Worried about conceiving after c section

I ended up with an emergency c section. Since reading around the topic looks like c section can be linked to secondary infertility, and now worried that it will be difficult to conceive number 2. Any one had this concern / any reassuring stories
? Thanks :)

I had a very traumatic emergency c-section with my first. Only took me 6 months to conceive my 2nd.

I did not have an emergency c-section for my 1st. But I didn’t progress. I was given options & opted for a c-section.

I conceived our 2nd at 13m PP, on the “first” try.

Our 3rd… I can’t remember what was happening then. But it didn’t take too long, I don’t think.

We surprise conceived our second baby the day after my sons first birthday - was something I worried about as well but happened without us even trying 😌

I've had 3 c sections and first one was emergency

I had a planned one not emergency but we got pregnant the first time not preventing, we weren’t actively trying. We “tried” for 16 months with our first baby.

I’ve read what you were and it’s not very common and you’d likely know if you have the scar defect. It’s also treatable.

I know someone who has had four pregnancies and two sections, and seen many posts from women falling pregnant quickly after a section.

If you have the defect, lap surgery could fix it and pregnancy isn’t impossible. Go get an ultrasound after your period stops and you’ll know.

Can anyone help explain this please?

Just been for my first ever sweep- I'm trying to understand the notes to see if I can work out if im dilated or not (she's 5/5 engaged and the second the midwife popped her fingers in she said she could feel baby)
Any help would be appreciated 🥰❤️

Age gaps and second baby advice 😅

Hello guys . I’m currently 11 months pp and I want some advice . Are you one and done and glad you made that decision ? Did you go for a second child and regret the decision (NOT THE CHILD) , did you decide to go for another and it was a smoother transition than expected ? I found my first baby extremely difficult especially the first 3 months we had tongue tie, colic , reflux , waking every 30 mins . She still wakes at night . I had bad anxiety especially with SIDS and also ppd which I never medicated for and now regret . I look back on the time and it’s just a blur until maybe 5 months onwards . I enjoy her so much more now that she’s older and I love being a mother . My husband constantly bring up more babies in the future but I genuinely don’t know if I could do it again . I also love maintaining myself and having some time for me when she naps but when I have two will I lose this time ? Can people share their experiences . Was a second child worth it ? What age gap was best ? I am deffo open to a larger age gap but not more than 5 years . But if it would make things easier then I could do it . I know 2 would be my absolute max children but I constantly go back and forth between one and done or two . The main reason is for her to grow up with a sibling especially as an adult I think it would be beneficial . At the end of the day it’s personal decision but advice and experiences would help a lot 💗💗💗

Contractions/ early labour advice

First time mum looking for advice!
I’m having contractions in my lower back and pelvic area, averaging around me 5-7 minutes apart and around 30 seconds long. I’ve had a sweep yesterday and lost my mucus plug.

Am I in early labour? 😅

Sound normal?

I’m 18days post section, I’m still getting discomfort / pulling in one side of my c-section. The GP thinks there’s a haematoma there but isn’t 100% or particularly concerned.

Also I went for a walk round the block earlier and I really struggled, I had to go really slow and although it wasn’t painful it just felt like hard work. I was kind of expecting to do more by now. I’m not far off 3 weeks… getting around the house / in and out of bed is fine just going out and walking I’m finding hard. Does that sound normal at this stage?

I feel like people have been constantly asking me since she was born. “So have you been to take baby out for a walk yet” and also I feel like a crap mum to my 4yo like I can’t take him to the park or whatever x
