Most female friends want natural childbirth after pregnancy because it does not leave scars on the abdomen and is beneficial for the health of the baby. Nowadays, many women who want to have a second child must pay attention to the thickness of scars if they want to have a cesarean section for their first child and a vaginal delivery for their second child. So, how much scar thickness can result in vaginal delivery?
If you want to have a vaginal delivery for your second child, the thickness of the uterine scar should reach 0.5cm during delivery. If the thickness of the uterine scar does not meet this standard, doctors do not support vaginal delivery. However, when the thickness reaches 0.5cm, it is only a trial delivery. If there is an accident, the doctor will perform a cesarean section at any time.
After a cesarean section, women will leave scars on their uterus, and the recovery of the scars will directly affect whether they can have a vaginal delivery in the future. If the thickness of the uterine scar is insufficient, vaginal delivery cannot be performed because it can easily cause uterine rupture, which can lead to massive bleeding and is very dangerous.
Women who usually want to have a vaginal delivery for their second child need to undergo a uterine scar thickness examination before giving birth. Everyone should pay attention to whether the final delivery can be natural depends on whether the pregnant woman meets other conditions, such as fetal position, labor force, and pelvic width. Pregnant women can only give birth naturally if they fully meet the corresponding conditions. Otherwise, the doctor will recommend a cesarean section to avoid difficult delivery.
