Hello, Thank you for your query. No it is not advisable to get pregnant so soon. A minimum of 2 years from the date of delivery is advisable. The body needs to recuperate, the wound needs to heal, and essential nutrients required for a healthy baby in pregnancy and for breastfeeding needs to be replenished. If you are breastfeeding, periods can be irregular. I recommend :-a home pregnancy test. If negative, use a safe mode of contraception. Avoid pregnancy for another 2 years. -if positive, consult your ORGAN to check you health and that of your baby (new baby). Proper care and regular check up can ensure a safe confinement. This however will be an operation again. Hope this helps. Please take care and let me know if there is anything else I can help you with. Wish you good health
