How soon can we start trying for a baby after a cesarean?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

As you delivered the baby by caesarean, the wound takes some more time to heal. If you become pregnant before two years, then there is a chance of weak scar due to early stretching over the scar. Ideally, you should wait for three years. But you can start trying for pregnancy after a year.It is not advisable to conceive before one a year as it has its risk to pregnancy as well as baby due to weak scar. So it is better to plan after a year. Till then wait and build your health. I wanted a few information so as to give you the most relevant opinion and suggestions.

1. What is the reason for caesarean and at what month was it performed and why?
2. Were there any complications during or after caesarean?
3. What were the reasons for the baby not surviving? What was the baby's weight at birth?
4. What is your hemoglobin level at present?

I suggest you start taking Folic acid 5 mg once daily, two to three months before planning for next the pregnancy. This is recommended by WHO. Folic acid will help in decreasing some problems in the baby.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I suggest you at least start taking oral Folic acid. The best advice is to plan lately. If you are eager and want to plan early, then have a close watch on the next pregnancy. Try to wait for at least three more months and then start in by the fourth month. It is a high-risk pregnancy. So, do your hemoglobin test and if required take treatment for that. If your health is not good, then it can affect the baby. You will have to undergo an elective cesarean this time during the near term according to baby's weight and uterine scar thickness.
