Anyone had 4 Ceasareans?

Yes, I know I must be mad but am thinking may want to go for a fourth child in a year or so. Have had 3 Ceasareans so far, for various reasons. First 2 without incident, but third one it took the Dr. 40 mins to get in as there was alot of scar tissue. Nothing was said about me not having another child - but I feel medics do tend to pull a face after 3 ceasareans. Anyone had 4?

I'm sure I've seen a blog recently linked of someone have a HBA4C so 4 ceasareans should be ok. Were you given any advice not to have another? If not, there shouldn't be any reason why you can't. Once you're pregnant, there isn't much that can be done anyway, baby would have to come out somewhere.

If it helps, surgeon took quite some time getting in for DS3 (2nd CS) due to scar tissue - nothing was said about this being a future problem though and am expecting DC4 now.

Well this is why they pull the face
I do know someone who has had four but she had to have a total hysterectomy on the fourth. So no chance of a fifth then?
