What are the second Cesarean Risks? <\/strong><\/p>After a second c section if it leads to a high incision you lose your ability to deliver normally.<\/p>
Major 15 cesarean risks for mother<\/h2>1) Painful post cesarean phase<\/h3> The pain during labor may be the reason you are an option a cesarean. But the post-delivery period after a C-section is more painful. You will have difficulty walking and urinating. Infections can make things even worse. As the numbness will go from your body acute pain will start. This will prevent you from taking care of your baby.<\/p>
2) Injury to the bladder and adjacent organs<\/h3> The surrounding organs can damage due to surgery. A bladder injury is most common after a cesarean. It will lead to urinary incontinence. But doctors can correct the problem while the cesarean takes place. With subsequent surgeries, organ adhesions will make it more common to damage them. This will make the cesarean duration longer.<\/p>
3) Long recovery and additional care<\/h3> Cesarean aftercare has many precautions to follow. The stitches can have inflammation and will need treatment. Cesarean recovery period makes a longer hospital stay compulsory.<\/p>
4) Infections<\/h3> You can get different types of infections after C-section. The incision can get an infection and spread to other regions. If the uterine wall gets infected then it can spread to the urinary tract.<\/p>
5) Endometriosis from C-section<\/h3> After surgery, the adhesions and scars can cause the growth of tissue into other organs. Endometriosis affects fertility extensively and can even lead to amenorrhea. As the tissue moves into other organs it hampers their functioning too.<\/p>
6) Blood loss<\/h3> The bleeding during C-section can give rise to the need for blood transfusion. A study showed loss of blood greater than 1 L in about 9.2% cesarean. Out of every 6 cesarean cases, 1 needs a blood transfusion. Whether the C-section is elective or emergency the blood loss remains high.<\/p>
7) Placenta Previa and Placenta accreta<\/h3> The condition Placenta Previa refers to extremely low lying placenta that can cover the cervix. It can be marginal, partial or complete covering of the cervix. The risk of Placenta Previa rises to 2 or 3 out of every 100 women who have their 4th, 5th or 6th C-section.<\/p>
When a woman has Placenta Previa she has a high risk of developing Placenta accreta. Placenta accreta is the condition when the placental tissues attach to the wall deeply. The occurrence of adhesion from previous C-section also increases the chance of having placenta accreta.<\/p>
8) Hysterectomy & additional operations<\/h3> During certain complications, the entire uterus will be removed. Many women need additional surgeries for skin lesions or removal of tissue masses. This can happen weeks after C-section. Long term cesarean risks include such additional surgeries.<\/p>
9) Adhesions<\/h3> If a woman has undergone cesarean multiple times then the scar tissues can attach nearby organs. This leads to blockage and painful symptoms. Placenta accreta is also due to adhesion near the previous C-section scar. The adhesions can be in the pelvic region that later increase risk of bladder injury during repeat cesarean.<\/p>
10) Impact on fertility<\/h3> With subsequent C-section, the risks increase. The uterus can get fibroid tissue and normal delivery becomes more difficult. Scars and adhesions from the previous cesarean make it difficult to cut through. The time taken during cesarean increases with the number of times you get it.<\/p>
11) Maternal morbidity and mortality<\/h3> Maternal death during a cesarean is more likely. Morbidity due to C-section is so severe that mothers die a few days after it. Proper care and support is a must. Nutritional demand for supplements also increases after a complicated cesarean.<\/p>
12) Thromboembolism<\/h3> It is common to have blood clots post-C-section. They can move around through the bloodstream and reach legs and back. The pain due to thromboembolism is severe and they can be fatal. When these clots move to the pulmonary region they lead to pulmonary embolism. It is one of the most common causes of death after c section.<\/p>
13) Anesthesia after effects<\/h3> Side effects of a high dose of anesthetics give headaches. After it leaves your body you can have severe headaches and nausea. The sudden feeling of pain after the withdrawal of epidural effects is tormenting.<\/p>
14) Postpartum depression<\/h3> One of the risk factors of postpartum depression is undergoing trauma during delivery. If you have an emergency cesarean the risk of postpartum depression is higher.<\/p>
15) Breastfeeding troubles and missing bonding<\/h3> Cesarean delivery does not allow enough secretion of oxytocin. The hormone is essential for milk ejection reflex. It is also responsible for developing the bond between you and your baby.<\/p>
Cesarean section risks to the baby<\/h2> Cesarean baby vs normal baby is at certain risks. The newborn needs to stay in NICU for longer than a normal delivery baby. They may need extra care and assisted breathing support.<\/p>
1) Respiratory problems<\/h3> When the baby passes through the birth canal the amniotic fluid comes out of the lungs. During a cesarean, the baby does not pass through the birth canal. Later in life, cesarean babies may have asthma and other respiratory problems.<\/p>
2) Premature birth<\/h3> Miscalculation of the due date may lead to premature birth. Survival rates of premature babies are lower. This poses a risk to the life of the newborn.<\/p>
3) Can get a small accidental cut by the doctor<\/h3> Very rarely the baby may be nicked during the surgery. However, the healing of such cuts is very quick.<\/p>
4) Risk of obesity<\/h3> Long term effects of C-section on baby state show a higher risk of being obese.<\/p>
5) Poor nutrition due to low milk supply<\/h3> Breastfeeding problems can lead to malnutrition. The baby does not get the good bacteria from the birth canal. This leads to a compromised immune system.<\/p>
Even if your birth plan has a normal delivery, you can have an emergency situation.
