If a woman does not choose to give birth through her vagina, the natural way, then she can have a operation so that the baby is removed through a cut just below the stomach, the resulting scar is known as a C-section scar. These scars do heal over time but the length of time varies.
Yes with "plastic surgery". I think the scar is beautiful "useful tip" if you plan on getting preggo again dont invest your money on surgery because will have to have another C-Section.
Not always, there are women who tries to have a vaginal birth after their first C-section but that is also up to the doctor. When having a c-section there will be a scar and that scar can burst during labor and with every c-section the scar gets thicker and more vulnerable. That is why they say you always have to stick to c-sections.
i belive it just creates more scar tissue in that area, i have had 4 sections and a tl, which created some pain from the scar tissue
If a C section scar becomes infected it is critical to contact the obstetrics and gynaecology doctor (OB-GYN) or surgeon that performed the procedure. It may be necessary to clean the wound with silver nitrate or something similar.
Yes, there are times when it is possible to have a Vaginal Birth After Cesarean (VBAC). Women who have a low transverse scar from the previous C-section are eligible for VBAC. It can also depend on why the first c-section happened. If the mothers pelvis is small it may not be possible for VBAC, if the first baby didnt fit the second may not either. If the scar on the uterus is an up and down scar or vertical, a VBAC is not recommended due to the potential for uterine rupture. As the uterus grows during the pregnancy the body of the uterus gets thinner and may rupture with uterine contractions. This is not typically an issue with the low transverse uterine scar as that scar is thru a thicker portion of the uterus that does not thin out as much as the uterus grows during pregnancy.
In October of 2006 I had my 5th c-section and it was the easiest one yet. The doctor told me that he was very surprised. I had very little scar tissue and everything was right where it was supposed to be. My husband and I area considering haveing one more baby but are nervous for the same reasons you are. I know I won't attempt a 7th c-section but one more....maybe.
When the incision healed you got some scar tissue there. And as scar tissue isn't as stretchy as the surrounding tissue it gets uncomfortable when the expanding belly stretches the scar.
have you ever seen a vagina after pregnancy? or a c section scar? don't do it man.
This is unknown, as there doesn't appear to be any information that can be found currently (June '13). However, recent pictures of Tulisa showing off her 'lucky you' tattoo on the bikini line do appear to show a C-section scar above it. Intriguing.
because of you
The answer is yes but most midwives/doctors will advise against it in case your c-section scar ruptures. If you want a VBAC (vaginal birth after caesarean) then your doctors will advise you of the possible dangers. I think the risk of rupturing a scar is minimal but most don't like to take the chance. I have known women who have gone on to have VBAC.
Yes.
