Patient's question:
I have been trying to conceive recently, but I have already given birth to three daughters. This time, I want a boy. Since two of my previous three daughters were born via cesarean section, I would like to ask if the risk of giving birth to the fourth child naturally is high?Doctor's answer:
If the last two births were Caesarean sections, the uterus will be scarred. Blindly attempting a fourth pregnancy carries significant risks, let alone considering a vaginal birth. With a scarred uterus and two previous surgeries, the uterine muscle fibers have poor elasticity. During pregnancy or delivery, there is always a risk of rupture, which could be life-threatening. Therefore, if you have this intention, you should first consult a doctor, undergo an ultrasound examination to check the healing of the uterine scar, and then make a decision about the next steps. Additionally, it's important to note that having another baby does not guarantee it will be a boy.
