Patient's question:
Doctor, hello, I had a cesarean section six months ago. I forgot to breastfeed last night and want to take emergency contraception. Is that okay? It's been a year already, can I take birth control pills? Besides the fact that it's been a year, can I focus on having a second child?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you mentioned, it is not advisable to get pregnant with the second child within a year of a cesarean section. It is better to wait for two years or more, as a scarred uterus poses a risk of rupture during the later stages of pregnancy when the uterus grows. If you have had sexual intercourse without taking effective contraceptive measures, you can take emergency contraception pills, but they have significant side effects, so it is best to avoid using them. It is recommended to use condoms, especially during breastfeeding, as it is also not good for the baby. A positive mood is very helpful for recovery from the illness.
