pregnancy too soon after c-section?

i delivered my second baby by c-section in sept 2011 and now when my baby is 5 months old, i found out that im 2 months pregnant now. my doc told me the risks associated with this pregnancy because of the incision in uterus has completely healed or not ( i will be due by sept end) , does anyone know how much time does it take for the scar to get completely healed and if i would be able to deliver this baby full term without any complications?. if any one has had similar experience like mine, please help me. i desperately want to continue this pregnancy. please advise!!!

Thanks ladies. My doctor is 100% postive about continung this pregnancy, but she has explained the possible complications to us like we cant tell if the incision has completely healed or not. She wants me to be very careful this tme without doing anything that might gve stress to the scar in my uterus.  I am praying for a stress-free 7 more months and a healthy baby, all the better if its a girl as I already have 2 boys and this is my last chance ever!

It takes almost a year for it to fully heal inside and out. Just be careful and listen to your doctor!

No. My mother in law had a baby 11 months after her c section. Her and the baby were perfectly healthy
