Patient's question:
First C-section three years ago, now pregnant at 38 weeks. Ultrasound shows a 2.3mm thick scar. Can I have a natural birth?Doctor's answer:
After two years of a cesarean section, it is possible to conceive again, and the delivery method can be either a vaginal birth or another cesarean section. This thickness does not indicate any problem, so close and careful observation during labor is necessary. Generally, there should be no major issues. If the pelvis is good and the (fetal position) is correct, it can be attempted.For the patient, if the condition after the cesarean section is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment should be provided, and appropriate medications should be used. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrent cesarean section. Additionally, the patient needs to pay attention to their diet and psychological care.
