My daughter turns 5 months old tommorrow. I think I am pregnant again. Of course with my first the doctor told me my bones were to narrow, but we would try to have her natural. I pushed for 3 hours and she got caught in the birth cannal, ending in a c section. After her birth my doctor acted real weird about it saying get another doctor next time because he hates c sections then he said he just wouldnt try it again its to risky???? Now I think I'm pregnant again what should I do?

Get another doctor. Something is funny with the doc. Did you want to try a VBAC? Is that why he's so weird about you having another one, or he just simply doesn't want to do another c-section? I don't understand why he would be "weird" about wanting to do a scheduled c-section. In any case, a second opinion never hurts. Good luck!

i dont know either. No I dont want to do a VBAC. I dont think it is possible for me. He just acted strange. At first he was like ill refer you to this doctor next time he specializes in c sections, then he was like he isnt taking anymore new

Hello liliansmom,
My baby is 4 months old today :) and I think I am pregnant too, I had 2 c-sections, first one 9 years ago with my older son and the other one just now, four month ago.
I am a little worried due to such little gap between the c-sections this time, what do you think, should I worrie?

First, take a pregnancy test before you worry about it! If you are pregnant, call your doctor and ask for a referral, or just find someone else and get your records sent to them. My two sections are 15 months apart and the doctor didn't flinch. They actually didn't even mention the gap as being a possible problem. So chances are you'll be fine. You should be healed well now and you have the first trimester to heal some more before the stretch begins! But really don't worry until you have a positive test, and even then, it if you've healed fine, it will be just fine. Good luck!

To all you worried mommies!!! Don't worry!!! I know easier said than done!!! I had an emergency csection and got pg 3 months later...My doc said he did not recommend planning a pg so close, but it happens and he said there was nothing to worry about. His only concern was my recovery time...But reassured me delivery would be fine. And it was...I could have done cartwheels right after my 2nd csection...I felt great!!! That was 9 years ago and I am pg again!!! I'm not worried about having another csection!!!! Good luck!!!!
