Is a new pregnancy possible four months after a cesarean section?

By Marta Barranquero Gómez B.Sc., M.Sc. (embryologist).
Last Update: 02/02/2023

When the birth is not natural, but is produced by cesarean section, specialists recommend waiting a period of time for the mother to recover completely before attempting a new pregnancy. This period of time is usually about 6 months, since getting pregnant again sooner after a cesarean section may entail a higher risk of complications.

However, this does not mean that pregnancy is not possible 4 months after cesarean section. There are women who have become pregnant during quarantine and have not had any gestational complications.
