I had a c-section on Jan.7th how long should I wait to get pregnant again?

On January 7 I had my 3rd c-section and had a beautiful full term baby girl, Savannah, 11 days later she died due to multiple congenital birth anomalies. I know it hasn't been very long at all, but I know I want another baby. The only thing is I'm not sure when to try again, my husband is scared to try again for fear of losing me. The doctor said with the c-section that I lost a lot of blood due to scar tissue from the 2 previous surgeries, with that he had reccomended against any more children. We know we want one more regardless. How long should we wait?

I've heard that after a miscarriage, abortion or child born with defects you are safer to wait two years to try again. Good luck, my thoughs are with you.

until your stromachgoe sback to normal

at least six months for your body to recooperate. but talk to your doctor first.

I would give your body a year to heal. Having a C-section is hard on your body. Be patient, yout next child will thank you.

I you're religious you should pray for an answer, it WILL help. If your husband is worried about your health you can always consider adopting.

Please accept my deepest sympathy for your loss. Don't base this decision on anything any of us might say. Only your physician should be trusted with an issue such as this. There are concerns for repeated C-sections and cases are different from one patient to another. God bless you and your family.

Sweetie, i feel so bad for you..I said a prayer for you. i know you long for a child..but think of this, if you do have another child chances are you might not make it, then you'd have a baby without a moma. maybe you shoould seek professinal advice..and you can adopt

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. If the doctor is discouraging more natural pregnancies.. why not consider adoption or surrogacy? I understand your desire to have a child (I have been there) but there are other ways to have a child that will not endanger your own life.

However long your doctor told you to wait before having sex again. That should just about do it....unless your internal scars need more than 9 months to heal.. But I doubt that.

at least 9 months
9 months to give birth
9 months more to make the body recuperate
I am sorry for the loss
but if you do get pregnant before
you will NOT give the baby all it needs
you body is tired and spent in the previous pregnancy
plus there is a high risk of blood clot
I am not kidding
this is personal knowledge, for reason I will not state here
TY

You MUST be fully healed first. The safest thing is to discuss this with your doctor. If they say you shouldn't do something they usually have a reason for it.

I would get a second opinion from another doctor. If you want to go ahead no matter what they say, then I would probably wait at least six months. That way you know everything is all healed up. You might want to try natural childbirth with another baby since the c-section doesn't seem to be a good idea for you anymore.

First of all, I'm very sorry for your loss. Second, your body needs time to heal, just like a woman who hasn't had a c-section, though with a c-section, it takes a bit longer. There is scaring and it takes a long time. The reason you should wait is because with each pregnancy and each c-section, your chance of rupture increases. The threat is serious and you could die. This is why your doctor is advising against another pregnancy.
My suggestion, wait a year to make sure you've healed really well. Then talk to your doctor again about trying for another. If you choose to, then I'm sure you will be high risk and watched closely.
I know that's not what you want to hear and I know you're grieving for your baby and it makes it so so hard.
I had a c-section with my first and I was told not to have any more. I waited 2 years and got a new dr. and he gave me the go ahead and not only did I have another, but she was VBAC. I ended up having a total of 4 VBAC children after that first c-section. Though with my 5th, they still were talking rupture and also they tried to push me for a c-section. In Oct. I was pregnant with my 6th but I miscarried. My husband and I have decided that now that I'm 41, we won't try to have any more. The miscarriage really wiped me out physically and I got anemia from it. My kids range from 4 to 19.
Again, I'm very sorry for your loss.
Good luck!

If you are truly determined consult your doctor and tell him/her your intentions and ask advice. Personally I'd wait until I got myself back in really good shape. C-sections are really hard on belly muscles and even worse if you have to have a midline incision rather than a bikini cut.
Give yourself 6 months to a year to recover, and seriously consider what your doctor has already said. It can be a tough choice but if you already have other children consider what losing you would do to them and your husband. Its a choice that requires some deep soul searching. Use the time getting back in shape to consider all the angles. Please don't shoot the messenger but you have to ask yourself if you are being selfish if you do choose to have another child. After all it sounds like you have a family that really would not want to lose you. Also if the risk to you personally is that high consider the risk to the unborn child. Would either of you survive? It is really hard to give up a dream or a desire but sometimes the sacrifice can be rewarding.
Best of luck to you.

Very sorry to hear that.My sister in law just had a c-section on Jan.20 when the doctor came in to talk to her she was told to wait 18 months before getting pregnant again to give everything time to heal.But you really should still talk to your doctor.Best of luck to you.
