Had a c-section last year and now we are thinking of second baby. Thoda confused about how much gap to keep after cesarean, dont want any tension with the scar. Anyone planned baby no 2 after c-sec, how long did u wait?
Usually doctors recommend a gap of 18 to 24 months after a C-section to avoid any risks during the next pregnancy. Your uterine scar needs proper time to get strong again. Don't rush into it, consult your gynac first.
I totally understand how much you want to plan your family, but please listen to your body first dear. You went through a major surgery, and your womb needs rest to build strength for another beautiful miracle. sending you so much love and patience.
Haan na, thoda gap toh zaroori hai body recover hone ke liye. My MIL also said minimum 2 years wait karna chahiye so that stitches heal well inside. jaldi kya hai, baby chota hai abhi, enjoy that first.
My doctor advised waiting at least 1.5 to 2 years so the body heals internally. I was still breastfeeding my first when we started thinking about it, and let me tell you, giving your body time to recover makes a huge difference. Take care and enjoy your little one now.
The apps I used like Flo and Ovia generally recommend waiting minimum 18 months for the scar to completely heal. I logged my periods regularly post-delivery to track my cycle before planning the next. Trackers really help to see when your body is actually ready!
Oh god, please give yourself a break for at least 2 years! I had a C-section with my twins and the thought of doing that again too soon makes my bones ache. Let the internal stitches heal properly first or it will be chaos.
