Do I have a 3rd c-section?

Hi
I’ve had two beautiful babies both via c section and we are thinking about baby number 3 which would also be a c section. I’m nervous about having a 3rd section and don’t know whether to go ahead and have another baby or not. Has anyone been in the same situation and got any advice or reassuring words?

Thanks!

I’ve had 3 c sections. The 3rd was the easiest as it was planned. The others were emergency ones. One huge tip from me - do all the core exercises that you can afterwards, obviously when you’re ready to. My core is so weak now because I didn’t.

Hi, I've had 1 natural birth then 2 category 1 EMCS (1 for very low heart rate, 1 for placental abruption). I'm planning to have another baby soon but I want a VBAC rather than another C-section. Obviously another EMCS is a possibility though, which doesn't put me off having another child.
