how long after c section

No I think my MW suggested 1 year too... I think its more to be safe than sorry! I know that every one heals differently and therefore its hard to say how well every thing has settled down in there....I mean it is a major operation!

I didnt start trying till 7.5 months ago (as you can see) but original thought would try after DD became 1...only because thats what our MW Had said.

Just as a pointer...when I got pregnant with this one...at the early stages I felt kinds heavy, light burning feeling where my scar was...I got a bit scared but MW said its normal....but I was amazed how even after that long it was soooo tender down there. Its better now, but I am told it will become tender once again closer to time!

Mine was emergency after PE etc and OB said a year was fine ...not sure if that meant waiting a year to get pregnant? so I would check with doc...but we are starting trying in Jan and he was born in feb..

I wasn't told a time frame but we started when Leah was about 11 months. Had some itching and streching pain along the scar early on but just rubbed some biooil into every night to keep it supple. Had an episode 10 days before Joel was born with intense pain along the scar and was hospitalised overnight, but my BP had shot up at the same time so they were just being careful. Had no pain along the scar in labour though and had a VBAC.

I cant remember being given a time fram but we fell preg when Ashlyn was 9mths and had no problem with the scar tissue.  Good luck, maybe check with GP as someone else said.

I was told about 18 months between births, so bubs 9 months, then 9 months of pregnancy. But this was in regards to scar rupturing when trying to have a VBAC so maybe it's different if going ERCS???

ok went to doc today, Basically he said that i had heeled very well and that there should be no problems, he did say that the specialist that examined me at the hospital noted that i was very low chance of a VB in future as this c section appeared to be caused by structural issues with my hips.

He then warned me that it could be up to 3 months before i ovulate after coming off the pill and may take up to 6 months to concieve (i've bloody heard that before lol DD took 6 weeks to concieve), and to come back to him if we had not concieved after a year.
