Pregnancy Info HOME

I am just realizing that i may be pregnant again only 4 mths afer my c sec in november last yr.....mt baby was too big so i encountered some problems...i still have pains from time to time but i have to take my risks becauce abortions are illegal in trinidad........

i am now around 1 month pregnant but i just gave birth to my first baby 6 months ago!it was not planned at all but it happened.I am now afraid and dont now what to do because my mom and antie said that theres a possibility of urine rupturing, im afraid for my self because i have a 6month old and i want to see her growing.What would i do?my sister's friend also said that her antie is also on the same situation and the doctor recommend to abort the child to avoid rupturing the not yet unheal wound due to caesarean session rather than to face critical situation and leave her infant without a mom.Kindly help me on my situation.

Miya,

There is no need to abort your baby. Six months is plenty of time for your scar to heal and become pregant again. Any doctor will tell you that, and no doctor would recommend abortion at this point because it is extremely common to become pregant soon after c-section and for the pregnancy and delivery to go just fine. In fact, complications in this situation are extremely rare. Just make sure that you find a doctor who is comfortable with VBACs if that is something that you are interested. Since you've only had one c-section, I would recommend at least trying a VBAC. Otherwise, you can schedule another c-section. Just remember that your situation is very normal there are many women all over the world right now in your same situation, and they and their babies will be just fine as well.

Instead of thinking about the very rare possibility of a bad consequence, start thinking about what you're going to name your new baby, where you will find a place in your house and your heart for him or her, and how much fun your two children will have playing together being so close in age!

Congratulations Mommy!!
Hang in there, and chin up!!

I had a classical c-section and lost my son after exactly one month in the NICU. My husband and I want to begin trying again, but we are unsure due to the risks of the classical c-section and the timing. We are discussing things with our doctors, but of course I am scared. I want another child so much, but I don't know how much time should pass to be safe. Wondering if anyone has some experiences to share. Thanks.
