Nowadays, there is no penalty for having a second child. Many couples start planning to have a second child within two years after giving birth to their first child. However, if the first child is born naturally, it would be great if the second child could also be born naturally. Unfortunately, the first child is born by caesarean section, and it is unclear whether the second child can be born naturally. So, is it difficult to have a first child after a cesarean section and a second child after a natural delivery?
It is difficult to have a first child cesarean section and a second child vaginal delivery, but there are also cases where a second child can be delivered naturally. Whether a second child can be delivered naturally depends on whether the following conditions are met:
1. Age under 35 years old: If a woman is over 35 years old when giving birth to a second child, she is considered a high-risk mother. At this time, the elasticity of the female vagina decreases, making it difficult for the fetus to be delivered through vaginal delivery. In addition, the first child was born by caesarean section, so it is even more difficult for the second child to have a vaginal delivery. Therefore, the best age for a vaginal delivery is under 35 years old.
2. The recovery of uterine scars is good: Although the wound left after the cesarean section of the first fetus has healed over time, if the uterine contraction force is not good, it is easy to cause uterine rupture and lead to heavy bleeding during contraction. Therefore, only when the uterus recovers well can vaginal delivery be considered.
3. Location of cesarean section wound: If the first pregnancy is a cesarean section with a longitudinal incision of the wound, it is not recommended to give birth naturally for the second pregnancy. If the first pregnancy is a transverse incision in the lower segment of the uterus, vaginal delivery can be considered.
4. Correct fetal position: If the fetal position is not correct, it is not recommended to give birth naturally. However, if the fetal position is correct, vaginal delivery can be considered. If the fetus is relatively large and fat, then vaginal delivery is not recommended, and cesarean section is recommended.
