- The scar in the uterus from the last caesarean section may rupture. This is rare but may be serious for you and your child and will necessitate an emergency caesarean section.
- If it becomes relevant to induce labour, it may be done by pricking a hole in the amniotic sac, but not with cervical ripening pills.
- If it becomes relevant to use a labour-inducing drip, it will be administrated with even greater caution than for first-time deliveries due to the scar in the uterus.
- You may end up having an emergency cesarean section, where the risk of infection and other complications is higher than for a planned caesarean section.
| - Wounds in the uterus and stomach which must heal.
- Yet another scar on the uterus may lead to a caesarean section for future pregnancies so that you will not be able to deliver vaginally.
- The child may have difficulty breathing and may need treatment in the paediatric ward. This means that you will be separated from your child immediately after delivery.
- It takes the body about 4-6 weeks to recover from a caesarean section, and you may only lift the equivalent of the weight of your child (including car seat) for 4-6 weeks.
