First of all congrats on your 1st baby and on your pregnancy. The only one who knows if it's too soon or not is God first and then your doctor. My doctor told me to wait at least 18 months before trying to conceive again so that my body could heal, however each person is different. Now that you are pregnant, enjoy it. Forever your children will be considered Irish twins! Good luck!

Dear Clarie, cheer up, till now i still dont know why my baby died when i was 37 wk, but everybody told me to think positively that the baby is just not fated to be with you...and you will feel better, you should do that 2. Try to keep yourself occupied, try not to be alone, go back to work early or get something to do, drink more tonics to build your body for the next pregnancy, but dont overdo.....:) My Gynae told me 3 months should be enough for me when i go for preconception advice, you should maybe try to consult other gynea for second opinion.

Claire, After my daughter died in December, I waited until my 8 weeks were up before returning to work. I wanted to give myself time to heal so I could have another one soon. Also, taking that time is essential for grief - I couldn't work a full week at first because the grief was exhausting. Be good to yourself, but be sure to make steps forward. Good luck!

Aliyah, you should be happy about your second child also. Lots of women have had babies close together. My first three children are 18 months apart. My mom had 6 kids starting at age 18 and ending at age 28. That is 6 kids in 10 years time. I have 5 children my first two were c-section. My first child was breech and an automactic c-section. My second child was a c-section, but it was an emergency section because he had fetal distress. My mid-wife couldn't see why I couldn't have a natural birth and I have had 3 natural births since the c-sections. I am expection my 6th child and my delema is that the closest hospital won't let me have this baby natural at their hospital, because of the sections, so I have to drive an hour and a half to a hospital that will let me deliver natural. Hopefully my labor won't be too quick I would rather have the baby in the hospital and not on the way to.

nicole, i know the morning sickness bites but i found it comforting with my second pregnancy. i had none in my first pregnancy and i ended up losing my little girl. when i was so sick with the second, the nurses that my mother works with told me that the sickness means that the baby is taking a tole on your body and by that you can tell that it is for sure alive and healthy - so with every sick night and day came a comforting thought. i now have a five month old beautiful boy, born by cecarean. i still mourn my daughter and my thoughts and prayers are with all of you who have experienced losses. i was told at one point that God will give you the exact right child for the exact right time in your life.

My mom had my me and my sister both by c-sec in the '80's 14months apart. She had a verticle cut both times (but not up the middle, more up the side.) but managed rather well. It is possible, you may end up having a c-sec again though because labour could rupture the previous incision.

i had a baby 4 weeks ago sadly he was still born i really wont a baby now my consultant told me 3 months is fine iff i can wait that long but he said it would be ok 6 weeks after because your stomach dosnt stretch till about 3 months any way .

I had a C-Section due to placental abruption at 27 weeks and the baby died 2 days later. I have been told to wait 3 months before trying again. You will be fine just take it easy.

I had a c-section with my first, when she was 5 mths, we got pregnant...my dr said nothing about getting preg too soon. We weren't trying to it just happened. She would not come down, I was over a week late, the induce and still no progress. The dr figured the second would be the same...so 2-c--sections...both healthy kids now 5 and 4 (14 mths apart). Be prepared for another, the baby will fine, and so will you. Your dr will know if you can delivery v____ally or not, your body will tell them if it's ready.
