Abstract
Background: The rate of caesarean section is increasing in the world. With which there is an increase in complications of pregnancy. There is risk of the uterine rupture if there is trial of the normal delivery. The aim of study is to determine and compare previous caesarean scar thickness in second and third trimester of pregnancy. Objective(s): To determine previous caesarean scar thickness in second and third trimester of current pregnancy. Methodology: An analytical study was conducted in the Saima medical center Shalimar link road Lahore. Sixty-two patients were enrolled in this study with convenient sampling. Toshiba nemio 10 ultrasound machines with convex transducer frequency range 3.5 MHz.patients with placenta previa and twin gestation were excluded from this study. Transabdominal technique was used in this study. Data were collected through data collection sheets and was tabulated and analyzed using statistical package for the social sciences (SPSS)version 24(SPSS, IBM, Armonk, NY, United States of America) Microsoft excel. Results: A total of 62 patient were examined in the study. The age incidence of the cases in this study varied between 22 years to 36 years. The mean age of the patients in the study was 27. 2903.The mean gestational age was 27.47. The mean scar thickness at 24-28 weeks was3.3925. parity varied patient to patient.16(25.8%) females had para 2.23(37.1%) had para 3 and 16(25.8%) had para 4.3(4.8%) females had para 5 and 4(6.5%) had para 6. In the current study out of sixty-two patients 13(21%) were gravida1,24(38.7%) was gravid 2,17(27.4) were gravid 3,4(6.5%) gravid 4 and (6.5) gravid. A statistical significance difference found in mean scar thickness at 24-28 weeks of gestation and at 32-36 weeks of gestation-value = 0.000 < α = 0.05. Conclusion(s): ultrasound is the useful modality for determining scar thickness. The scar thickness of previous c section in the current pregnancy.

Highlights
Caesarean section is one of the most incessant careful tasks performed in the UK and worldwide.[1]
The current study evaluated 62 patients between the age group of 22 to 36 years of age
In current study 62 patients geataional age is between 24 to 26 weeks with mean of 27.47 which we correlate with the previous study of Jastrow et al Cheung etal Micheal et which perform this study in 3 trimester between 27to 40 weeks of gestation 27.91±2.126 weeks.[53]
Summary
Caesarean section is one of the most incessant careful tasks performed in the UK and worldwide.[1]. Components associated with uterine scar rupture during normal delivery are number of LSCS, inter delivery interval, previous normal delivery, gestational age and birth weight. RESULTS: According to the table below, total 62 patient were included in this study, the minimum age is 22 and the maximum age is 36.
