I am pregnant 3months after I had my baby via c section . I am so so so worried , my scar healed very well with in about 2 weeks I was up and down the stairs . My main concern is how my body will take to a new pregnancy ? I've read about the complications and I don't want to put my life at risk and leave my current baby motherless , secondly is how I will cope if I do proceed with the pregnancy, baby 1 will be 10 months when am due ! I struggled to get pregnant with my current baby and had to take Clomid to get pregnant . So this is extremely hard for me . I know it's ultimately my decision but please what would you do in this situation ..

Congrats but i can tell you feel stressed about this. Your scar may seem healed outside but inside it may still be healing. You aren't the first and you won't be the last person that midwives have seen this happen to so don't worry about their judgement.

Congratulations, I know it’s easy to say but please don’t worry . I had 2 of my boys 10months apart and I think it was easier having them growing up close together than it was my other son 8 years later! Only thing I really noticed was I was so busy during my 2nd pregnancy the time flew so I didn’t have time to worry bout anything.As for the birth I had both children naturally the 2nd one only had a 2 hour labour . Looking back I think I probably treated my older one a lot older than he was once number 2 came along but it didn’t affect him they used to run about and play together as they got older told people they were twins!
Enjoy your time with number one , before you know it number 2 will be here and you’ll wonder why u ever worried Flowers

I suspect that you'll be consultant led and would have to have another section, but apart from that, it should be fine.

There are c section groups on Facebook and I've seen many women discuss this, and what I've mentioned seems to be the approach.

It's more that it's not ideal, rather than it being dangerous from what I gather.

Bear in mind that (occasionally) they can do surgery on babies in the womb, which effectively means making a section incision during pregnancy. Those babies have to be born by section, but that's effectively the same operation 3 or 4 months apart, as opposed to your 10.
