Hi everyone, my name is Dr. Skyde-Yong and I'm talking to you from Vieta Lab, a fertility center in Johannesburg, South Africa. Today we'll be discussing the inter-primency period. So what is the inter-primency period? It's the time period between the last day of your previous pregnancy, whether that ended in the miscarriage or in a live birth, and the first day of your next pregnancy. So how long should you be waiting between pregnancies? There's a lot of information out there, but basically the general consensus is that you should not be falling pregnant within six months of delivery. The reason for this is that if you do, your following pregnancy can be complicated with bleeding during pregnancy, pre-term delivery, and depression in the month. Also, more than six months gives you time to give back to your pre-primency weight and gives you time to restore your iron stores. If you've had a previous cesarean section, the advice is that you should delay pregnancy for 18 months from one Caesar to the next. So what does that mean? When your baby is nine months old, that's when you can start trying a game.
