12-18 month wait

Hi - my midwife said 12-18 month wait before having another baby post c section, I think I may be pregnant again too soon to test but I just have a feeling. I’m 8M PP, so baby would be due around December which would be 17-18 months. Has anyone had a second c section in this time frame? Is it 12-18 months from c section or to get pregnant after then?

I had a very big fibroid and a very long risky c section and my doctor said 6 months is more than enough
I may be pregnant as well and i am scared to test🤣 no valid reason but i feel you hopefully the time is fine and may allah heal our c section wounds fully before getting pregnant again 💃🏻💐💐

I was told 2 years for me. Might be different case by case. Might be worth speaking to your midwife to make sure it's ok

We have an 18 month gap between kids (emergency c-section then planned). Personally it was intentional and second was a perfectly healthy pregnancy and baby! Now they’re 1.5 and 3 ❤️

We have a 12 month gap.
Not planned at all but everything went fine thank God 🥰

13months gap with my girls.
I healed really well with both, no complications.
We planned a second baby but not quite so quickly.
I was worried but thankfully all was ok xx

My 2 boys are a year age gap and I've had c sections with both of them xx

It’s get pregnant 18-24 months after c-section

Wierd one

Am I the only person with an anterior placenta who just felt there baby start kicking and now when ever I wake up I struggle to go back to sleep becuase baby is very very active and no stop kicking me ???? Not that I dont enjoy it i do but I still want sleep. Also it is only me who has like 3 months left and can only drink coke cola

Emergency C-Section

Hey mums, 20 days post emergency c section after a failed induction at 39 weeks. I experienced placental abruption and then developed sepsis after birth spent 5 days in hospital in total.
I was in so much pain and experienced a lot of trauma from the c-section including being on oxygen etc. Did anyone else experience anything similar and how did you find recovery? It’s been tough🩵

Gender reveal

Hi guys. Had my anamoly scan today. They informed it will be baby girl. But they checked once and then confirmed. But is there any chance it could be wrong?
Though I am happy to have a girl and preferred to have girl but I wasn’t convinced by my midwife as she checked only once🫣

I’m 3 weeks and 4 days pregnant

When would u tell your mum you are pregnant? If u talk everyday?

Different movement at 28 weeks

Looking for anyone who’s had a similar experience! Up until now my baby has been very active through the day with strong punches and kicks but over the past 48 hours, the movements have changed to more gentle rolls and bulges. I also think he’s sitting low as I’ve been feeling pressure and some aching down there. Would appreciate hearing if anyone’s had anything similar!

Genuinely terrified

This is my second baby and I had a traumatic birth with my first I’m now 4 days overdue and I had a growth scan at 39+6 and baby’s predicted weight was around 8lbs 15oz, I’ve now been told I’m at greater risk of shoulder dystocia, an anal tear and or needing another episiotomy. They can’t book me in for a c section but also not sure if that’s what I want, I’m already 2cm dilated when I had my sweep but don’t know if my body isn’t naturally going into labour as I’m so scared.
