Can a woman who had a cesarean section be pregnant after eleven months and still give birth?

Patient's question:

I had a cesarean section to give birth to my child eleven months ago in the hospital. Now I am pregnant again. Can I give birth after having a cesarean section eleven months ago?

Doctor's answer:

As a Caesarean section, it is generally necessary to wait for two years before getting pregnant again. According to your description, it has only been 11 months since the Caesarean section, and you are pregnant again now. Generally speaking, the interval is still too short. The thickness of the scar on the uterine incision often cannot withstand the stress of a subsequent pregnancy, and reducing the pressure can again pose the risk of uterine rupture and severe bleeding, which can be life-threatening. It is advisable not to give birth and to consider terminating the early pregnancy.
