Can You Have Four C Sections

If you had a single layer stitching in previous c section then you must not do a tolac.

Can you have four c sections. No complications with any c sections so far btw. Each repeat c section is generally more complicated than the last. Thinking about going for number 4 but really don t want to be stupid about it.

Women who have multiple c sections are at increased risk of placental problems as well as heavy bleeding which might require surgical removal of the uterus hysterectomy. If you had a c section in the past then it does not mean that the next delivery has to be a cesarean. The more c sections you ve had the greater is your risk of developing problems with the placenta such as the placenta implanting too deeply into the uterine wall placenta accreta or the placenta partially or completely.

I had four c sections myself. Lots of people tell me there are more risks after 3 c sections but anyone know more about this. However every time going for cesarean delivery it may involve more complications and risks than the previous delivery.

Many doctors limit how many c sections their patients have or women stop having babies after two or three. Most people have one or two c sections. If you are on facebook take a look at the group c section support uk lots of stories on there from people who have had more than 3 c sections including some with complications.

However research hasn t established the exact number of repeat c sections considered safe. Had 3 c sections already 2 emergencies 1 elective. If you have had 3 c sections previously then think well before vbac.

I am due to have my 3rd in november and the group has been great for info. Health risks increase with each subsequent cesarean yet some women are able to have six or more without complication. However once you have four c sections the chances of the condition increase to 2 percent and if you have six c sections the chances are 6 percent.
