How long after C-Sect can you have another child?

Hi all, I had my first child via normal delivery with forceps more than 10 years ago, but until today, I am still afraid of the pain/process. I'm now already in my late 30s and pregnant with my 2nd child and want to give birth via c-sect. I wish to have another child if I can, but how long after c-sect can we get pregnant again? I don't wish to wait another 2-3 years as l'll be 40s. Any mummies got pregnant again within 1.5 years after c-sect?

Doctors recommend waiting for 18-24 months before trying but I got pregnant 9 months after my first c sect. My kids are 18 months apart. Another of friend of mine got pregnant 6 months after her first c sect and she is fine too.
