Patient's question:
I have two children, both of whom were born via cesarean section. Now we are not planning to have any more children, and my husband and I have been consistently using contraception. However, last month, when he came back from work, it was particularly intense as usual, and we didn't use contraception. To our surprise, we got pregnant. What should we do if we get pregnant for the third time after a cesarean section?Doctor's answer:
After a Cesarean section, the third pregnancy is not recommended for you to have this child. It is advised to undergo medication-induced abortion. Medication abortion can be performed within 7 weeks of pregnancy. If it is less than this time, medication abortion cannot be done, and you will need to have an artificial abortion. During this period, avoid strenuous activities, overtime work, and excessive labor. The dietary taste should be much lighter. Even if you want this child, you cannot get pregnant within two years after a Cesarean section.In addition, during the treatment for a Cesarean section, apart from symptomatic treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also particularly important. The patient must prevent excessive mental tension and worry to avoid unnecessary impacts on the complete recovery from the Cesarean section.
