I just had my fourth C-Section, and it went very well. Doctors do like to tend to scare you to death by putting emphasis on the chance you could bleed to much, because of previous scar tissue which would have caused the placenta to fuse w/ the uterine lining, and worst case scenerio is hysterectomy. However, it depends on the person, number of surguries, amount of scar tissue, and if in fact the placenta fused w/ uterine lining. If you are a repeat C-section, a perinatalogist (high risk doc) should be monitoring you closely w/ frequent ultrasounds. If you have this problem, you will know ahead of time. Each time you have a C-Section, you take this risk. However, I just had my fourth w/ no problems and very little scar tissue. It was also the most painful recovery yet because of all the scar tissue. It gets more difficult each time, but I was advised that if I plan on having another baby I should wait at least one year for my incision to fully heal (inside and out). I hope this was helpful to someone. Good Luck Moms and Dads
