Would you have another baby?

Not sure where to post this? But any feed back would be appreciated.

I think I want another baby but am a bit scared! It would be my 3rd if I was lucky enough to get pregnant but with 1st DD I had a difficult birth and 3rd degree tear and 2nd DD easy lovely birth but still another 3rd degree tear, both were natural deliveries. Since 2nd DD I have ruptured a disc in my lower back and suffer with on off pain and sciatic pain in my left leg I am told my back problems are as a result of poor core strength following 2 pregnancies fairly close together. I have also been advised (by the doc who stitched me up 2nd time round) that it would be wise to have a c section if I were to have another child. The risks on my back if I were to have a section would probably increase as a section would affect my core strength, as would another pregnancy. So I just don't know, basically my heart is desperate to have another baby but my head says no! My husband is fairly supportive either way although his heart doesn't say have another baby but he'd go with it if I really wanted to!

Anyone's experiences would be greatly appreciated.

My SIL is a children's yoga teacher, and she had really good core strength. She had a baby 4 months ago by emergency CS, and is still very weak. She struggles to do even 'half' sittups, and can't lift anything remotely heavy. She complains all the time about lack of core strength. Personally I wouldn't have another, but I know the desire for a baby is very strong, and damn the consequences. It's going to be a hard decision to make.
