Pregnancy after c section

What time scale did everyone get pregnant again after a c section?
I know the doc said they recommend eating at least a year to 18 months but it took 4 years to get pregnant the first time after being told we could not conceive naturally so not wanting to stop it happening knowing it could take a very long time again but also worried.

3 months I was pregnant again

9 months post partum for me but it only took a month and my first took quite a bit longer to fall pregnant with x

4 months & I got pregnant

Took me 18 months

10 months after my c section. But took us 4 years to get pregnant the first time.

Currently 8 months post emergency c sec and my partner and I have decided to try again, screw waiting 18 months 😂 I only want 2 children and close together. My son doesnt sleep so id rather carry on the sleep deprivation instead of at some point being able to sleep again before losing it 😂

There is 13months between my Daughters.
So i was about 3-4 months postpartum.
Both planned c-sections.
No complications at all.
My scar healed amazingly after both ❤️
I know they dont recommend that close of course.
My second Daughter is 2 1/2 & we are considering trying for our third & last baby soon-ish
Which will most likely be another c-section.
I had preeclampsia with my first, then my second i had hypertension & gestational diabetes.
I had extra scans with both & was consultant lead x

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

2nd pregnancy after c section

I’m not planning on getting pregnant anytime soon but in the future possibly. I just wanted to know how is pregnancy after c section like my fear is having to go through another emergency operation or even putting strain on my incision during pregnancy

Baby Movements

Hello, I’m a FTM currently 18W5D pregnant. I’ve been getting this tugging feeling in my stomach after I eat, it’s uncomfortable but not painful. I don’t know whether that’s the baby moving or round ligaments pain.

I’ve also been getting round ligament pain which is either a sharp stabbing pain or a stretching sensation. These happens whether or not I’ve eaten while the tugging feeling is only after I’ve eaten.

So, could the tugging feeling be the baby or something else.

Anyone getting a private scan at exactly 6weeks

I just wanna know my baby is actually there after losing my first at 5w

Labour

Think im a bit confused really, i went into traige as was having contractions eveey 3-5mins. Since being here im now having them every 2-3mins which was confirmed with the machine and i think the toco was 90-100 and they feel painful and my lower back is in loads of pain but apparently im only just over 2cm dilated maybe, she has said i can stay here for a bit longer to see if things progress as had a previous quick birth as well but i dont understand why the pains are coming this quick if im only 2cm dilated and feel a bit deflated from it also.

I had a sweep this morning also.
