Anyone have 4+ c-sections?

HarrietNJMommy

I'm going to have my 4th c-section around October 1...........I only know people like me, who have had 3 c-sections. I don't know anyone that has had 4........

If you have, was it harder with your 4th (or more) vs. the others?

Thanks!

I personally have not had 4 c-sections, but this was one of my biggest concerns when it came to having children after my DD birth which ended in an emergency c-section. DH and I have always dreamed of having 4 kids. I struggled with it for a long time because of this on whether to try a VBAC or go with my doctor's recomendations and have repeat c-sections. After some discussion with my Aunt, DH's Aunt who is a L and D  nurse and a co-worker I decided to go with the c-sections.

Both my Aunt and my co-worker had 4 c-sections no problem.

I will be having my 3rd c-section with this baby and also worry about the same thing.  We always wanted 5 kids which would mean I would have 4 c-sections.....I have heard of women doing it but I do not know anyone who has.  It is nice hearing positive stories of multiple c-sections.

Well, I'll let you guys know how it goes! LOL!

I'm pretty sure Michelle Duggar has had 4.

Google told me this, and she had another c/s with #19, a preemie born in Dec 2009.

Michelle Duggar has had three C-sections. The first was with twins Jana and John-David on January 12, 1990. The second was with Jackson on May 23, 2004. The third was with Jordyn-Grace on December 18, 2008.

I was hoping to find someone on here that had 4 in a row. I actually don't know anyone IRL that has had more than 3 in a row.

My cousin has had 4 c-sections in the span of 7 years.  She said the 4th was just like the first, except she had to juggle 4 kiddos instead of just one! Recovery time, milk coming in, and 6 week checkup were all the same.  GL!

Thanks! I hope I'm like that too! My 4th c-section will be just under the 7 year span, just like your cousin........

I'll be having my 8th c-section in August.  I found that they actually got easier-the recovery took a little longer for me to regain my strength (I am not getting any younger!!) but the healing etc. went well. I didn't hurt as much after and could move around easier with each one!
