how many c-sections are safe?!
Question: I have 4 children and want two more is it safe
Answers:
The major complications related to cesarean deliveries are infection, hemorrhage, injury to pelvic organs, and thromboembolic disorders.
There is increasing evidence that cesarean delivery increases the risk of abnormal placentation (placenta previa) in future pregnancies.
In women with at least one prior cesarean delivery, the risk of development of placenta previa in a subsequent pregnancy was two to three times higher than at baseline, and the risk increased with the number of prior cesarean births
Placental abruption is another example of a placental abnormality that occurs more often in women with a prior cesarean birth.
Overall, there are insufficient data on which to base recommendations for the maximum "safe" number of cesarean deliveries.

think they recommend 2-3 at the most.
If you want to have more children thats fine. However I had g/f that had three boys C- section and then mine came along. Once you have C-section its CONTRAINDICATED to attempt to give birth vaginally. You run the risk of rupturing uterus.
I think you can safely have 3 c-sections.but my mom had 5. Talk with your dr to see what their opinion is.you wouldnt want to get pregnant only to lose the baby.
