Can a woman who had a cesarean section three years ago get pregnant with twins?

Patient's question:

I had a cesarean section for my first child, and it has been three years. I am pregnant again now, and it is said to be twins. I would like to ask if it is possible to have them.
First follow-up question: Will the original incision be torn open? I am very scared, and I hope to get a professional and accurate answer!! Thank you very much!!

Doctor's answer:

It depends on the development size of your twins. Generally, twins are delivered via cesarean section at 30-39 weeks because the uterus cannot withstand the pressure of twins in the late stages of pregnancy. Therefore, it is rare for twins to be delivered before their due date unless the babies are underdeveloped. It is recommended that you regularly check in with your hospital and, if necessary, you can be admitted to the hospital a few days early to monitor the progress of labor and the condition of the fetal heartbeat.
