Multiple c-sections

Has any mums had more than 3 c-sections? Some people say you shouldn't? Was there any complications and do the ceaser in the same scar? Thanks heaps!

I know someone who had 5. It's not ideal, you should definitely discuss with your dr as each persons situations are very different. My sister had 2 and OBGYN said no more babies as too dangerous for her specific circumstances.

After my 3rd I was told no more then a very big suprise started growing have a dr that is great and it getting me through this one to then tie my tubes your risk factor increases but if a dr as not told you no more then obviously your body is coping well

My sister had 3 then accidentally got pregnant with 4th child,they were forced to do c-section and she had many complications, it took her an overwhelming time to recovery and her scar and tummy is a mess to be honest. It usually depends on the individual though and how well your doing after 3. I would say though your doc would surely advise against having another child or trying to deliver naturally if possible.

I've had 3 c-sections, it's not recommended you go over 3 and I personally won't.
I know someone that has had 5 with no complications, it depends on your overall health. Yes they cut in the same place every time, I'm guessing this is why it's so dangerous to have too many. I had my 3rd at 22 and was told I had a paper thin uterus= no more baby's for me.
I'd advice discussing it with a g.p and running some tests before you consider trying to conceive, if you push it top far the consequences can be quite drastic. Best of luck.
