Is it more painful to deliver a second baby by cesarean section than the first?

We all know that childbirth is the most painful of all pains for women, even greater than the pain caused by an earthquake. That’s why many female friends now choose cesarean section when giving birth, mainly because it’s not as painful as natural birth. However, surgery on the abdomen is very painful. No matter it’s the first or second time, the pain caused to pregnant women by each cesarean section is the same. That’s why mothers are the greatest people.

Is Caesarean section more painful for second child than first child?

A cesarean section, or caesarean section, is a type of surgical procedure. The surgery involves opening the mother's abdomen and uterus to allow the baby to be delivered. It is an important operation in the field of obstetrics. With the advancement of anesthesiology, blood transfusion, infusion, water and electrolyte balance knowledge, as well as improvements in surgical methods, surgical suture materials and infection control measures, cesarean section has become an effective means to solve difficult labor and certain obstetric complications, and to save the lives of mothers and perinatal infants.

A second caesarean section will not necessarily be more painful, as both will involve anesthesia, so the pain may be similar. The pain of the second caesarean section is basically the same as the first one, because both are anesthetized, and the second operation will usually be cut along the original wound so that no new scars will be formed. Compared to the first caesarean section, the second wound may heal slower than the original one, but that’s okay. You just need to pay attention to rest and recuperate for a while. In addition, it does not matter if the first baby has a cesarean section, the second baby must also have a cesarean section. You need to make a comprehensive judgment based on your actual physical condition and the condition of the fetus. Relax and the doctor will give you advice when the time comes. Don't be afraid.

You can have a second child at least 2 years after a caesarean section. The mode of delivery of the second child should be determined based on the results of B-ultrasound and other examinations. If the condition of the second pregnancy meets the conditions for natural delivery, and the interval between the two pregnancies is more than two years, and the uterine scar has healed well after the last caesarean section, natural delivery can be considered. A second caesarean section will not necessarily be more painful, as anesthesia will be given, so the pain may be about the same, but the second wound may heal more slowly than the original.

What is a cesarean section in a hospital?

Caesarean section can only be an emergency measure, which is effective in solving difficult labor problems and preserving the lives of the fetus and the mother. Many people think that cesarean section does not require dilation of the birth canal and will be very easy, so they hope to choose this method of delivery. In fact, cesarean section is a surgery with corresponding risks, which will bring disadvantages to the health of the mother after delivery. Therefore, the choice of cesarean section must be cautious and not casually adopted by both doctors and the mother and her family.

In fact, as for this question, every woman's physical condition is different. How long it will take to regenerate after a cesarean section depends on the recovery of the woman's uterus after the cesarean section. If the woman's uterus recovers well after the cesarean section or the woman herself has strong recovery ability, regeneration after the cesarean section does not have to wait until two years, but at least one year later. In addition, if you want to get pregnant again after a caesarean section, you must go to the hospital to check the recovery of your uterus.

During caesarean section deliveries, many hospitals will provide some maternal and child supplies, so it is best to inquire with the delivery hospital in advance to avoid over-preparation. Don’t worry about not having enough prepared things. In fact, even if you are missing one or two things, it’s no problem to ask your family to prepare them temporarily.
