A member asked:

Hi doctor.am 16 weeks pregnant.i am having uterine scar because of past c- section.now planning for d&e.is it safe to continue with the uterine scar?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need more info: it depends on what kind of uterine scar you have. It is unclear whether you are asking about the D&E or continuing the pregnancy and why you are considering the D&E. There is an increased risk with both and how much it increases is determined by the type of scar. Hope this helps.
