After the birth of the first child by caesarean section, women have to rest for several years before they are ready to have children. Some people get pregnant just after giving birth, because they don't take good contraceptive measures. This situation is actually very harmful to women's health and is not desirable. Then let's see, how long is the best interval between two children after caesarean section?
Chinese and western obstetricians have slightly different views on this issue. Many foreign studies show that after caesarean section, you should wait at least half a year before trying to get pregnant. For example, British obstetricians believe that women should not have caesarean section more than three times, and they have to wait for one year to get pregnant after a caesarean section. Compared with western doctors, many doctors in China are more cautious about this issue. They suggest that it is safer to get pregnant at least two years after caesarean section. This is because the fetal development leads to the continuous enlargement of the uterus and the thinning of the uterine wall, especially the connective tissue at the incision of caesarean section, which is inelastic and premature, and the fresh scar is easy to rupture at the end of pregnancy or delivery, resulting in massive abdominal bleeding and even life-threatening.
Generally speaking, if the first child is delivered by caesarean section, it is better for pregnant women to have children every two or three years, because it is good for their health and good for both mother and fetus. If a pregnant woman gives birth again after caesarean section, it is recommended to get pregnant again after two years. Because the incision on the posterior wall of uterus by caesarean section can't heal well in a short time. Premature pregnancy, due to the development of the fetus, makes the uterus bigger and thinner, so it lacks elasticity. Moreover, if pregnant women plan to have a caesarean section, it is best to be hospitalized in advance, because the closer the scar uterus is to delivery, the greater the risk of rupture. In order to prevent uterine rupture or fetal death, we should be hospitalized for delivery two weeks in advance so as to deal with the problem in time.
If a woman's first child is born naturally, the harm to her body is relatively small, and her body will recover well in about a year. However, if the first child is delivered by caesarean section, the woman's body will be scarred, the uterus will take a long time to heal, and the body will take at least three years to fully recover. Therefore, the interval between twins by caesarean section should be at least 3 years. If the second child is born after caesarean section in less than 3 years, it may lead to abnormal fetal development or other unhealthy factors.
It is very dangerous for a mother to get pregnant again within three years after caesarean section, because the probability of uterine rupture during pregnancy is very high. Only when the wound is completely healed and has the same function as the normal tissue can the fetus be conceived again, which can ensure that the uterus will not rupture during pregnancy. This time will take about three years.
