C section

[Curiousl]

Hey just wondering has anyone got pregnant again straight away after having a c section ? If so how was the experience

You should wait. It’s dangerous as you won’t have healed and you could tear along the scar.

I had a friend who was pregnant again a month after a c-section. She had lots of extra checks and had to have another c-section. She was otherwise fine although she didn't work so never had to over-exert herself.

Yeh I know I have heard it's quite dangerous. I'm just worried I may be pregnant but it's too soon to even check. So I just wanted to know if someone has been through it an share their experience

@KellyHall wow a month after having a baby. Well Atleast your friend was ok an she got through it fine. I'm just a little worried if I am pregnant as I don't know how my body will take it after having c section already.

You would need a early scan due to potential interference from scar tissue - you can buy one privately from 6-7 weeks rather than wait to see if the NHS will provide one, just make sure it comes with a consultant review / report so you can show your NHS consultant.

@GrumpyHoonMain at the moment I'm not too sure if I'm pregnant as it's too soon to check. But hopefully I'm not lol thanks for advice

Not personally but both my friend and sil were pregnant 6 months after a c-section and neither had any issues

@thatsmyumbrella ohh right thanks makes me feel a little better lol even though I know everyone's experience is different.
