Hi, I was generally ok with my 2nd pregnancy except a preterm scare at wk 32, but I don't think that has anything to do with getting preggy so soon...
My mum n mil jus kept asking me not to carry my #1 coz worry of my csect wound. Externally, e wound may hv recovered but it potentially take up or more than 1 yr for internal wound to heal 100%.
I took longer to resume normal activities after #2 csect. Was in terrible pain for 2-3 days after which the nurses all explained it was likely coz both csects were too close and e wound fr #1 hadn't healed properly. I jus made sure I took pain killers when needed, wore the binder for 1 mth and tried not to carry my #1 n newborn so often during the 1st 2 mths.
Will suggest that you speak to ur Gynae and ask for advises as different ppl may hv different experience.
As for ofc, I was very out front w my boss once I knew of my pregnancy. Err..as for friends, I didn't see a need to explain anything. In fact, our friends and relatives were happy for us.
There are definitely some pros and cons to hv another one so soon.. E initial 12-18m are more tiring...but now that my boys are older at 3 and 4, they are very close and have a lot of fun together. And we try to teach them together though the younger one may not b 100% ready. Furthermore, we only had to go thru the night-"mare" of feeding and carrying at 1 go...
