to try for another baby?

[seaglass]

Not sure if this is the right place to put this.

Dh and I really want another baby - various life events have made us really think about what we want, and for the first time (after 3 dc's) he is as sure about this as me.

However, I was talking to a midwife friend the other day, and because I have already had 3 C/S, I would definately have to have another.

She told me that a consultant would try to put me off, as they would consider it potentially risky.

From her point of view, I've had 3 uncomplicated C/S's, and there is no reason why another would be any more complicated.

She also said that where she works, a very high percentage of mothers to be and new mothers are young girls, who are out of their depth, so also from her point of view, as we have a very stable home-life, if this is something we want to do, we should just go ahead.

What would you do?
Has anyone had experience of 4 C/S
and AIBU?

There was a MNetter in the past who had had several cs IIRR. Try searching fr her posts. Think she was called zipper or something similar and related.

Yanbu. I would do it.

Drs get very jumpy about more than 3 c/s. But I do know 2 women that have had 4 c/s - the problem is increased risk of uterine rupture, but neither of the one's I know had any complications at all (and one had a child every 2 years, as she and her DH wanted them all close in age).
