Should a woman who had a Cesarean section 10 months ago need an abortion?

Patient's question:

Got pregnant again, and now I'm very worried. I don't know if it will be harmful to the fetus or cause great harm to myself? Do you need an abortion?

Doctor's answer:

A Cesarean section requires waiting two years before trying to conceive again, as the incision on the uterine wall does not heal well in the short term. If pregnancy occurs too soon, the growth and development of the fetus cause the uterus to shrink continuously, making the uterine wall thin, especially at the surgical incision site, which is connective tissue with poor elasticity. Fresh scars are easily burst during the late stages of early pregnancy or labor, leading to severe abdominal bleeding and even threatening life. It is recommended to visit a hospital for an examination to assess the full recovery of the wound and the uterus. It may be that the baby cannot be carried to term.
