TTC and pregnancy after c-section

Somewhat inspired by the 2 under 2 thread, but didn't want to derail it so starting my own.

DS is 3 months old, delivered by EMCS. I was one of three under 3 and I loved being close in age to my siblings. I've always wanted that for my own children and I had always thought I'd like 2 under 2. In an ideal world with a straightforward birth I would have been thinking of TTC DC2 in Feb/March time.

However, I also hadn't planned on a c-section! Has anybody with a c-section had 2 under 2? Does anyone know of reasons why this might be a bad idea with scar tissue etc? WIBU to consider TTC in the new year? My GP won't give me a straight answer either way.

I had huge problems as the placenta attached where the scar was (sadly not well enough) leading to placental abruption.
As a result my baby was damaged.
The risk of this increases with each CS. Avoid if at all possible.

I had first section then a vbac planned which ended in a planned section. They will try and scare with with ruptured scar stories but actually the % is very low. Google some journals on it. They wouldn't induce me when overdue with second baby as that is riskier hence the second section. Good luck! P. S recovery was sooo much better second time round.

Sorry p. Ps just noticed that you had an emcs op. My first was planned so no. After scar tissue. I believe it's riskier after an emcs
