3 C-Sections. Stories please!

[lyd4165]

Hi, I am due to have a third caesarean and I am so worried that after 2 successful ones something will go wrong. I keep hearing horror stories about multiple caesareans and I am wondering if anyone has any real life experience of 3 or more and could calm me down a tad! Thanks in advance!

I've had 4. All very straightforward. If anything, I healed quicker after 3 & 4 as I was more prepared and knew what I could and couldn't do whilst recovering.

I have had 4 c-sections. First one was an emergency and due to complications my following 3 were delivered by c-section.

My third C-section was my best, really relaxed, I knew what was happening and honestly such an amazing experience.

My fourth was a little more complicated due to scarring and was during the peak of COVID restrictions but again was very relaxed and positive.

3 sections in 4 years, first two were emergency and third was planned. Recovery good from all but the planned third one was calm and best recovery even though was only 18 months after second.

You'll be fine, best of luck
