A cesarean section is a major surgical procedure performed on the lower abdomen and uterus to deliver a baby. The healing process of the cesarean scar depends on the woman's health, and typically the scar will fully heal within 3 months after childbirth. However, this scar is closely related to future pregnancies and deliveries. Especially when undergoing a third cesarean, the risks increase.

Despite the general recommendation of limiting cesarean sections to two for maternal and infant health, some women who desire a fourth cesarean section experience significant anxiety.
