Hello,
Not every pregnancy needs to end up with intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) because most of the causes of IUGR are non-recurrent. You should get regular follow up, maintain proper nutrition, take adequate rest, and exclude infections once you conceive. You can take some counseling if you are planning to conceive again on any needed precautionary measures. You can also take prenatal vitamins. Please see that you take a break of two years after the previous delivery as it was a cesarean section.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shanti Vennam
