Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I had a C-section eight years ago and a C-section seven months back. I am interested in having another child and wanted to plan on coming off of birth control till mid of this year. My doctor said that, in general, they prefer women to have two years between deliveries. My question is, when will my uterus get completely healed and ready to handle the pressure of another pregnancy? If I get pregnant sooner than later, I would be a few months less than the two-year mark.
Thank you.
Hi,
Welcome to iclinq.com.
Generally, it needs 18 months for your uterus to heal from the previous cesarean cut. Still, many factors like intrinsic tissue quality, general nutritional status of the lady, the body's healing power, diabetes, postoperative recovery, sepsis, and the presence of a protein diet regulate healing. As you had another C-section, did the doctor mention the difficulty of the cesarean section then? Did your first and second cesarean go well, or was it associated with greater care than general? As healing depends on many things, the uterus can never return to its original strength due to two scars on the body, the two-year safety mark. So, if you wish to take the pregnancy sooner, you should be complaint in visiting a doctor in a tertiary care center with an emergency room and blood bank facility.
Thank you.
