You’d just be considered high risk. And probably have more appointments or checks. But lots of people do it. And you’ll probably have to have another c section

You will need to be extremely mindful of any pain around your C Section scar, as sometimes pregnancy can cause some issues. At my work I seen many women come through in your situation, and were ok.

Is your dr trying to scare you into termination? If so, shame on them. Just like with any back to back pregnancies, whether delivered vaginally or c section, there was risks.
