Getting pregnant after c section birth is possible but doctors do want most women to wait at least a few months before doing so, in order to allow their body's to fully heal. The cesarean birth of a child does result in significant damage to the body's internal organs and the need for those organs, including the uterus, to heal is very important. Most doctors recommend waiting 18 to 24 months before conceiving another child. This is the same amount of time doctors recommend for having a baby vaginally. For those who wish to become pregnant sooner than this, it is necessary to speak to your doctor regarding doing so. Complications of not waiting include the potential risks to the body, a higher premature delivery rate, and the chance of uterine rupture.
