4th c-section

Hello I am 22 married young I have had three c-section sence 2004 and my youngest is not even a year old yet and I found out we are having another baby. I am due in Jan and I am sure it will be another c-section. i always wanted to have a v-birth but it never happen. But now knowing I am due to have my 4th c-section it warries me. Is it safe?

I am due to have my 3rd in 3 years in Nov. My Dr. said that when he goes in there he would let me know (or would have let me know) if he did not recommend another pregnancy by the looks of the uterus. Congrats, I think you will be fine!

ive read you can have several, but maybe you should look into having a vbac.  i didnt with my second and had a second c, i regret it so  much.  if i get pg again i WILL have a vbac, maybe even a home birth!  i found a midwife rather than a dr (THEY WILL ALWAYS PREFER TO DO A C AFTER A C!!).  if you truely want to find out info, get in touch with your local ICAN group.  after researching my butt off the info i found on vbacs compared to c's is unbelievable!!  

again not all will qualify, i dont even know if i do yet either lol.  good luck!

My doc said he would do a vbac for me, but I am undecided so far.  He said he has a patient on her sixth kid who has been alternating between c and vbac.  So, not all docs push for a c after a c.  Well, at least in my area.  Are you officially trying yet?

your right they dont all push for it. its one of those things that is more of a legal issue i suppose than the actual safety factor.   i am trying, im on my 3rd month.  it would be the perfect month, i would have the summer to get over the beginning exhaustion and morning (all day!!) sickness if i had it again.

Hello, my name is MAricruz, My husband & myself are planning a 5th baby. What i'm tryin to say is that We want another baby. We are still young, but my dr. strongly recommends not to go with it. I feel discouraged and sad. Should I go for it (she says my cervix looks healthy), so why not go for it, right. This would be my 5th c-section, if so. Should I seek for a vbac? Please respond, I need to feel better and make a choice.
