pregnancy ?

Question

I have had 3 c-sections (2002,2004&2005)and I think that I may be pregnant again Is it going to be dangerous to have a 4th c-section?What are the risks?

I didn't opt for the c-sections my pelvis is too narrow for the babys head to pass through.

Answer 1

As long as you keep getting pregnant they will keep taking the baby out.

The risks are greater after you've had multiple sections because the uterus builds scar tissue along the incision line, and that can cause issues with the pregnancy, or delivery. But its not overly common.

Ive known of many women who have huuuuge families, 6 kids or more, who had c sections for all.

Our bodies are amazingly adaptable. Your doctor will be able to monitor you when and if you need it.

Worse case scenario you have to be on bed rest, or get corrective surgery after.

Just talk with your doctor.

Answer 2

It is reccommended that a woman only have 3 c-sections but One encouraging fact was that Ethel Kennedy had all of her 11 children by Caesarean.

You will have to talk to your doctor about this. Good luck!

Answer 3

I dont know I had to have a c-section with my daughter because they said my bones were too small for her to fit through and they told me I would have to have one with every child but they didnt tell me how many I could have. Ask your doctor they can tell you.
