What's the alternative? They can't force terminations and there aren't any other safe routes for delivering the baby. It's a myth that you can only have 3 c/s, although each one carries higher risks.

It's not recommended. But definitely allowed. What else would they do? Refuse medical care for a pregnant woman? Automatically sterilise you after your 3rd C-section?

I had 5. At my fifth the consultant obstetrician said I could have a sixth baby ...I didn't 🙂

@AxolotlEars how did it go?

It was fine. No complications. My recovery was swift. I think you know the score by number 5!

The hardest section was number 3. I lost a fair bit of blood and it had taken an unusually long time.
