I don't get it...

Happily Overwhelmed

I had my 6 week check up yesterday. My doctor went on and on about how well my c-section went and how I've recovered (I left the hospital less than 30 hours after the section).

Anyways...I asked when we could start trying again. DH and I struggle with TTC (our first too 23 months to get pregnant with). Ideally I'd like to start in 6 months again (with the thought maybe it will be a long process again). I'm 25 but we'd like our children somewhat close together.

My doctor said to be sure and wait at least a year to try again. I could understand this if I had a hard recovery, if my body wasn't cooperating, etc. But that doesn't seem to be the case.

What I don't get is I see several cases like mine with women in their mid 30's to even early 40's where they are told they don't have to wait (I've read several today alone on the bump). Why is it my younger body can't handle back to back c-sections but these women are encouraged to do so? There are still the risks...if not more???? Right?
