We always wanted babies close in age so to have an 19 month age gap we’re over the moon but I’m panicking, I’ve heard some horror stories recently and now I think about my belly getting bigger after a C-section 9 months ago and I feel sick
Please can anyone share stories getting pregnant relatively soon after a section? I’ll be having a planned this time, I’m not even attempting a vbac but I’m so worried my belly is going to get too big and I could tear something, my last baby was a big 9 pounder I’ve not slept the last few nights as I’ve terrified myself

*Following* I also want a shorter gap between kids. My Lo is 6 months, was hoping to start again soon..

Hi so I’m 34 weeks currently and will have a 15 month gap between my babies. I’ve had no scar pain etc and my risk of rupture if I choose a VBAC is only 0.5%. My baby is also measuring 3 weeks ahead by their calculations but comparing to my last pregnancy it’s been no different in terms of how I’ve felt with the growing size. Hope that eases your mind a little bit x
