Precautions for secondary cesarean section

With the improvement of medical technology, many women now choose cesarean section for a smooth delivery, which can ensure the safety of the baby and the mother to the greatest extent. For women who have their first cesarean section, everything will go smoothly. However, if you still choose a cesarean section for your second child, there are some things you need to pay attention to. Next, let’s learn about the precautions for the second cesarean section.

1. If you experience abdominal pain, seek medical attention as soon as possible: A scarred uterus may rupture spontaneously in the late stages of pregnancy. When the uterus ruptures, abdominal pain of varying severity will occur. Sometimes the abdominal pain is relatively mild, but the uterus has already ruptured, so you must be vigilant.

2. Avoid abdominal pressure in the late pregnancy: To prevent the scar from cracking, you should also pay attention to protecting it and not squeezing it. In the late stages of pregnancy, you should avoid crowded places, do housework in moderation, sleep on your back or side, and have an adequate sexual life without putting pressure on your abdomen.

3. Pay attention to fetal movement: Fetal movement is the movement of the fetus in the uterus. The speed of fetal movement is an early indicator of whether the fetus is safe in the uterus. Normally during pregnancy there will be three to five fetal movements per hour or at least ten times a day. After a caesarean section, a scarred uterus with a slight rupture or placental abnormality can cause fetal death.

Through the above relevant text introduction, I believe everyone has a general understanding of the precautions for a second cesarean section. Although it is the second child and the mother has some experience compared to the first child, she still needs to be more careful and go to the hospital for prenatal check-ups on time to ensure the health of both mother and child. It is recommended that the diet for the second child should be based on the pregnant woman’s own constitution and the advice of the attending physician.
