Pregnancy after c-section?

Has anyone had a hard time getting pregnant after having a c-section? I'm 26, and have a 6-year-old son who was born via c-section. I am trying again, but it doesn't seem to be happening. I'm just wondering if anyone has had any difficulties conceiving after a c-section. Any suggestions to set my mind at ease would be VERY helpful. Thanks!

Pregnancy after c-section?
I had a procedure done 2 yrs ago that caused scar tissue on my uterus, the doctor told me that it was very unlikely to conceive, and if I did I would not be able to carry to term. NOT to frighten you. The procedure caused most of my uterus to be covered in scar tissue. A C-section only causes a small area to be scarred. Also I knew a girl had same problem, her doctor went in to remove scar tissue and she was pregnant within a year. So my best advice is see your doctor.


Good Luck.
Reply:A c-section has nothing to do with fertility or lack there of. You should consult your Dr. for reasons why your trying is not working. Good luck.

Reply:Several women in my family has had c-sections and was able to have more children. I suggest you check with your Dr. to see if there's something else wrong. Some women have a hard time getting pregnant the 2nd time around.
Reply:It is possible for a c-section to cause scar tissue that could make implantation of an embryo more difficult but I think it is unusual. There is a test that can be done called an HSG (Hysterosalpingogram) that can tell if there are any uterine abnormalities.You may want to ask your DR about it. You do not say how long you have been ttc but just to reassure you it can take a while and it doesn't mean that there is anything wrong. Good luck and I hope that you get good news soon!
