Alessandra,

Thank you so much for posting this question! And congratulations on A) you're nine month old (who I'm sure is starting to get into everything!) and B)your pregnancy.

By the time you have your second child, it will have been more than a year since your last. That's plenty of time to heal.

Rest easy, you've got plenty of time to have a healthy body and a healthy baby. In fact, just because you had a c-section with the first doesn't mean you have to have a c-section with the next one.

Talk to your doctor about a VBAC - a vaginal delivery after previous cesareans.

with care,
Heather ;-)

My baby refused all bottles until you showed me the MAM bottle. Thank you so much for the recommendation. I wouldn't have known about them if not for your website.
