How many csections have you had?

Question

I had my second In June and I chose not to get my tubes tied just in case I wanted another baby. Now, I’m starting to think that I do want maybe 2 more but having 4 csections scares me😅 just trying to see how common this many csections could be! And yes, I know about VBACS and am not a good candidate as I have shown no progression in either of my pregnancies. First csection was due to breech positioning.

Answer

My mom has four kids. Her first was a C section, her second was vaginally (72 hour labor too!) and the last two were C sections. After having four kids she was done LOL I can’t remember if her tubes were tied or not but she was tired of chasing kids around so she stopped after four. 
How was your experience with a C section? I plan to have more children and my first baby was vaginally so I have no clue what’s it’s like to have a c section but if I need to have one I’d like to know what it’s like.

Answer

I’ve had two with no issues. Apparently I heal incredibly well (according to multiple physios and my obstetrician) and without the external scar they would have have been able to tell. 
My obstetrician says I’m one of those people who could have four c-sections with no issues. I don’t think I want four children but a third would be nice and that would also be via c-section.
I think it largely depends on the individual and how their body handles the healing process.

Answer

I haven't had any, but my mom had 4. I believe your dr can advise after a c section on whether another is too risky or not. After her 4th my mom was told her incision line was becoming too thin. My friends dad is a surgeon and has had people come in for their 6th or 7th against medical advice and, sparing you the gritty details, it is very dangerous. But it is different for everyone depending on how your body deals with the scarring.
