Can a woman who has had two cesarean sections get pregnant again?

Patient's question:

I have had two cesarean sections, three years apart, and am now pregnant. I don't know if I can have this baby.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, a Cesarean section is generally only possible twice, and the interval before pregnancy should be more than two years to allow the injured uterus to fully recover before undertaking a major task. For those who have undergone two Cesarean sections, it is not recommended to have a third Cesarean surgery, as the risks involved would be very high, and there is even a danger of uterine rupture during pregnancy, which could endanger both the fetus and your own life. Additionally, a heavily scarred uterus may lead to excessive bleeding or abnormal contractions during surgery, which would similarly affect your health.
