I had a planned c section and was recommended to give it 12 months before next getting pregnant x
I was told 18m at least to allow your internal layers to fully heal and lower the risks for you and baby. We started trying when our girl was about to turn 2 and got pregnant first cycle. No issues at all in this second pregnancy for me or baby.
Was advised 18 months by the drs
I got pregnant 6 months after my emergency C-section and had absolutely no issues during my second pregnancy. After having my second (another emergency C-section) they did say it would be better to have a gap of 18 months before putting my body through it all again if we wanted a third.

They recommend 18 months between pregnancies, but we wanted babies close together. So we started trying when my first was 3 months, took 10 months to fall pregnant with my second.
