Just wondering. I had an "elective" cs with my first baby as she was coming feetfirst. Elective implies I had some choice although it didn't feel like it at the time! Since then I've had 2 pgs complicated by placenta praevia and thin scar tissue.
NICE / the NHS publish a booklet called Caesarean section: Information for the public. The appendix (p46) lists all the things that may result from having had a cs. Like, increased risk of having no more children. And placenta praevia and a whole host of other stuff.
It annoys me (still) that none of this was mentioned to me. I knew there were immediate risks to having a cs and considered them but I didn't think of my future children.
Sorry this is turning into an essay. Obviously if you're having an emergency there is no point discussing the consequences of cs.
