Patient's question:
I'm 31 and about to have my second child, but the doctor told me to prepare for a possible C-section. My first child was also born via C-section back then, and now I'm a bit scared that the second one might also need a C-section. Will it cause significant harm to my body in the future? If I don't have it, it's not like that either. It's really difficult.Doctor's answer:
The first child was born via cesarean section, and the second child can be naturally delivered, which is equivalent to the first birth. If you plan to have a natural birth, you need to tolerate the pressure of uterine contractions and the stimulation of the scar during the dilation of the cervix. In some cases, especially when there are complications, the second birth is directly based on a cesarean section because a scarred uterus carries the risk of uterine rupture, dystocia, and other complications during childbirth. A repeat cesarean section is generally scheduled one week earlier.
