DH and I have two wonderful kiddos already. However, I am experiencing massive baby fever and desperately want to consider having a third. With my first two I had to have C-sections. The first for high blood pressure due to stress. The second because I failed to progress after my water had broken and I labored with Pitocin for 15hrs. So I obviously feel that I will be forced into a third C-section. I am just concerned to have surgery again. First I am scared to death of needles and I hate having one put into my back. Second I just don't want anything to go wrong. The facility I would be birthing at is set up for emergency deliveries and NICU situations so I feel like the baby would be okay. I guess I am just nervous about the idea I guess.
Basically, I was just wondering if anyone had gone through a similar experience of fear and/or have had multiple successful C-sections. I totally realize that everyone is different I just want some feed back, even open to horror stories to have an all around pool of info. Thanks.
Re: Concern
After DD he just said to wait at least 18months and that we should be good. Also, the doctor was all for me trying to have a VBAC with the second pregnancy so I feel like he'd be supportive if I wanted to try. Like I said the hospital is set up to handle VBACs so I could cross my fingers on that. After my first, with a different doctor, they limited me to five max C-sections, which was understandable and I completely realize that a third is not like a fifth. I think maybe it's just nerves getting to me. I've never been a fan of surgeries.
Thanks for the advice ladies.
I like the idea of sending the older two on a mini-vacation. They love going to grandmas' anyway.

You've been through 2. You can rock 3!
Do you have a spinal or epidural? Change facilities where you give birth to ease your mind.
If you want another baby- don't let those things stop you. Good luck mama!
