pregnancy after a c section

[kaylinq]

I had my son with a c section. He's 27 months old now. I'm 5 weeks pregnant. Can anybody give me some tips with a pregnancy after a c section?

Wow 4 c sections Im on my 3rd is it normal to be worried that since I got pregnant only 5 months after my last c section

Im on my 4th pregnancy which will also be my 4th c section an the only thing i could tell you would be that sometime around th 1st 3 months while th womb is growing i got some pains from th womb stretching but after the womb moves up everythins been grand im now 26 weeks would get th odd pain round scar tissue if i move 2 quickly or strain myself

Don't have any tips, ive had 2 emergency c-sections and on my 3rd pregnancy now. No complications during pregnancy and im very active. Just normal I believe, we'll in my case atleast.

I don't think its any different really. I got pregnant 8 months after my c-section. I'm 35 weeks now. I do feel my scar gets itchy sometimes, so I just make sure to put extra lotion on. The only other thing is you'll need to talk to your OB and decide how to wish to deliver this time. I had a horizontal incision, so I'm going for a VBAC.
Good luck!!
