But, my c-sections were just about two years apart and no one gave me a hard time about it... and if we go for B3 then we will hopefully have another 2 year gap between c-sections. So I guess that means we waited about 15 months before I was pregnant again.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-after-c-section-should-you-wait-to-ttc-again#post-593109 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 22:01:20 +0000 BananaPancakes 593109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My doctor didn't say anything other than "don't you dare show up to your 6 week checkup pregnant!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-after-c-section-should-you-wait-to-ttc-again#post-592934 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 20:37:23 +0000 mrsjazz 592934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My midwives said 18 months for vbac and 1 year for another c-section. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-after-c-section-should-you-wait-to-ttc-again#post-592879 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 19:36:48 +0000 Sammyfab 592879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My midwife said 18 months between deliveries. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-after-c-section-should-you-wait-to-ttc-again#post-592852 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 19:17:02 +0000 aunt pol 592852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It does indeed @Sweet T ! Hmm. It was Twin 2's distress caused by the syntocinon that led to my section so its kind of random whether I'd need a section again. My recovery was kind of hard so I probably should give it some time and aim for a vbac. Thanks girls! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-after-c-section-should-you-wait-to-ttc-again#post-592846 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 19:12:42 +0000 Sweet T 592846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've heard 10-12 months. It seems that every doctor has a different opinion from the answers above! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-after-c-section-should-you-wait-to-ttc-again#post-592835 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 19:02:23 +0000 sslm 592835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I heard that for a vbac you need 18 months between deliveries.

I was nervous to go in for my first appointment because I figured my doc would tell me how I should have waited, but he said by 6 months pp I should be completely healed and am fine. He also told my SIL that he says to wait at least 6 months after csection to get pregnant again </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-after-c-section-should-you-wait-to-ttc-again#post-592748 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 18:17:39 +0000 Boogs 592748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My doctor told me at least 2 years would be ideal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-after-c-section-should-you-wait-to-ttc-again#post-592747 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 18:17:38 +0000 runsyellowlites 592747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>To meet vbac candidacy they recommend having atleast 18 months between c-setion &amp; next delivery so I would personally wait ATLEAST 8 months before even considering conceiving. </p> <p>Of course the longer you wait the better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-after-c-section-should-you-wait-to-ttc-again#post-592738 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 18:14:20 +0000 aunt pol 592738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: between sections? Wow so that's just 3 months, really, between section and conception. I was told 12-18 months between section and conception.

However my local public health nurse says 18 months is preferable.<br /> I'm thinking I'd like a summer baby again, so my v rough timetable would mean getting pregnant between August this year and January.<br /> Thoughts? </p>
