Patient's question:
Second child, scarred uterus, 23 weeks, 3mm. The doctor said it's thin. Later, I want to eat watermelon. After eating two slices, I felt full. Will it affect the scar?Doctor's answer:
Hello, this is not allowed. Generally, it should be more than two years, because there have been cases of uterine rupture at 8 months of pregnancy after cesarean delivery. If a woman becomes pregnant again after a cesarean section, she should wait at least two years. This is because the incision on the uterine wall does not heal well in the short term after a cesarean section. Early pregnancy, due to the development of the fetus, causes the uterus to continuously enlarge, making the uterine wall thinner, especially at the surgical incision site, which is connective tissue and lacks elasticity. Fresh scars are easily burst during the late stages of pregnancy or delivery, which can cause severe internal bleeding and even threaten life. Therefore, it is safer to wait at least two years before becoming pregnant again after surgery.
