Hi mums I really need some advise I have 3 kids all via csection and I was told after my last that I shouldn't have anymore due to my uterus being very thin... I also have endometrial thinking in my uterus and have been told my best option is a hysterectomy which I was fine with but now I have started thinking maybe I want one more has anyone else been told they have a thin uterus and not to have more? Have they? How was the pregnancy? My partner really wants another one what do I do?????

I had an ultrasound done a few months after my second baby was born (2nd c section too) because of other factors and the sonographer asked if we were planning on more kids because my uterus was measuring only 3mm thick. She suggested no more kids. I was devasted and when I saw my doctor about it they referred me to a specialist and further testing. Whilst it was found to be thin the specialist said as long as I have normal periods it should be fine to get pregnant again. They did mention that sometimes a stitch can be put in to help strengthen the uterus if there was bleeding between indicating a problem. My suggestion would be before trying to have another one, investigate it further. Whilst it would be great for you to have another one you don't want to risk both your and the baby's wellbeing. I am currently 26 weeks pregnant and at every ultrasound I've had my uterus has been fine. The only thing they are doing is a 36-37 week delivery to help prevent too much stretching and risk of labour and rupture. Good luck xx
It quite risky to have another child after 3 c section for yourself and bub due the the excessive scar tissue and associated risk with that and the thining of you uterus. Most obgyn dont like doing a 3rd c section but tolerate it. What do you want? Does he understand why you have been told not to have another one? Personally if I had been told not to have anymore but still wanted another one I would explore the option of a surrogate
I don't think surrogacy is legal in Australia, except for Tasmania.
My youngest is 19 months old I'm not looking at trying right now I am just scared that I am not ready to stop I love my kids more then anything they are my life and being told a hysterectomy is what I need to stop the pains I have had for 7 years has got me thinking about 1 more I have 3 kids as I said before 2 are with my ex and my partner only has the 1 although he treats them all the same and loves them all I know he is longing for another aswell I just don't know really
My mum had 4 kids via c/sec and 1 naturally. Seek another opinion.
