From what I've heard, it might mean you couldn't have a VBAC because the pregnancies were so close together. Your doctor will know best what problems you might have, if any.

Obviously, your body would not be fully healed from the section if you are pregnant again before the year is up. And like Jbear said you may not be able to have a vaginal birth. You might have to have another c-section. It may even be dangerous to attempt a VBAC.

The general rule is 6 months as long as your incision healed without any problems. I am sure you will be just fine. You will probably have to have another section because your risk of rupture increases from the prior section. But your section will be scheduled. Don't worry and feel happy you were able to become pregnant so quickly! I am very happy for you and congratulations.
