Patient's question:
I had a cesarean section 7 months ago and got pregnant again. I have been taking birth control pills for two and a half months. Can I continue?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, you have had a cesarean section for 7 months. Due to poor healing of the incision on the uterine wall after the cesarean section in the short term, early pregnancy can cause the uterus to shrink continuously due to the growth and development of the fetus, making the uterine wall thinner. Especially the connective tissue at the incision site lacks elasticity. Fresh scars are easily burst during the late stages of early pregnancy or during labor, which can lead to severe internal bleeding and even threaten life. It is recommended that women who have undergone a cesarean section should wait at least two years before getting pregnant again for better safety.
