Hi

I have recently had a little girl, she is just months old. I had to have an emergency c-section. I am breastfeeding her at the moment and I have just found out I am pregnant! Is this safe? I have been told by a few people u need to wait a while before having another baby if u have had a c-section? I'm so scared incase I have to have a termination... I would feel terrible and I'm also worried that if I had to do that it would effect my breastmilk for my current baby?

A little light on this would be much appreciated. Xx

It is unlikely to problem. Some c-section myths come from when they were performed with an up-and-down incision not across, which is a much harder recovery. There are also people who have sections because of their surgical history (as yours was elves,that can't be you) who are warned about their risks for each additional surgery. You sound like nobody warned you off and not high risk in any other way, so don't worry, but do talk to your doctor to put your mind at rest.

I wasn't given any advice or told anything about not having a baby at all. I went in for the 8week check the doctor poked my yummy and sent me away with a pill I didn't know anything a bid she didn't explain a thing.. I read the pills side effects and realised it wasn't for me. The doctor said as I was breastfeeding I am unable to take anything else?

I had a problematic pregnancy with my daughter.. in every 2weeks for a scan and tests. She will b having her first birthday my the time this baby arrives.. I'm not sure I'm prepared? I feel like a monster for thinking it but I'm just do scared because all over heard about being pregnant so soon.. I didn't even have a period ! :(

I had a section 3 months ago and this is my worst nightmare as I have not healed and am seeing gp about a large swollen area above my cut .
That being said I would love another one when I am sorted and I think you will work if all out so congrats Grin

Hi Sammy,

A good friend of mine was in your position last summer. Just shy of three months after birth and she found out she was pregnant again. Because of her c section she also had one for the second. All was fine, they cut along the same scar and kept it neat, and mother and baby are well!

Congratulations! No need to worry about it, just relax and enjoy this very exciting time! :)
