After a C-section, your body needs time to heal before another pregnancy. Most doctors recommend waiting at least 12 to 18 months before trying to conceive again. Some

Why the wait?

• It gives your womb time to heal and reduces the risk of complications in the next pregnancy.
• It lowers the chances of uterine rupture or problems with the placenta.
• Your body and energy levels need to recover, especially if you're breastfeeding or caring for a newborn.

Risks of getting pregnant too soon after a C-section:

• Uterine rupture: This is a rare but serious complication where the scar on the uterus opens up during a subsequent pregnancy or labor.
• Placental problems: Such as placenta previa or placental abruption.
• Preterm birth

However, every woman’s recovery is different. If you’re thinking about getting pregnant again, talk to your doctor for personalized advice based on your health and healing.

Remember: It's okay to wait. A well-spaced pregnancy helps protect both mother and baby.
