Second child

[archatkinson]

I gave birth to my son 7 months ago by C-Section. I am pregnant again and concerned that my body hasn't healed since the 1st time around! Is there any to my new baby, will there be any problems because I am pregnant again so soon?

Many thanks

I've never had a c-section, but this website may be helpful to you. Good luck.

Pregnancy too soon after c-section

I too fell pregnant only 6 months after having a section. Really, you don't need to worry. You will be told to report any unusual pain around your abdomen. You will be kept under very strict observation during labour to make sure your scar is coping.

I managed a VBAC (Vaginal Birth after Ceasarian Section) 15 months after a section. The only thing they WON'T do is induce you with the hormone drip (they can try up to 3 times with the gel I think) as this can cause too strong a contraction and could rupture your scar.

Good Luck!!
