Will Caesarean Birth Be Repeated?

Mothers who give birth by caesarean may wonder whether they can give birth normally or whether they should return to caesarean section in the next pregnancy. At present, the demand for cesarean delivery continues to increase and is a trend among modern women, although there is no reason for a medical emergency to undergo a cesarean section.

Caesarean section on request can be motivated by the interests of the mother herself, because she believes that a cesarean section is safer for the baby or to reduce the risk of pelvic injury.


Mother, cesarean delivery will be more likely to occur at the birth of the next child. A labor expert said that a mother who had a cesarean section would most likely have a cesarean next time. In fact, a caesarean section leaves large scratches in the uterus, so it is feared that a normal delivery during the next delivery can cause a tear (rupture) of the uterine wall. About one in 200 mothers who undergo a caesarean section try to give birth normally.

Therefore, if you intend to give birth after a cesarean section, it is important to remind the midwife or nurse to follow the development of the normal delivery phase and its duration. to avoid this problem.

Risk of pregnancy after Caesar

Cesarean delivery can slightly increase the risk of ectopic pregnancy and stillbirth in subsequent pregnancies, as one study suggests.

Birth Death

Babies who die in utero or stillbirth are fetal deaths at more than 24 weeks' gestation. Another source of stillbirth is the death of the baby in the womb during 24 weeks of pregnancy. The possibility that the baby will die in the womb during the next pregnancy increases the risk for the mother who has had a cesarean. However, this risk is still very low. The frequency of stillbirths in the second pregnancy occurs in 4 out of every 1,000 mothers who undergo cesarean section. This figure is higher than the possibility that 2 out of 1,000 mothers have given birth normally. But unfortunately, the reason cannot be known.

Ectopic pregnancy

One study also found that women who gave birth by first cesarean section were 9% more likely to have an ectopic pregnancy than mothers who gave birth at the first birth. Ectopic pregnancy is the location of an egg that has been fertilized by sperm and actually grows in the ovaries or other places outside the uterus. This abnormal condition usually causes fetal death. This condition is considered a medical emergency, because without proper care, it can endanger the health of the mother. However, the same study also showed that cesarean delivery did not increase the risk of spontaneous miscarriage before the 20th week of pregnancy.

Mother, although the possibility is greater, but a cesarean section does not always repeat. The possibility of giving birth normally after a cesarean birth is always there. But given the risks associated with it, it is safer to consider very carefully the decision to resume normal delivery after a caesarean. Carefully consult with your obstetrician about the condition of the mother and fetus regarding the need for cesarean delivery.
