as just wondering? (as ive already had 1) and als if you had a single baby @ first birth is 1st c-section, twins is 2nd c-section and you cant have anymore? or can you another single after the twins which that be 3rd c-section?

does that make sense?

as im not sure if one of my friend was going over the top about a woman had 7 c-sections???? as i know you can have up to 4 but its very risky and why is it risky and is it up to me or the docs?

thanks

doesnt matter how many baies were delivered at the time, it still counts as one op, i think you would be allowed one more c-section, they dont like you having more than 3.

I have had 3 and always heard that the limit was 3 but have since 'spoken' to women who have had more than that. I would have no qualms about having a 4th section at all.

Lisalisa on here has had 4 and will behaving a 5th soon i think.

I've had 2 scetions and have no desire to have any more!
I was told that any future babies would have to be delivered by c-section but wasn't told how many were allowed.

It isn't a case of 'allowed' so much as 'advised'. They don't advise that you have more than 3 C sections because of increased risk of complications with each section. However no one is going to say, 'Though, just die then', if you need a 4, 5th or 6th IYSWIM.

It does depend on the nature of your scarring. For example my surgion said that my first scar was very thin when I had my second and he was happy that I wasn't planning any further pgs.

My obGyn told me there is a greater risk of a low-lying placenta, the more Cs's you have. I've had 3 CS's and placenta praevia on ds3.

I have had three cs will have a fourth in December and my consultant said that the most he has done so far is 6. The is no reason why someone couldnt have 7.
