Doctor's answer:

Hello, it's a pleasure to assist you. Based on your situation, the third cesarean section carries certain risks for both the mother and the child, and it increases the likelihood of uterine rupture. Generally, it is advisable to have no more than three cesarean sections, and it is important to weigh the pros and cons. Multiple cesarean deliveries can increase the risk of uterine rupture in subsequent pregnancies. If there is a long interval since the last birth, it is possible to conceive, but prenatal care should be strengthened to avoid uterine rupture.
With a history of two previous cesarean sections, the risk of pregnancy again is significant. Even with a long interval, it is necessary to give it careful consideration. After pregnancy, you are considered a high-risk pregnant woman and need to maintain good prenatal care, undergo regular prenatal examinations, and seek medical attention promptly if any abnormalities occur.
