Patient's question:
The child already has many brothers, so my partner and I don't want to have more children. I had a D&C (dilation and curettage) procedure, but three months after the surgery, I became pregnant again. So, I want to ask if it's safe to carry this pregnancy to term after a D&C three months prior.Doctor's answer:
Three months after a D&C, pregnancy begins again. It is better to wait six months after a D&C before trying to conceive again. Early pregnancy is more prone to threatened miscarriage, miscarriage, low-lying placenta, placenta accreta, or late-term implantation, but it generally does not have an adverse effect on the child's development. You can keep your child, but be careful to maintain a balance between rest and activity. It is best to rest more and avoid symptoms of miscarriage. It is recommended that you undergo an ultrasound examination to determine if the pregnancy is normal.
