Patient's question:
I am a woman, currently 34 years old. My first child is already seven years old. When I gave birth to him, I had a cesarean section. Now I have a second child, and I want to have a natural birth for the second one. I would like to know if it is possible to have an epidural during a natural birth after having a cesarean birth for the first child.Doctor's answer:
If your first child was born via C-section, it's best to stick with C-section for the second one. Avoid getting the painless labor injection during a natural birth, as it's not good for your health. Otherwise, there's a risk of unexpected complications. It's recommended that you undergo a prenatal check-up, which is a necessary step, to see if there are indications for a C-section. Decide based on your own situation. Don't blindly opt for a natural birth; instead, focus on maintaining good lifestyle habits.
