Hello,
With the question “Is it okay to have a cesarean section when pregnant for the second time? ”, the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Usually, the safest time to give birth for the second time is 24 months. If the time between the first and the second caesarean section is less than 18 months, the chances of the scar poking out will be 3 times higher than that of the caesarean section after this time.
You are pregnant for the second time and have pain from the old caesarean section. For now, you should go for a first-trimester screening so that your doctor can review your incision as well as give you more advice on how to manage your pregnancy during this pregnancy and give you a specific prescription to reduce your risk.
If you still have questions about the pain of the cesarean section, you can go to the hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
