Anyone had 4 c-sections?

I was wondering if anyone out there can tell me about their experience of having 4 caesareans. I've now totted up 3 (2 emergencies, 1 planned). After number 3 the surgeon said although he would not advise me to go for number 4, there are people who do. I know the risks are greater each time, and haven't decided if I'm up for it or not. DH and I would both like another baby and I'd love to hear about any personal experiences of this.

A colleague of mine has had four. She says her body is 'shot to pieces'.

During my last cs (no.3) the surgeon said that the scarring on my uterus is so minimal I could easily have another 6 if I wanted to!

I see exactly where you're coming from.

Good to know when you're done anyway. I don't want to be greedy but now my dd3 is a tantruming toddler I do wonder about doing it all again (just one last one....)
