Another baby.

I had my son exactly a week ago via c section.. I will never be able to give birth naturally so my next child will be a scheduled c section. I wanna have my children close in age so my question is, do you think trying for another when my son is 8 months to a year is too soon?

My doc told me to wait 18 months before thinking about getting pregnant after my c section, but I had an inverted TT incision so it was much trauma to my uterus.

Talk to your doc.

I got pregnant again when my son was 13 months it's hard I'm 20 weeks and my son is 18 months and he is a really good kid but it's still exhausting, make sure I have a lot of support my husband is in the military so a lot is on me, like dealing with a kidney stone right now pregnant have a toddler and he has to work

Good, I'm glad to hear it should be no issue. I'd rather have babies close together so they can grow up together in school. Plus if I have another and get a girl I'll be all set :)

My daughter is almost 9mnths and we were honest with my dr that we want to try for another when she's 6mnths... she was born via emergency c-section aswel, we are pregnant with our second, when baby's born my daughter will be 1yr 4mnths if even that old. I'm just taking things easier this time around, no moving around furniture or picking up too heavy stuff. My daughter is the weight limit, but I'm definitely not slacking off of spring cleaning my house every week.

You should ask your doctor at your 6 week appointment if they would rather you wait longer. I had to have a c section with my daughter in 2014 we are expecting our second now ( my daughter is 14 months now). It is very likely you can fallow your plan.
