Pregnant at 10.5 months post c-section and freaking out

Hannah • Mom of three. Birth trauma and NICU parent ❤️

Hey ladies! So, the title says it all...I have a 10.5 month old and just found out I’m pregnant. It was kind of an oops, but we weren’t being as careful as we should’ve been because we both really want another baby soon (I’m about to turn 35, and we eventually want 3).

Now I’m freaking out that I didn’t wait long enough. My current doctor told me getting pregnant at 12 months postpartum would be fine. My previous OB said its fine to get pregnant 8 or 9 months pp and still be a perfect VBAC candidate...but this is also the dumdum that sliced into my bladder during the c section, so I don’t put a lot of stock into what he said.

Ladies who got pregnant less than a year postpartum- tell me everything!! How did it go? How’s it going currently? And words of encouragement?
