Bicicatricial uterus

A scarred uterus is a uterus with one or more scars. A uterus with two scars refers to a uterus that has undergone two previous procedures resulting in scars.
In the case of a uterus with two scars, if there are no obstetric contraindications to vaginal delivery and the previous caesarean sections went well, vaginal delivery may be considered, with a low risk of complications. However, caesarean section is an option if that is your preference.

Obstetricians specialising in high-risk pregnancies at Erasme Hospital’s Obstetrics Clinic see patients for consultations in this context.
During this consultation, your medical file will be reviewed to ensure favourable conditions for considering an attempt at vaginal birth. If vaginal birth is not possible, a gentle caesarean section protocol (Gentle C-section) is offered in most cases.

If you have any concerns, unusual symptoms or abnormal pain around the scar, do not hesitate to call or go to the hospital’s Emergency Department or delivery room for an assessment of the situation.
