How many times can a Cesarean section be performed?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I have already given birth to two daughters through a cesarean section, but my husband and mother-in-law have very traditional ideas and insist on having a son to carry on the family name. My husband suggested that I have another baby. I am very worried about my body. How many times can a cesarean section be performed at most?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, it is recommended to have two C-sections, but some people may have three. However, there is one point to note: as the number of C-sections increases, the risk to the mother's life becomes greater. The specific situation should be determined based on individual circumstances. If you want to have a third baby, you must wait at least two years. Go to the hospital for pre-pregnancy testing. If the incision and overall physical condition are suitable, you can prepare to conceive your third baby.
