C-section & infertility?

I saw this TikTok of a mom saying she couldn’t conceive after having had a c-section. The comments were filled with other moms saying the same thing. Has anyone here experienced this as well? I’m a little shook considering I had a c-section and was thinking of trying for another one next year

In very rare cases the scarring can be an issue usually in more complicated births.
Speak to a health professional about your birth and whether you could be affected rather than let TikTok get in your head which I appreciate is easier said than done xx

It can cause problems but it's rare. I've had 4 sections and never had a problem getting pregnant.

Never heard of it. After csecton as soon as I've decided I'm ready for another baby I was pregnant within month

Also never heard of it. All these posts talking about VBAC means that lots of women that had Csec aren’t having any probs either.

I had an emergency c-section in October of 2023. I had uterine widening and I hemorrhaged really bad, lost a ton of blood. I conceived in October of 2025. I’m almost 21 weeks.

Remember people on social media make up random things/ downright lie about “storylines” for likes,follows,exposure, collabs etc I would just take everything you see with a pinch of salt

There is such a thing as secondary infertility but that, although unusual, can happen anyone. I'd take anything seen on Tiktok with a huge pinch of salt!

I had a c section in 2024 and pregnant now with twins!

haven’t tried for our second yet, but due to my traumatic c section delivery, it was recommended for me to not have any more children. maybe that’s what she meant?

🎂 How Are You Celebrating Your Little One’s 1st Birthday?

Mamas, I’d love to hear how you’re planning to celebrate your little one’s first birthday! 🥹🎈

I’m starting to think about my baby’s 1st birthday and would love some ideas whether you’re planning a big party, a small gathering, a cute little outing, a cake smash, or something totally different!

Also, if you’re in the Westwood area and your little one is turning 1 around the same time, maybe we can celebrate together! 🎉 It could be so fun for the babies to have a little first-birthday celebration together and for us moms to meet too. 💕

39 weeks induction or c section

Anyone who has experience in being advised to have baby by 39 weeks (GD in my case) how did you go about making your decision and how did you feel about your decision?!

Am I the only person that hasn't got a birth plan?

I'm 35 weeks and I had my midwife appointment yesterday and she discussed if I had a birth plan yet? I said no just going with the flow...

My baby boy was finally born! 09/28/26

I'm so happy that my son is finally here at 40 weeks and 4 days. His name is Aiden 💙💚 I almost had him at home! I felt his water sac coming out of me and we had to rush to the hospital. Little did I know I was already 8 cm when I got checked in. When it was time to push it only took 6 pushes! I'm soo in love and happy ☺️

Anyone else have a crazy birth story?
