How soon after C-Section can you start TTC?

Question

Hello ladies,
I’m just wondering how soon after a C-section you started TTC and if everything went well or if you had any complications? 
I’m currently 5 months postpartum after my first c-section ( 2nd baby) and my baby fever is driving me crazy. We were planning on trying for another baby sooner rather than later before finding out our little girl was breech ( which is the reason for the c-section). I’m still nursing so chances of getting pregnant right away are very slim anyways, but I’m considering getting off of birth control so my body has some time to slowly get back to normal. 
I appreciate any advice or shared experiences.

Answer

ACOG (American college of gynecology and pediatrics) and WHO (world health organization) both support 18 months between BIRTHS as fully recovered and ready for the next pregnancy so you are good to go at 9 months post partum.

Answer

My doctor recommended waiting 18 months.

Answer

Most cases it's advised to wait 18 months, but I would wait at least 1 year. And the longer you wait, the better. I've heard of some women miscarrying when they got pregnant too soon after a c-section, though you wouldn't actually know if that's the cause. We started ttc after my c-section for our second after our daughter was 10 months (we knew it would take some time to conceive). I didn't get pregnant until 5 months later. I'm 14 weeks now and all is good so far. I do need ankther c-section, but it's for other reasons unrelated to when I got pregnant again.

Answer

My doc said I need to wait 15 months between pregnancies.

Answer

for a vbac acog recommends 18 months BETWEEN births. my first dr said if I didnt mind a repeat csection 6 months to a year depending on how well you heal. I got pregnant 6 months and have a very easy time with pregnancy scar and uterus child(my daughter gave me so much nausea lol)
my first dr is not there much anymore because he had prostate cancer so I had to go with a new dr and he recommended 9 months. so 9 months I'm waiting. after this I'm taking a break. only 2 more months to wait.

18 months my OBGYN told me

Answer

Most Dr's recommend 18-24 month's from what I've read and heard. I was told 18 I am 37 week's and my daughter will be 2 on Saturday she was 14ish month's when I got pregnant.

Answer

My doctor said to wait two years, but I have a classical (vertical) incision on my uterus and will 100% have to have another C-section. I think the typical advice for a low transverse incision is 18 months.

Answer

My dr told me 6 months, which was after my pap. He checked me out and said good to go. I got pregnant at 9 months pp and everything is going well.
