Patient's question:
I am 8.5 months pregnant with my third child via C-section today and had a detailed ultrasound examination. The thickness of my uterus is 0.36 cm. Is this normal? Can I have a natural labor later?Doctor's answer:
This thickness is normal, and it is not recommended to have a natural birth; a cesarean section is safer. It is advised to relax your mood, have regular prenatal check-ups, and closely monitor the fetal growth and development, as well as any changes in the placenta and amniotic fluid. In fact, having a cesarean section is not frightening at all. Patients should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as timely treatment is provided at an early stage, the chances of alleviating the condition and recovering are very high.
