High Risk Pregnancy b/c of having delivered less than a year ago?

[durhamjk1]

My ob's office is considering me a high risk pregnancy because I delivered my last baby less than a year ago.   I didn't know that and was just wondering if anyone else has heard of this and do you know of any complications that can occur... my ob's office wasn't really all that concerned b/c my last pregnancy and labor and delivery were great, they just said it was protocol....any input is great! Thanks

I got pregnant with my son when my daughter was 4 months old, and they're gunna be 13 months apart.
I had my daughter via c-section and might get to try a VBAC with this one, and I'm not high risk.

That's really weird, honestly. It is probably just his office's protocol because I have never heard of that before. And I know many, many women who've gotten pregnant before their first was a year (including myself, though I miscarried).

Same here, I gave birth on April 2009 and found out I was pregnant like around June.  I'm almost 5mths and my OB never mentioned me being high risk.  But like Laura said, it's a preacaution and that is a good thing!

I am not sure why they are doing this. I gave birth to my daughter via CSECTION on February 3, 2009 and in May 2009 found out I was pregnant and am due in february 2010. I am not considered high risk..even with a ceserean.....

Thanks!  That is basically what my ob's office told me, but I was just curious if anyone else had any info on it!!  THanks so much for responding!

I think they have to place in you in the "high risk" catergory because the body "needs" typically 12-18 months to heal ideally after a delivery. However, I don't think there is any *real* concern if your history doesn't warrant it. It sounds to me like a precaution, and that is a good thing. Good Luck! =)
