C-section, only 3 kids?

Question

So ever since I was little I wanted to have a big family. At least 5 kids (I know I'm crazy) but because my mother only had 3(including me) and I wish I could've had more siblings. Anyways, I got married in 2011 and conceived March 2013. My son was due December 25 2013 but because I got preeclampsia they had to induce me at 35 weeks. In the hospital my body just wouldn't budge and my sons heart beat would drop with every contraction so my doctor said C-section was the way to go. So C-Section it was, my son weighed 4.7oz but other wise he was as healthy as a full term baby. Now I'm freaking out because people keep telling me that since I delivered through C Section the rest of my deliveries will be the same and that I will only be able to have 3 kids. Is this true? It makes me soooooo sad! Both my husband and I planned to have 5 kids and y'all ladies know it's not that easy talking your SO into having 5 kids at the very least lol help?

Answer

Doesn't mean you will have to have another c section unless something goes wrong of course , but you have every right to refuse a section unless medically needed , and also you can have more than 3 sections , there's a woman what was on 16 kids and counting that had about 9 sections , I'm due my 4th baby via section in august also so don't worry too much x

Answer

Go to an ob that will give you the option of a vbac.

Most of the time preeclampsia is only in the first pregnancy, so hopefully you will be fine.

Discuss your options with your ob. I'm not sure if c-sections limit your a Ablitiy to have more then 3 kids(really though the Dugger lady had 6 by section and she was trying until menopause..so who knows)

Answer

Each time you have a c sec it increases your risk for complications and infection. So if you can VBAC definitely try.

Answer

Don't get discouraged just yet. You can try for a VBAC next time and even if you have pre eclampsia again, who's to say you can't be successfully induced this time? Every pregnancy is different and you just never know.

IF you do end up requiring more c sections in the future and only get to have 3 kids, that's still 3 more kids than you had before and at least you were blessed with them.

Answer

If you space then out giving your body time to heal, you could probably have another. Try for a vbac though if everything is healthy!

Answer

You'll have to find a doctor willing to do a v-back. They all won't...but my sister had an unexpected c-section with her second. Then with her third she found a doctor willing to do a vaginal delivery and had a healthy baby.

Answer

I haven't heard of limited babies because of a c section. I've had a c section with my first, and will with this one, but my doctor has not once said I could only have 3 kids. I would talk to ur ob. and she will be able to tell you more about it.

Answer

I had a c-section in May 2011 due to water breaking at 32 weeks they induced at 34 my body didn't take it and c-section it was. 2013 I got pregnant again this one came on his due date and was a successful Vbac. It can be a challenge to find a Vbac doctor but it's well worth it!

Answer

A family member of mine has 4 kids and all C-section, it's always possible.

Answer

My sister has had 4 c-sections. She's done now but bit only having 3 is a myth
