SINGAPORE – When legal executive Amslekha Kathirvel became pregnant in 2021 – 13 years after having her first child – she could not wait for her daughter to have a little brother or sister.
But her joy turned into fear about a month into her pregnancy when she experienced excessive bleeding. Doctors at KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital (KKH) discovered that the gestational sac surrounding the embryo was very close to the scar from her caesarean section in 2008.
