Multiple CS or 2xCS followed by VBAC?

Have you had 2 C-sections followed by a successful VBAC? Or have you had more than 3 CS's? Please share your experience!

It's looking more likely I'll have to have another section for DC2, but concerned as DH & I want to have 3 children (DC1 passed away on day 2 of life). I know that hospitals don't like to do any more c-sections after 3 have been done and advise to not have any more children due to scarring.

I’ve just had by third baby by CS and my consultant didn’t rule out us having a 4th. She didn’t want me to vbac but the risk of uterine rupture and because of my medical needs. The recovery has been a lot harder this time. My lo are 19months and 2 weeks (my First also isn’t with us), and I’m still struggling with mobility at times.

Also I overheard a woman in the opposite bay to me in hospital having 6 by CS!!

😵 6! @KissyThief thank you for sharing your experience with me, I suppose I may change my mind with time and experience! It really helps to hear that though. Sorry you had to go through similar with your first Thanks

No experience OP but a friend of mine has had four CS with no issues. I'm really sorry for your loss.
