c-sections

[shawne]

how many c-sections can a woman have that is considered safe. i have had three already and i would like to have more children.having three sections already is there a risk in having another?

My friends mom had four C Sections.  All they did with here was cut a mm or two above the scare before.

So the best thing to do would be to talk to your doc and see what he says...

My friend has and 3 and was advised not to have anymore children.

My Dr. told me that you can have as many c-sections as you want. But that goes to say that there weren't any complications from the ones prior to.  My husband asked that question while I was having my c-section because he wants lots of kids.  So you should probably see your Dr.  If everything has gone fine in the past, I'm sure you'll get the OK!
Good Luck!

my doctor said my 3rd will be my last, but I had complications in previous sections so I think that is why. i don't think there is a magic number.

I had one C-section two years ago and my Mom had two, we were both advised that three is the most that you could do.  But if your Dr. gives a go signal for a fourth, then go as long as the Dr. is going to be watching you very careful.

A friend of mine had 5.  She is hoping for baby number 6.  Her dotor told her this should be the last one.  It all depends on the doctor.  Also, some doctors will do VBAC's.  It is getting rare these days for doctors to do this, but there are some out there that will.  VBAC - Vaginal Birth After "C".

I hope that you get your desired baby!
