Hello,
Thank you for your query.

No it is not advisable to get pregnant so soon. A minimum of 2 years from the date of delivery is advisable.
The body needs to recuperate, the wound needs to heal and essential nutrients required for a healthy baby in pregnancy and for breastfeeding needs to be replenished.

If you are breast feeding, periods can be irregular.

I recommend :
-a home pregnancy test. If negative, use a safe mode of contraception.
Avoid pregnancy for another 2 years.

-if positive, consult your OBGYN to check you health and that of your baby (new baby). Proper care and regular check up can ensure a safe confinement.
This however will be an operation again.
Hope this helps. Please take care and let me know if there is anything else I can help you with.
Wish you good health
