Do you know how many babies you can have after a caesarean section?

Caesarean section has become popular in hospitals because the operation is very mature and can greatly reduce the pain of the mother. However, caesarean section is the result of a surgical operation and will cause damage to the mother's body, so there are many taboos. So how many babies can a mother give birth to after a caesarean section?

1. 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.

2. Experts said that clinically confirmed, the average blood loss of mothers 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. The chance of postpartum hemorrhage and accidental death is higher than normal vaginal delivery; the mother's recovery is slow after surgery, 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.

3. 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.
