It took us 3.5 years to conceive our first child, fertility issues on both sides. We were told it was highly unlikely to happen naturally but it did and the pregnancy was problem free. I have PCOS, underactive thyroid, weight issues, DH had abnormal and low sperm count.
DD is now 12 weeks, my c section wound still hasn't healed so we're still abstaining from DTD. DH said yesterday that he thinks we should start TTC again in September but he's happy to wait until I'm ready.
I'm in two minds. I am enjoying DD so much at the moment (the baby we never thought we'd get) and want to BF to at least a year (worried knackering first term of pregnancy would make me want to give up and cannot emphasise enough how important BFing is to me). OTOH, it took us so long to conceive the first time, it might not happen again anyway and I'm 34. We always wanted a small gap if we were fortunate enough to get pregnant twice and before having DD, we thought we'd start trying again ASAP. Midwife told us we should wait a year because of having a section. One of the staple holes gaped open 10 days post section and it is still open (being packed and dressed daily at the moment). I assume the inside of the wound has healed properly, it's just this outer hole.
Anyway, I digress. Can anyone share their experiences? I know we're all different but thought other experiences might give me some food for thought.
