Currently, preparing for a second child is also a concern for many mothers, as with the opening of policies, adding another cute baby to the family is a very happy thing. But some mothers who want to have a second child may have concerns about having a cesarean section due to their advanced age and pregnancy. So, is having a cesarean section more dangerous for having a second child than having a first child?
Whether a expectant mother who is pregnant with a second child needs to undergo a cesarean section is more dangerous than having a first child depends on her specific situation. If the first child is born naturally and the second child requires a cesarean section due to age or other reasons, the risk is relatively not increased compared to the first child. Even for a second cesarean section, there is no need to be too nervous. Doctors will choose the timing of the cesarean section based on the specific situation of the expectant mother, which can better avoid unnecessary risks.
However, cesarean section belongs to surgical delivery, so there are also certain surgical risks, one of which is anesthesia risk. Anesthesia may cause local infection or hematoma, so the family will also sign a surgical anesthesia risk notification before the surgery.
During the process of cesarean section, internal organs, blood vessels, pelvic cavity, etc. may also be damaged, such as rectal and bladder injuries, which are often caused by cesarean section surgery. However, there is no need for expectant mothers of two children to worry too much. As long as it is a regular hospital, the risk of such surgeries is generally low. As expectant mothers of two children, they only need to follow the doctor's advice and pay attention to the precautions before delivery.
