You can, but it is much less likely after a tubal. If it was effective, it would prevent eggs from reaching a place where they could be fertilized. If you think you might be pregnant, see somebody for early care, as you are at slightly higher risk because of the recent surgery. Good luck.

What do you do if After a C-section your milk does not come in?

I have had this problem and my lactation consultant told me that I should just keep offering the breast to my baby. The stimulation of the baby suckling will trigger your milk flow. It may take a couple days, but in that time, you will have colostrum for the baby to drink. The colostrum is extremely healthy for baby, as it contains extra antibodies. You may need to breastfeed more often with the colostrum though because it is thinner than milk.

Why do so many celebrities have cesarean sections?

I've always assumed that it's more out of convenience than necessity since you can schedule it in advance and can more easily work around a 'busy' celebrity schedule. Also, when it comes to pain, the idea of a painless birth probably seems appealing to someone who is used to leading a pampered lifestyle and so a Cesarean would be an obvious choice if your goal is too avoid pain. There's also the issue of avoidance of passing sexually transmitted diseases onto your baby--with so much promiscuity among celebrities, it is not unreasonable to assume that there is a prevalence of STD infections among pregnant celebrity women (particularly HPV and Herpes) and a Cesarean-section is really the surest way to avoid passing such an STD onto your baby. Opposing Viewpoint. I wondered if this was in fact true myself. However http://www.herpes.com/pregnancy.shtml makes it seem as if C-sections are hardly recommended to people who have Herpes unless the have an active outbreak and got Herpes in the last Trimester. Still ignorance of this information by just about everybody including myself could also lead one to believe that the are getting C-sections because they believe they are protecting their babies from infection. Some doctors have covered an infected external spot with gauze, while some midwives have covered them with superglue.

What does a c-section stand for?

A C-Section is performed on pregnant women. Normally, they get C-Sections if they are having problems giving birth, or there will be serious complications of a normal birth.

The woman goes to surgery where they put her to sleep and cut open her stomach and uterus. They remove the baby and sew her back up.

There is always risk for infection, and there is normally a scar left afterwards.

C-Section is the shortened form of "caesarean section".
