Pregnancy Gaps...TTC

Hi , So I wanted to find out how long it took people to start trying to fall pregnant again after 1st pregnancy. I had a C Section when my baby was only 27 weeks and sadly we lost her later on that day . It's something I've been thinking about and just wanted to know how long people waited to try for another baby. I'm on contraception anyway right now and we're in no position to rush after the loss of our daughter but I've read so many different things on Google about having to wait 18-24months to try again to give time to heal but I feel like that's such a long time to wait to want to start again and my partner is older than me so he'd be late 30s by then if we waited that long. I know many family and friends who fell pregnant so quickly again and have been fine but be nice to know other women's opinions and gaps between pregnancies. The whole ruptured uterus freaks me out and that makes me feel I have to wait 18 months again but I don't think either of us could wait that long again.

Hi OP, so sorry for your loss, that is so tough Flowers

I had an emergency c section last January which was complicated - larger internal cut than usual, stuck baby and ligament tearing. Also post partum haemmorage andsome other post op complications. Even with all that I was told it wasn’t safe to conceive until 12 months which I believe is standard for a csection. My DD is 17m and I’m currently 8w pregnant.

Hi. Thank you
My C Section was fine. Had a bit more of a blood loss but was on Iron tablets for 4 weeks and now all is fine. I’ve recovered really well from it they have said so that’s good. I think it’s more on if I feel ready after loss of our daughter. To us 12months is a long time to wait and try again especially if it takes us months to conceive. It only took us a month with our baby girl but it could be so much different second time around. Congrats on your pregnancy x
