Ive had 1vb & 1cs, am preg now and will have c/s again my favourite birth by a country mile!
If I had a dollar for everytime someone told me Im only allowed 3 c/s I would be rich. thinking cos its my 3rd child I suddently have to have my tubes tied with my net c/s HELL NO! Everyone has told me about the limit of 3 except the GP / OB / MW of course saw a fewe mums around the forum have had 4 or 5 one of my friends had c/s, hosp vb, home vb, c/s in that order for her 4 kidies. |

I chose to get tubes tied at #3's birth, but was nothing to do with # of c-sections. The obstetrician I saw said that while the risks increase after 3 c-sections, all c-sections carry risks so the added risk is minimal. ------------- Brandon - 05/12/2003

| I've had 5 c-sects- emergency after 16hrs labour Sept 01, crash after 28hrs labour Jan 04, elective Nov 05 (though I went into labour the morning of), elective Aug 08, & an elective Nov 10 (started having contractions while waiting to go into theatre). My OB said he's done up to 10 (!) for one person. |

I've had 3, and had my tubes tied during the last one......not because of # of c-sections but # of kids!! 4 kids under 3.7yrs is enough for us. I don't know anyone personally who has had more, but have heard of women having 5-6 c-sections. ------------- http://alterna-tickers.com">

i've had 2 so far, but will have 3 when and if we can have another. My OB said she had done a ladies 6th c section. So it depends on the person how well you heal and if there were any issues e.t.c -------------

I have had two also. A friend who is a midwife & had 5 c/s informed me the record is a whopping 12 for one mum.. ------------- Mum to two very active boys, born October 2008 and December 2010.

| I've had 3. My specialist and I agreed to decide one at a time after each one (first emergency, second two elective after independent advice from 2 specialists). They reckon I could have one more. Will see how we go!!!! |

I've just found out I'm expecting my sixth. And my old brilliant OB has retired. Feeling a bit lost! |
