3 I thought is advised but people do have more x

My OB told me 3 is the safe/ what is advised. But I know of someone who had 5. So I’m not really sure. There’s just more of a risk the more csections you have.

My ob told me 4 was advised now but there are women that have more xx

I don't know I can't remember what my consultant said but I'm having my 4th at the end of November x

3

Also been told 3 is advised. Obviously if you're pregnant and need another they're not gonna turn you away.

Everyone is different and has different factors that determine that number like how well you’ve healed, your age, your weight, your medical history. My aunt had 5 without any issues. I’ve been told I have so little internal scar tissue my sonographer couldn’t even tell I’d had a section.

My mother in law had 4. I think it depends on the scare tissue you have if it’s safe or not to have another after you’ve had a few already

It’s advised no more than 3 but they can’t really stop you if you get pregnant. I know someone who has had 5. I think it’s just the risk of more scar tissue and more complications the more you have

3 and you can be cut horizontally. After 3 you'll need a vertical cut as there would be too much scar tissue xx

My OB told me if I think I might want more than 3 children, then I should probably try for VBAC next time. But she also said that she had 6 csections with no complications

I know someone that's had 4

@Nikita I've had 4 xx

@Lauren this isn't always true I've had 4 and all vertical on the same scar line xx

@Kirsty I was just relaying what my consultant told me at our hospital xx

In the last 5 years I’ve had 4 c sections. Not advised to do them so close together but all have been safe and fine. No more for me though.

Every one puts you at higher risk

@Lauren yeah I was only saying hun that it's not always true xx
