Ok so I'm 8 weeks pp with third baby and third c section!
I know I'm going to sound crazy as I have had the worst time with this pregnancy and even more
so the c section and recovery!!
But I am keen to have another baby (my last) which obviously will again be by c section! I was keen to have a small gap as I'm 36 now and would ideally like to start trying when this baby is 6 mo the old! I know they suggest 12-18 months u till trying and this will be my fourth section but just wk deter if anyone got pregnant soon after section and if everything was ok especially if you had already had multiple sections
Thanks

I mean, it happens, because pregnancies aren't always planned. But after three sections, one unhealed, you want to deliberately get pregnant again quickly? You realise the reason it's advised against, right - the significantly increased risk of serious complications, which can kill both you and the baby? Four sections is pretty high risk all by itself without the fourth being closely spaced.

Yep I know the risks and I know even though there are risks they are very very very low but obviously I will be speaking to my doctor before going ahead , I did ask her during c section and she said I had minimum scarring and would be good for another section but obviously nearer the time I will be speaking with her I just wanted a
Some real life stories of people who had done this! I have my personal reasons to why I would "intentionally " do this but obv would take advice from a doctor first
