Hello,
To the question “Is 9 months pregnant after caesarean section affecting the incision? ”, the doctor would like to answer as follows:
According to recommendations, after cesarean section, pregnancy should be returned after 2-3 years to ensure safety for mother and baby. It's a time for mom to recover mentally as well as physically. The mother is healthy for the next pregnancy.
You got pregnant again after 9 months of caesarean section, which can affect your health and the unborn baby. The incision may stretch, stretch marks cause pain, the degree of which increases gradually in the last weeks of pregnancy. There are cases of excessive incision pain leading to cesarean section when the pregnancy is not yet full term. Therefore, you need to be examined by a doctor and have a plan for close follow-up.
If you still have questions about whether pregnancy after 9 months of caesarean section will affect the incision, you can go to a 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!
