C-Section number 4

I think I may be pregnant for the 7th time.  I'm worried because I already had 3 c-sections and the last one I had problems with the surgery and I don't know if it safe for me to have another!  This pregnancy was not plan I was on birth control pills.  I took a test and it said that I wasn't but my symptoms and signs are telling me that I am!  I don't know what to do?  I can't do another baby... My body won't allow me to!
Is the 4th c-section safe?

i was at my doctors yesterday and she said if i am i  would be monitored the whole way through,and will be told what to expect an what the dangers could be depending on my scar/scars

and if needs be i can have counselling

so maybe you cold ask about this also it could prepare you for what you are going to go through

hi the best thing to do its not stressed atm until you find out for sure you are pregnant

i have 4 children all an age gap of 18 months-2 years between each child the oldest is 6,4 and a half,2 and a half year old an the youngest will be 1 this comming monday and all of them were c sections.

i was told when i found out i was pregnant with my youngest i would have to be monitored more which i was and when i went into labour they tried to leave me as long as possible before doing the c section till the morning (i went in at 12am an they couldnt leave me any longer as it could have been dangerous so i went for my c setion in the early hrs of the morn )for more staff incase anything went wrong they did say because of the other scar tissue i had it could be more painful afterwards and also i could have have problems with either my bladder or bowel  or have more bleeding than normal, i suppose it just depends on your circumstances with your scars and what the problems you have with your previous surgeries were

i ended up ok in the end it was only more painful for me as i was also sterilized straight afterwards an i do have ibs now but it is under control with medication and doesnt really affect me

i hope everything goes well for you if your are pregnant gd luck

I will be having my 4th c-section in Sept. I entirely depends on each person. Only your Dr. can tell you.  But, if your test is neg, why do you think you are still preggo?
