How many children can be born by caesarean section

Modern women are still very afraid of giving birth, but with the development of modern medical technology, caesarean section has become gradually popular. Compared with natural birth, caesarean section does not cause much pain to women during delivery, but after the anesthesia wears off, the body will be more painful and a scar will be left near the lower abdomen. But for most people, many people don’t know how many times a woman can have a caesarean section. So how many times can she give birth through a caesarean section?

How many times can a woman have a caesarean section?

Try not to have more than 3 caesarean sections. Experts say there is no exact number for how many cesarean sections a woman can have in her lifetime. In principle, a woman should not undergo more than three caesarean sections, and the more caesarean sections she has, the greater the risk. There was a report abroad that a woman had undergone 7 caesarean sections. But try not to perform more than 3 cesarean sections. Generally, after the second or third cesarean section, the mother will be recommended to undergo sterilization. Because of three or more cesarean sections, the scar on the uterus may cause spontaneous uterine rupture in the late pregnancy, and the risk of further delivery will be very high.

Experts said that clinically confirmed, the average amount of blood loss of women undergoing cesarean section is more than 300 ml, more than double the blood loss of vaginal delivery; cesarean section can cause wound infection, intraoperative amniotic fluid embolism, surgical accidents, uterine injury and resection, etc., and the chance of postpartum hemorrhage and accidental death is higher than normal vaginal delivery; the mother's recovery after surgery is slow, and complications such as venous stasis, chronic abdominal pain caused by adhesions of pelvic and abdominal tissues, pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis, etc. are prone to occur. Caesarean section can only be chosen again when the complications left over from the previous caesarean section have disappeared.

Interval time between second birth after second caesarean section

In addition, the most appropriate time interval between two caesarean sections should be about 2 years. "If you get pregnant again within a short period of time, the scar will not heal firmly and there is a high risk of uterine rupture, endangering the safety of mother and child. If the time interval is too long, the uterine scar will have become fibrotic, more brittle, and easily torn." Experts say that many women want to have a "natural birth" when they get pregnant again because they cannot bear the pain after a cesarean section, but this requires comprehensive consideration based on prenatal examinations, such as the size and position of the fetal head, and the situation of the labor process after delivery.

3. Mothers who have had caesarean sections can also give birth naturally

The current situation is that more and more women choose caesarean section because it is quick, the mother does not suffer labor pain, and the newborn is not squeezed through the vagina and will not encounter the risk of dystocia. In addition, some people choose an auspicious day to give birth, and believe that elective delivery by caesarean section is a good option.

Generally speaking, it is necessary to wait three years before getting pregnant again after a caesarean section, because the incision on the uterine wall does not heal well in the short term. If you get pregnant too early, the fresh scar can easily rupture in the late pregnancy or during delivery, causing massive abdominal bleeding and even life-threatening. Experts point out that if conditions permit, vaginal delivery can be used for the next pregnancy after a cesarean section, but there are strict indications, requiring a three-year interval after the cesarean section before another pregnancy. And excluding causes such as pelvic stenosis, malposition of the fetus, fetal hypoxia, intrauterine distress, and macrosomia, as long as good management is done before, during, and after pregnancy, mothers who have undergone cesarean section can also give birth to their own children. This method reduces trauma and is very beneficial to the health of both the mother and the baby.
