Has anyone had over 5 c sections?

Question

Hi I found out Friday that I'm pregnant with my 6th baby and all my others was born by either emergency c section or a c section. I am a bit anxious over it as my last one which was 10 months ago afterwards the recovery took a while. Thanks

Answer

My doctor told me with my last baby he would be comfortable doing one maybe 2 more csections after i had her. I am pregnant with my 5th and will have one in dec/Jan  and I have seen other women on here that has had 6 or 7 so I know its possible.  But I have heard alot of women say you can't have more then 2 or 3 but its really up to your doctor and you. Best of luck!

Answer

I have had 4. This will be my 5th.

Answer

Ya I am wondering what your doctor says. Usually it kind of depends on how you healed from your last. A doctor at one point told me for some people it starts to get a bit hairy with 3... but at the same time she just did someone’s 5th and they were just fine.  I’d encourage you to have a good convo with your doctor!

Answer

I don't personally have experience with c-sections, but my best friend has had 4. I know her doctor wanted her to wait until her #3 was 18 months before she got pregnant with her 4th. From what I've learned from her, it gets muddier each time they do one. I'm sure you're not the first, though! They'll just have to figure it out with you.
