4 c sections?

Question

Any experience with 3+ c sections?
I just had my third baby and 3rd c section 4 months ago. All normal pregnancies and uncomplicated sections. During my 3rd my doctor said he feels confident that I can have another just that I need to wait at least 18 months before getting pregnant again. But the risks freak me out so bad. I feel selfish for wanting 1 more baby when I have 3 perfect and healthy children. I’d never want to risk mine or a babies life but can’t shake that we have 1 more baby in a few years. Does anyone have any experience with 3+ sections good or bad?

Answer

Welp! Just found out preg with 4th. This will be my 4th and final!! My ob told me i had no adhesions or scarring and healed very well and could have a 4th safely. I trust that… and pray for the safest and healthiest pregnancy and delivery!

Answer

My mom had 9 live births. She had 4 vaginal and 5 c sections (she lost a baby after the 9th child:so the 10th baby was a little boy and then they tied her tubes).

Answer

The best person to assess your risk of a 4th CS is your OB. Yes, the risks go up, but it's very reassuring that your OB has given the green light.
If you’re on Facebook, there’s an evidence based VBAC group that also has MANY stories of women having multiple CS. You may find more information there (not for VBAC, but for CS).
