Hi. I am 32 years old and my husband is 35 years old. I gave birth to a baby around 3 and 1/2 months back after more than three years. it was a c-section delivery. i want to plan for a second child. i want to know:
1. how long should i wait before trying for a second baby.
2. what should be the age gap between first and second baby.
3. Considering my age what are the risks involved with late or early planning of baby.
4.please recommend when should i start trying and when should i actually deliver

You really need to be discussing this with your doctor.  I don't think anyone here can really give you answers.  There are many things to consider, such as why you had the c-section in the first place, was it an emergency, was your pregnancy complicated, etc.   After my first c-section, I was told to wait a year.  I had my c-section because my baby was breech.  There is almost 3 years between my girls, which has been perfect for us.  I think your best bet is to make an appointment to discuss this with your doctor.  Your doctor will have your health history, and help you make the right choice.  You really want to make sure that you ttc when it is safe, and your uterus has healed.  Good luck!
