Bikini Cut Csection?

Question

How many bikini cut csection can one have. If the first is a bikini cut will the second be vertical cut? I think vertical cut is tough one. any idea?

Answer 1

Vertical cuts are fairly rare these days, they only do it in case of a real emergency... if the baby has to come out immediately, because it's quicker. Doctors won't do it for scheduled c-sections anymore because it's much riskier.

You can have several C-sections without complications and if they're all scheduled they will almost always cut along the 'same line'. Meaning they will simply open the previous incision.

I have a friend who had a baby a year, all born via C-section, for three years and she suffered no ill effects. I've heard that your chances of complications increase after 4 children, and each subsequent C-section, but then I've also heard of a woman who has 6 children, all born via C-section. I think it all depends on the woman, her body, health, etc.

Answer 2

the most common incinsion now is the horizontal bikini line cut. If its a true emergency and they have to get the baby out like 5 mins ago, then they may do a vertical but its rare.

Whatever cut you have they will usually open up the existing scar for subsequent c-sections.
However the vertical incision is a much riskier one and wouldn't be re-opened very often.
A horizontal cut can be re-opened several times before it becomes far too risky to do it again and they would usually advise a long break of at least 3 years between subsquent cuts (3-4 etc..) to lower the risks of uterine rupture, haemoraging etc.... I know someone who had 5 horizontal c-sections and many people have 2 or 3 but not without complications.

It really does depend upon the individual woman and the circumstances surrounding the previous c-sections and how big the actual cut was to start with.

I had an emergency c-section in Canada this March. My daughter's heart beat stopped while waiting for me to fully dilate so they rushed me to surgery. I disagree with some of the earlier comments. My daughter HAD to be out immediately, but they still did a bikini cut c-section. It ended up being a very long cut though because they had to remove my uterus from my body to get the baby and placenta out.

Later I asked about the incision, because my Mom had the vertical type and I thought that they still did them that way. I was advised that they never do vertical c-sections anymore, I thought they meant this was everywhere, but maybe they meant just at that hospital ...

Answer 6

If you're having an emergency c-section they will most likely cut your womb vertically and outer skin either vertically or on the bikini line. When planed c-sections are almost always on the bikini line for the womb and skin.

Answer 7

Mine still itches a year and a half later, but the red and bad odor definately is an infection. You need to get checked out ASAP. When I was in the hospital they always checked for redness around the incision.

Answer 8

The first c sections were from top to bottom. But this is now outdated as it ruins the muscles.

All c sections are now done from side to side and as low as possible, not just for astetic reasons. It heals much faster and muscle strength can be regained easily.
