Jill I am so sorry for your loss and the difficult decision you had to make. Please see my post on Sat. May 15 regarding when to try to have a child after a c-section. This couple had an anencephalic child born by c-section. I think that advice applies to you also, although you will physically be in better shape to conceive faster than a full term pregnancy will. Good Luck.
