar is still tender to touch.

Any advice or experiences both good and bad very much appreciated!!

TIA xx

You need to see your doctor ASAP. He will be able to explain the risks. You don't need a blood test the home tests are more than accurate enough.

My mum had 4 ceasers. My brothers are a year apart in age. 25 years later and her belly still looks like she only had a baby last week. Her tummy muscles never tightened due to having 2 ceasers within a year. Hopefully this isnt the case with you, good luck!
