After having a c-section how long did it take you to get pregnant with second child?? My son in 15 months. I have regular periods and keep up with my obvulating days but still nothing.

Are you breast feeding?
7 months after my 1st and 3 months after my 2nd c section. But I also nursed each time and that made my periods wonky.
I got pregnant when my first was 3 months old.
If you’re breastfeeding it can make it harder to get pregnant even after your periods come back, i had a c-section, was ebf, no bc, got pregnant when she was 18 months.
I lost my first baby at 26 weeks in November 10th 2013, I had an emergency c section due to preeclampsia and she was so small
She didn’t make it. My OB advised me to wait a year and of course i didn’t. I got a positive test in March and delivered a very healthy rainbow at 37 weeks in November 5th 2014 almost a year to the date.
I think it really depends on if your breast feeding and if your periods are back to normal.
My first was not planned so I always assumed I would get pregnant fairly easy the second time. Boy was I wrong!! It took us 9 months of TTC (tracking ovulation constantly, using ovulation kits to confirm, the whole 9 yards) & nothing- month after month. It was frustrating and it worried me a lot - but the month I finally decided to just relax and step back from the stress of it all, it finally happened & now we have a 3 week old baby boy!
It will happen, mama! Be patient with yourself

8 months, 1 year, and 18 months
Having a csection doesn’t effect you getting pregnant. Everyone is different. Some women get pregnant immediately after having a baby, even though you should space it out after having a csection so your body can heal. I wouldn’t rush it
Having a c section affects fertility ??
C section & fertility are two separate topics. One doesn’t effect the other. What u need to consult with ur doctor is how long to wait after a c section to get pregnant. Just bc u want to be fully healed before stretching your belly again & possibly opening the incision for another c section.
With my 1st 2 children I got pregnant exactly 4 weeks after my c section. My 2 oldest are only 10 months apart!!!

I had a C-section 5 years ago cuz I was pregnant with twins, I ended up getting pregnant like 4-6 months after I had them.
Breastfeeding can makes it take longer. It’s like a natural b.c. I got pregnant about 14 months after my 2nd and 3rd c sections. My 2nd wasn’t breastfed, and I got prego after 14 months, 3rd was breastfed for 11 months, still got prego at 14 months. My 3 youngests are all 23 months apart.
My boys are 16m apart. I had a c section and suffer from pcos
My kids are 12 months apart
Honestly the longer U can heal your body the better I have big gaps between my kids and I’ve had 4 c-sections

5th csection will be this August 2020
all csections, not to big of gaps…
They recommend waiting 2 years to heal… i understand ppl get pregnant sooner but im just letting know i waited 2 year between my 2nd and 3rd and my 3rd pregnancy was horribly painful, I was on bedrest by 30 weeks… i understand everyone’s body is different just be ready to deal with the possibility of a rough pregnancy
Had my twins 2005. Had their brother 2010. It’s recommended after any pregnancy to wait a year so your body can heal abs replenish the blood So at least a year would wait. But honestly when it’s time for you to have another one it will happen
I got pregnant 5 months after my c-section with no issues.
Ive never had a c section. I didn’t know it had an impact on fertility for the next child ?

My kids are 17 months apart. I had a csection.
Between my 1st and second little over 4 yrs but I had an iud but between my 2nd and 3rd their 15 months apart and between my 3rd and 4th their almost 20 months apart
It didn’t matter for me. I had a csection with my now 18month old one 2019 in September and just had my four month old in feb of this year. It was the easiest of all my pregnancies. I didn’t have any symptoms for months, no gestational diabetes unlike the rest of my kids, least amount of weight gain. Like it was a breeze. Had the fastest delivery of all my kids, legit took 11 minutes and she was out in about three pushes. Everybody responds diff. Just make sure regardless you stay on prenatals. I’ve been trying for another but my fiancé has fertility issues unfortunately so it’s a chore for us to get pregnant. My other kids were from a prior ship.
My boys are so close on age everyone thought they were and are twins
I got pregnant after my first c section when my daughter was about 7 months old… my first 2 are 15 months apart… I’m now 6 months pregnant w my 3rd. Started trying when my youngest was about 2 and it took 2 years of trying! But it finally happened… I believe healthy body weight and healthy diet helps a lot when ttc
Twins born in 81 and my daughter in 85 only reason for C-section is I didn’t know I was having twins one natural and the other C-section
My son was 8 months when I got pregnant with my daughter. They are 16 months apart
I’ve had 4 c sections. My first in 2011 then ten months later my second in 2012 then I had my third c section with twins in 2013. My fourth was in 2018 largest gap lol. All of them were good. Everyone’s body is different.
A year and 7 months.
I do not believe there is an impact on fertility because of a c section. I recommend taking CONCEPTION vitamin supplements by EU NATURAL. Should help!
My 1st and 2nd are 22 months apart…i wanted to vbac so I made sure there was at least 18 months from deliver to deliver
I got pregnant 5 months after I believe
I waited 2 years to get pregnant with my second.
My daughter was 15 months old when I got pregnant with my second daughter… both c sections…
I tried for about 5ish months to get pregnant with the 2nd which was longer than the first time who it took 6 weeks with.
Hang in there
We started trying about a month before our son turned 1 and I was pregnant a month later.
4 months after my c section with twins
Maybe 2-3 months once I started actively trying.
We weren’t actively trying but it took 4yrs…
We weren’t trying, and I was on birth control but my son was 13 months old when I found out I was pregnant again.
Wasn’t Trying But My Son Was About 3 Months Old When I Got Pregnant With My 2nd Son & Then Got Pregnant When My 2nd Son Was 2 Months Old Currently 26 Weeks With Another Boy
Took me 3 years after my first c section
10 months after my C-section we unexpectedly got pregnant. My cycle was predictable Even after my C-section but that 10th month something clearly changed lol
My son was 3 months I’m currently pregnant 16 weeks now
lets just say i have a 6 yr old and 5 yr old. So quickly!
Depends on your age also over 35 can take longer to conceive naturally every women’s body is different
We never tried but my daughter was 13mo.
10 months actively trying. I got pregnant with my first in 1 month. Second took forever. We also waited a bit for the second one but we started trying for the next when our first baby was 2.
About 5 months after; while breastfeeding
i only had 2 cycles once they came back
My first was 15 months and it was unexpected, I was also 38.
It took us 14 months of trying to conceive Baby #2. Had zero health issues. Under 35. Doctor thinks I have endometriosis from c-section and that’s what caused the possible issues trying to conceive. I’m now 30 weeks pregnant and my first born just turned three. Wishing you all the best!
I got a 2 year old and been trying for 2nd over a year now im under 25 no health issues tracking ovulation etc stll nothing whetere as my 1st born i got pregnant straight away
I had my second child via c section then I found out I was pregnant two months later…had a miscarriage…but c sections have nothing to do with that. Usually a woman is SUPPPPERRRR fertile after having a baby regardless on how she had the child.
I had c-sections with all 3 of my kids and my youngest 2 are a year and 14 days apart. So pretty damn fast lol
I got pregnant after c section when my son was 9 months old. Was able to have a VBAC for my daughter then didn’t get pregnant for 4 years after having her. I truly believe STRESS is a major factor when it comes to your body being ready to get pregnant again. I went off work literally one and a half months taking a much needed break from chaos and got pregnant without even thinking about it.
