expecting a 5th c-section, is it safe

is it really ok for a 5th c-section or should i go with a vbac? My doctor says my cervix looks healthy, but she doesn't recommend a 5th pregnancy. What are my options, can anyone help me.>>>Need some support from all the incredible mommies.

I've had 4 c-sections after I was told not to have anymore after 2.  My doctor said he has done up to 7 c-sections.  He did not discourage me from a fifth but did issue a few precautions.  Its not safe for a VBAC after so many c-sections, there is the risk of uterus rupturing. Hope this helps.....

I honestly think you should ask your doctor. I've had one c-section and am planning to try for a VBAC when I do get pregnant with number two. I don't know if it's safe after so many c-sections, but your doctor can tell you more.
