Patient's question:
I am a child born via cesarean section one and a half years ago, and now I am pregnant again. I am a bit worried. I would like to ask if it is possible to have a second child after a cesarean section one and a half years ago?Doctor's answer:
After giving birth via C-section for a year and a half, having another child is risky. Generally, we recommend waiting three years after a C-section before having another child for safety. In one and a half years, the uterus and abdominal wall wounds may not have fully healed. Both pregnancy and childbirth carry risks, with the main risks being uterine rupture or abdominal wall rupture. The most dangerous scenario is that uterine rupture can lead to severe bleeding, which is very risky. For severe C-section patients, it is advised to seek medical attention as soon as possible and follow the doctor's advice for early treatment. Avoid blindly relying on advertisements or medications for treatment to prevent the condition from worsening.
