What does the doctor suggest? I do think you must put your safety first which is difficult when you want the baby. But I understand your husband's fear. However, by the time you'd have this baby, it would be how long after your C section? I know they do recommend that you wait at least 18 months after your c section to conceive again but do you know that's about how long they recommend women wait between pregnancies for vaginal birth as well? But yes, you are at greater risk for a ruptured uterus with a back to back pregnancy. Termination doesn't mean that you won't go on to have a baby later at a time in which you are sure your body would be healed from the c section. So, it IS a dilemma and I feel for you. Talk to your doctor and make the decision with your husband. do a pros and cons list. Back to back babies in general even without health complications are a lot. LOL (my boys are 15 months apart). But it is all part of life and you make the best of it. But add chaos to your list of cons for close together babies and add fun memories to your pro's list. :>) We're here to talk with you as you decide. hugs
I can't tell you what to decide- but I can tell you that I have many friends that have had babies that close to having a c-section and everything turned out to be ok. Many studies have shown that a majority of women have children after a c-section safely- a ruptured uterus is extremely rare- I believe it's 1 out of every 100 women. Don't make this decision until you get all the facts about what a uterine rupture really means- I personally would not terminate based on this risk factor, but gather your information, talk to your doctor in more detail- even talk to other doctors so you can gather more opinions. Let us know how you are doing.
