Safety

[Holliesmammy]

So I had my little girl 9 month ago and found out I'm pregnant again with baby number two about 1 month just over has a c section with a my first is it safe to have another baby so soon don't know if stuff like this is aloud but any advice would be great

Hiya! I believe they usually recommend you wait a year before getting pregnant so as to allow the original wound to heal, but as with all of these things they'll be well used to cases where that isn't the case. There are risks (as there are with any pregnancy and birth) and yes, these will be greater than had there been longer between pregnancies, but there are still riskier circumstances to be pregnant in which turn out just fine. No doubt the midwives and consultants will talk to you about it and I imagine they'll recommend a repeat section so as to put as little stress on the scar as possible, but please don't panic; you'll be well looked after and just because something's a bit riskier doesn't mean it can't be absolutely okay :)
