If the first child was delivered by caesarean section, can the second child be delivered naturally?

Can a second child be born naturally after a caesarean section for the first child? This is a question that confuses many mothers. Is it possible or not? Our heads are filled with questions and we need to uncover the mystery behind it. So, let's discuss this topic. Regarding the question of whether a second child can be born naturally after a caesarean section for the first child, I have summarized the following points. Friends who want to know more about this, please take a look.

If the reason for the caesarean section for the first baby was due to malposition of the fetus, fetal distress or personal factors, then the success rate of natural birth for the second baby can reach 80-90%. However, if the reason for the caesarean section for the first baby was that the pelvis was too small and the labor was delayed, the failure rate of natural birth for the second baby would be as high as 60-70%. Sometimes, a caesarean section is performed on the second baby because of the fear of uterine rupture. Generally, after a caesarean section, scars are left on the abdomen and uterus, which may cause weak uterine contractions and lead to dystocia. It is recommended that you still choose a caesarean section. Generally, a caesarean section is another operation on the original wound.

If you want to get pregnant again after a caesarean section, you need to wait two years. Because the incision on the uterine wall after cesarean section does not heal well in the short term. In premature pregnancy, the uterus continues to grow due to the development of the fetus, and the uterine wall becomes thinner, especially the surgical incision is made of connective tissue and lacks elasticity. Fresh scars can easily rupture in late pregnancy or during delivery, causing massive abdominal bleeding and even life-threatening. Therefore, it is safer to get pregnant again two years after the operation.

Whether the next birth is a natural birth depends on personal circumstances, and also depends on the reasons and specific circumstances of your caesarean section at the time.

The above is an introduction to the question of whether a second child can be born naturally after a caesarean section for the first child. I believe that everyone will have a certain understanding after reading it, so don’t be too careless in daily life. You should still consult more to avoid unnecessary trouble and danger in the future. This is for your own and your child’s health.
