,  you are not off to a late start-your timing is great .with modern medicine advanced the way it is ,women can start families in their 40's .please wait!-at least until you are in your thirties. establish your career -your own identity. Make sure you have yourself financially established -great credit , etc. . invest your own money in   property (houses). pay off student loans, then enjoy being a couple ,take trips and really build on your friendship with your boyfriend.

as a nurse,and someone who is experiencing fertility problems myself, i would recommend seeing your ob/gyn asap if you plan to try and conceive again. as i'm sure you know, trying to conceive may take a few years, and you especially may encounter difficulty since you had a difficult time the first time. you mentioned that you used "assisted reproductive technology", so i assume that you used clomid, had the full workup and all that? although 42 is by no means old, after the age of 35, the risk of down's syndrome increases dramatically. it would be in your best interest to have a meeting with your ob/gyn to discuss what you must do to become pregnant as soon as possible. Best of luck to you and your husband!!

Well,ideally speaking,you should wait for 1 full year after your C-section before getting pregnant.This allows the uterine scar to heal thoroughly,thus reducing the chances of uterine rupture in your next  labour,and also to reduce the risk of the placenta attaching to the site of incision ,causing different problems.\nBUT,when all is said and done,you are only 5 months away from the 'ideal' and l have known patients who delivered safely in similar circustances to yours,so don't worry.The 'ideal' is a guide and not an absolute.

Everyone thinks you should have a baby coz they have been conditioned to think that all normal people must have kids especially after they marry. Now they do not realise that exceptions exist. Bide your time, listen to them but do not get upset by their comments.

you are a practicing doctor. You should know the answer yourself...\nGet your baby born first. Then, think of exercise.\nyour question doesnt relate to your explaination. Idont know which to answer. Does your pregnancy has something to do with "how long what kaind of sudies you have to do"?

Yeah I'm with her. Get married first, but don't get married because you to want a baby together because that's not the way to go. The to of you should really love each other enough before you even consider marriage or a baby! Out of that love a child should be conceived, and not because one or the other of you just wants to have a baby. Seriously, think about it before you have the WHAT-IF'S ans WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN thoughts in you mind.

I get your joke!  If there is a 14 month waiting list, then the baby would already be born!  Good one!  (I had to explain that for the rest of the peeps out there)\n\n  I am a pro-lifer too~\n\nI like how you took a serious subject and put a little humor in it!\nGood show!

there is no way anybody here can answer that for you, the fact that you feel the need to ask is not a good sign though.  make sure you can take care of yourself and your baby on your own in case it doesn't though, its the best way to protect yourself against the possibility that it won't and you are now responsible for another life.  why are you having a child with someone you have so many doubts about?

The baby needs to be fully developed.  Why risk it even further with the baby being born too early.

The New England Journal of Medicine recently published a study suggesting that parents should wait 18 to 23 months after a full-term birth before conceiving again.  Interestingly enough, the average age gap between siblings in America is about two and a half years -- which means we must be following this advice!  I personally have two sisters, one 6 years older and the other 11 years older, and we get along famously.  You have to worry about competition between siblings when the age gap is too small; but with families with wide gaps in age between the siblings, you have to worry that they'll be raised almost like one "only child" after another.  Best,\n`k.

Trying to conceive for a year or more warrants a trip to see your doctor to get checked out to make sure everything is ok.  He may refer you to a fertility specialist.  Your partner should also be checked out.  The major reason for having problems is stress- so relax and let things happen naturally.

I think you should talk to your friend and ask him why he wants a baby and if he's ready for the commitment.\n\nGood Luck.

Do you mean too soon as in too young or too soon as in too soon since you were pregnant before?  If you mean too soon since your last pregnancy, it's not so much dangerous as it is depleting to your body.  Your (unborn) baby gets the nutrition it needs from you--whether you get any to replace it or not.  Waiting a few months lets your body re-charge, so to speak.\n\nHope that helps.

Because your time has not come yet. Just because everyone around you is having babies and may be married does not mean that you must be too.  Do not base your life on everyone elses nor try to copy what they do. Life your own live and do your own things, when the time is right the rest will all fall into place. There is a plan for each one of us, and when the time is right, that plan will take affect, for now live life loud and cheerfully...
