My babe will be 4m September 11th! I'm sooooo ready for a second. What's it like having 2 under 2? I also had a c-section, vbac stories anyone? Tips to achieve that? I had 24+hrs of labor, 2hrs of pushing and he would come down the back up higher than b4

Question

Answer

I HIGHLY HIGHLY suggest rethinking your thoughts here. 
It is HIGHLY advised not to get pregnant affair until at minimum 18m pp. even then since you had a csection, 2yrs would be better. 
You will not be a good candidate for Vbac until 18m pp. even then you have other qualifications to pass.

Answer

I don't think its a good idea since u had a c section. Your wound is still healing and its not safe for you to carry another child. Doctors recommend a 2yrs break

Answer

Gosh- I wish I was as capable and as good a mum as you... it took me 3 years to try and have another kid. I'm so so glad that you love parenting/find it easy- I would just be a little careful about pushing your body too hard. And also, thinking ahead/ will your finances be ok out both kids through driving lessons, College etc at the same time!l?

Answer

My first two kids are 19 1/2 months apart so I got pregnant at 11 months postpartum. My second and third will be 18 months apart. All were planned and I wanted that age gap. That’s me though. I had a vaginal birth with my first and then an emergency c section with my second. My third will be a planned c section. My doctors are still offering me a vbac but I’m choosing c section. As far as the health risks for having pregnancies close together in age, just talk to your Dr. Everyone is different and people heal differently. My dr told me my chance for a uterine rupture if I did a vbac was less than 1%. Again, everyone is different and I got pregnant at 9 1/2 postpartum this time. As far as 2 under 2 goes, I love it. It’s hard some days but I think it’s the best and I wouldn’t change it for anything. It’s all personal choice though. Some people like a bigger age gap so the first is more independent but to me, if I’m gonna be in the baby/diapers phase, I’d rather do it all together for a few years and then have older kids who are all independent and I’m done with the baby stage all together. Also, my kids are so close and now that my son is 1 and can keep up with his sister, they play together and it’s the sweetest thing. Again, everyone is different but I think if your Dr says it’s safe to try to get pregnant and that’s what you and your partner want, go for it.

Answer

Not a good idea. You will put yourself and baby at increased risk of many issues, and they can become life threatening. It’s one thing to have an unplanned pregnancy, but planning one this close is not a good idea.

Answer

2 under 2 has been really hard for me. I have a 2 year old and a 4 month old and it’s been rough
