Has anyone had two or more c-sections?

[Barefootcontessa84]

I have been told I'll likely need a c-section, and in order to explore all my options (and perhaps fight my corner a bit) I'm trying to understand the risks.

This is my first baby, but would hope to have perhaps one or two more. I have read that the risks of c-section rise with each additional one - I know there's the possibility of VBAC, but considering c-section is likely indicated now, I don't see this changing for subsequent births.

So I guess I'm asking if anyone has had two or more sections, and how that went? Do the risks really sharply increase each time, and did you have any complications during pregnancy as a result of a previous section?

Many thanks!

Thanks for this thread Barefoot, I had an EMCS a year ago and think it's very likely I'll end up with another CS if we have another DC due to health issues I've had since DS, so this thread has really helped. Good luck with everything, and don't worry too much about being awake while cut open, I was terrified of this but the medical team were so calm and reassuring, the anaesthetist was beyond lovely, he talked DH and I through the whole process and chatted to me about day to day stuff to distract me from worrying, and I really couldn't feel a thing (which was heaven after 3 days of contractions and pain)!

Ps the health issues were nothing to do with the CS by the way xx
