C-section scars and future pregnancies
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how multiple C-sections change the scar on your uterus. It aims to understand the link between scar 'niches' and the number of C-sections you've had.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had at least one previous C-section.

- You do not have any known uterine shape problems (like a bicornuate uterus or uterine septum).
- You have not had any other surgery on your uterus besides a C-section.
