How long did you wait in between C-sections?

Question

I just had I a baby 4 weeks ago by C-section I just want to know.n did u have a VBAC.n did the scar open up during Labor.How soon did u get pregnant after having a c-section?

Answer 1

I had a c-section and my doctor said that I need to wait 18 months before trying to get pregnant again.  Also my hospital does not allow VBACs.  

Answer 2

My sister had a c-section, and 18 months later had her second child by VBAC.  And no, her scar did not open up.  However you want to give your body proper time to heal. Uterine rupture is very rare but it can happen.  Let your body heal before you decide to get pregnant again.  Use protection.

Answer 3

my son was 10 months when I got pregnant for my second. No I did not do a VBAC my hospital does not even allow them.  

Answer 4

I have had two c-sections.  With all pregnancies, you should really wait two years in between to ensure your body is healing properly.  I didn't have to have a d&c with either of my c-sections... in fact, I don't think I've heard of that before.  I didn't have a vbac, so I can't help you with that part!  Sorry!  Best of luck!

Answer 5

My sister in law had a baby via C-section July 6, 2006 and another on June 28, 2007.  51 weeks apart.  Her oldest was about 2 months old when she got pregnant again.

Answer 6

I also had a C section 4 weeks ago, which was my 2nd.  My son was 18 months old when I got pregnant the 2nd time.  I think that's a good time frame. I personally wouldn't even attempt a VBAC because of easy C sections are (not to mention safer).
