Tori Spelling's Birth Complications

I've been interested in the ordeal Tori Spelling has been going through following the birth of her fourth child in under five years. Anybody else curious about it?
Prior to my elective c/s, my doctor said to be (verbatum), "This is your birth and I want you to have the birth you will feel the best about. I will do a c/s but only if you can make me two promises: 1. If you are ______(she named two religions known for having large families) I must insist you try a vaginal birth. Any more than three or four c/s is simply not healthy and against sound judgement. 2. You must wait 18 months between pregnancies to give your body adequate time to heal. I'm not comfortable with you pushing the time boundaries because even when all is well on the outside, your body needs time on the inside." I was not a member of either faith and I didn't want kids close in age so she went ahead.
Now, Tori's fourth baby was a surprise but her other three were intentionally rapid fire. She seems pretty open about a lot of stuff so I hope she comes forward with what was ailing her (not that she is obligated, by any means, but maybe as a way of helping others.) I am glad she is out of the hospital and able to enjoy her newborn now-must've been traumatizing for all involved for her to be separated from him!

This.
And OP if you don't mind me asking why did you elect for a c/s?
Tori went into labor naturally with Liam (her first), but they augmented it with Pit and she had failure to progress -- his heartrate was dropping and she never progressed passed 6 cm. Docs suggested a c/s and as such she started the c/s spiral.
I totally don't understand this one... What, Ee?
I had another doctor tell me basically the same thing about waiting. I had an elected c/s the first time but have vague curiosities about a VBAC for the next time around.
HAAAA! Sure go right ahead and guess. I'll play along (for what it's worth, she didn't mean it in a deragatory way towards those religions, just that since they enjoy large families, she didn't feel it prudent to subject my body to THAT MANY c/ss. Lol.)
What I meant was why put her body through three back to back c-sections that could have potentionally caused major complications with not just her, but with also her children? There has been many cases of ruptured uteruses/placenta and blood loss deaths, etc from back to back c-sections caused by no 18 month waiting period between them. So-- if she wanted three kids that close in age, why not have one biologically, then adopt, then have another biologically when her body has healed?
DING! DING! DING!
