How long should I wait to have another baby?

Question

I had a c-section April 2007. Should I wait another year?

Answer 1

You have waited one year, and that's enough time for you to heal from your first child and your c-section.  Try for another baby when you are ready as in, are you ready to take care of a toddler and a newborn, etc.?  Best wishes!

Answer 2

you don't have to...you can have another one whenever you want

Answer 3

I think Dr's usually recommend 18 months so your body can get back into its normal shape (vitamins restored, nutrients, muscles, etc.)

But it's completely up to you. I think you would be fine to have another right now if you wanted to. Just start taking prenatals when you start TTC.

Answer 4

You can have one whenever you want one and can provide for another baby. Also, just because you had a c-section, doesn't automatically mean you have to have another one, you might be able to deliver vaginally, be sure and talk to your doctor about this. I have a friend who had 8 children, the 2nd was a c-section, the other 6 were vaginally. Just be sure you're up to it emotionally and financially.

Answer 5

maybe you should contact your doctor and make sure that everything  is going well god bless and best wishes!!

Answer 6

it depends, how hard was it...did you had any problems? because usually doctos saying- not to get pregnant for 12 months after s-section. You might be ok now.;-)
