How should I handle getting pregnant again after having a child through a cesarean section?

Patient's question:

On October 30, 2018, my last menstrual period. On June 4, 2017, I had a cesarean section and gave birth to a child. I am pregnant again. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

Warmly welcome you to consult. If you did not touch or avoid things and drugs during the pregnancy period, and you want this child, then you can leave it behind. Medically, it is generally recommended to wait three years before getting pregnant again after a cesarean section, based on the thorough recovery of the scarred uterus. This is to prevent the uterus from failing to recover completely, which could lead to uterine rupture during pregnancy, harming both the mother and the child. Now that you already have it, if you choose to have an abortion, it will still be a traumatic surgery for the uterus. Regardless of how advanced the surgery is, it is still traumatic. It is essential to enhance inspections during pregnancy and seek follow-up treatment promptly if there are any abnormalities.
