I have 3 living children who are perfectly healthy and had normal pregnancies except with my last it resulted in a c-section in Dec. of 2005 due to her being breach. My oldest was born in June of 02 and my second in July of 03 and then I got pregnant again less than 2 years after my second in March of 05. Now I know that this was normal for women to have many babies in the past as my Grandmother had 8 children one right after another but can having babies so close together cause miscarriages. I have also read on other sites that they are finding out previous c-sections are causing miscarriages as it has not been proved yet. I really do not want to wait to long. I am going to the Doctor for my checkup on Monday and I am going to ask these same questions but if anyone has any advise let me know. Thanks!

i read somewhere that getting pregnant before your child is 18 months old can be correlated with a higher miscarriage rate, but i think the increase was pretty small.

I had a friend that has 6 kids and they are pretty much around 1 to 2 years apart. She has never had any miscarriages, and as you said back in the older days women had tons of babies without any problems. I would give it at least 1 year after the birth of a child before I would try to get pregnant again. As for the c-section theory I had that because of the scarring that a c-section leaves behind it can be the cause of several different problems. But I wouldnt worry your fine Im sure. The dr. will give you peace of mind

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
