Patient's question:
Can you have another child after a year and a half of a cesarean section? The incision hasn't fully healed yet, and it's still red.Doctor's answer:
Principally, women should wait at least two years after a cesarean section before having another child. If a child is conceived within two years of a cesarean delivery, there is an increased risk of the uterine incision tearing again.After a cesarean surgery, the incision on the uterine wall does not heal completely in the short term. If a woman becomes pregnant too soon, as the fetus grows, the uterus will continue to shrink, and the uterine wall will gradually thin. At this point, the original surgical incision, which has not yet fully healed, may tear during the late stages of early pregnancy or during labor. This can lead to severe uterine bleeding and even threaten the mother's life.
