A member asked:

How long does a c-section heal and how long must one wait to try and have a child again?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

At least one year: between pregnancies would be my advice. Full healing of the surgical scar takes this long. Discuss with your doctor, prior to starting another pregnancy.
