How long till number two?

Bobbie wrote: That's baby number two Just wondering as I know 'officially' you should wait 18 months (regardless of birth type) but I would like to get started on number two earlier than that. So if I start too early will the scarring on my uterus lead to an increased chance of miscarriage or eptopic pregnancy? Or does it make no difference really once the initial healing period is over - does anyone know?

Well I had five years in between #1 & #2 so that isn't much help. But more recently I had 18 months between #2 & #3 (I got pregnant when #2 was nine months) and when the surgeon opened me up again he said that my uterus is looking really healthy so no problems there. It was a much better pregnancy too - with heaps less pain.

I have a friend who had 14 months between c-sections with no issues.

It's quite a nice age gap really & my boys are really close. I used to breastfeed them together & they would hold hands, talk about adorable!
Here is an old picture of them together:

Hey there Neeks,
I went to see specialist yesterday to discuss birth options for this baby and we are going to wait till 36 weeks and then have a scan to check baby's position and weight etc and if all is fine then I will try for normal birth but obviously if nothing progresses then will need to have another c-section.

Fingers crossed Millie! And Olivier wasn't too big was he, I remember coz he was the same exact weight as my Sienna, which is a good thing.
