Planning Another Pregnancy After a C-Section: What You Need to Know


Question
I had a C-section, my first and only labor, a few months ago.  I have heard others say I have to wait 3 years before having another baby and others saying it doesn't matter how long I should wait.  How long should I wait before having another baby because of the surgary because I plan on having another one soon?

Answer
You can become pregnant as soon as you wish and can have a normal pregnancy. HOwever, it is recommend by ACOG that, if you will deliver within 18 months of your last cesarean, you should have a repeat cesarean section, but if you will deliver more than 18 months after the operation, you can try for a VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean). Good Luck.
