When Should I Get Pregnant Again?
I had a CS in the 33rd week of pregnancy in June 2010. The baby died. In your opinion when is the first time when I could concider another pregnancy. I am 39 years old. I do not want to wait for a long time. Thank you very much for your answer. Regards, Anja (Slovenia)

Dear Anja,
You have waited for more than sufficient time. Usually the uterine scar of the caesarean section gets healed firmly by 6 weeks after surgery. Still we advise to have at least 3 years gap between the two pregnancies if one is by caesarean section. It is now 5 years that have passed after your previous caesarean section. Now you can safely go for pregnancy.
Hope this helps you.
