Based on my experiences having any type of pregnancy before 1 yr after a c-section is risky especially twin pregnancies. The uterus needs time to heal itself. You run a risk of what is called uterine rupture where the uterus becomes too thinned out and detaches and opens at the previous c-section suture line. This is considered a medical emergency, and 99% of the time causes excessive bleeding in the mother often requiring a blood transfusion. For the fetus it can causes sever hypoxia (lack of oxygen) sometimes ending up in fetal demise. If uterine rupture does occur the number one priority is to stabilize mom and deliver the baby. Stabilizing mom can be any treatment from blood transfusions to total hysterectomy. My advice is wait about 7 more months. If that is not possible your OBGYN will keep a very close watch over you, and may even send you to see a high risk specialist. Good Luck!

I think by risks you mean - are there risks to being pregnant with twins that soon after delivery?
The major risk after a c-section is that of uterine rupture. Although I don't know the statistics regarding twins, there is a small percentage of women who try to have a vaginal birth after c-section (VBAC) that have this complication. I would think that the uterus would be stretched even further by twins, and also that your uterus hasn't had very much time to heal up and develop the thick scar tissue.
It is something your doctor will watch closely, I'm sure you'll have multiple ultrasounds to keep an eye on things in there.
Good luck, and a healthy pregnancy to you.

Getting pregnant so right this moment after a c-section does impose an better threat of uterine rupture once you circulate into labor. be certain which you do communicate with your OB. extremely some the time, besides the indisputable fact that, uterine rupture happens while labor inducing drugs are used to boost labor....including petocin or the gels. So while this is time so you might have your toddler, this is truly useful to think of two times in the previous permitting any induction products for use on you.

I had two kids back to back, 10 months and 3 days apart, and I can tell you from experience that my second pregnancy was much harder than my first because my body hadn't had time to get back to "normal" after having my first daughter (c-section) and my incision wasn't completely healed either. I ended up with an emergency c-section with my second daughter because my body couldnt' support the pregnancy any longer and my scar had started to tear. I can only imagine that twins would be twice the strain. Good luck to you and take it as easy as possible, get your family and friends around you because you will need the extra hands and the support. God Bless!

Having twins is a chromosonal trait. That means that it has nothing to do with when you had a c-section but whether or not it is in your and your significant other blood line. Is there a history of twins on either side of the family?

i think u have to be on complete bed rest as the weight of the growing uterus can effect the stitches as by this time the stiches are not so much healed but i think a doctor will be able to guide u better,goodluck

You'll have to discuss that with your doctor. I'm not sure if you can rupture from that, but I would be very careful.
