Has anyone had 4c sections

I am currently pregnant with my fourth child. I have had three c sections all were girls.. Lol, but I know for a fact that my pelvic region is too small for actual birth, has anyone else went through that.

Im just curious if it was safe, anyone was considered high risk. I've also had the gastric bypass so the extra scar tissue could be an issue. I had the full gastric bypass in 2004, and have had two successful pregnancies after, but all three were c sections.

My girlfriend is currently pregnant with #5. 1, 3& 4 were c/s. #5 will be a c/s also.

If I get pregnant again, it will be c/s #4 for me. My Dr said he didn't see a problem with it since when he looked at my uterus the last time, it seemed just fine.

I dont mean to be ugly but its a little late to wonder if a 4th c-section is safe. You are already pregnant so the baby has to come out some how. The number of csections should be determined by your OB based on the about of scar tissue present and the thickness of your uterus.

Back in early nineties my mother was told to stop having kids or else find another doctor (3 Csections).

The OB I had with LO1, also had a patient that was a RCS (3rd or 4th CS) and she removed a bunch of the scar tissue during the last CS then told the mother that she could have more kids if she wanted. Whether or not the doctor was serious and/or the parents followed thru, I cannot say.

I've had 4 c-sections. This last one was by far my easiest - PG, actual c/s and recovery. BUT, I also worked out during this PG and had a personal trainer. My OB told me that I had minimal scarring for someone with that many c-sections. I could have more if I want, but we are done having kids.

This past section (6w ago) was my 4th and I had twins. My OB was prepared for the worst and said it was textbook. Minimal bleeding, very little scar tissue, lots of fluid, very fast and easy. My recovery was the easiest of them by far. I could have more if I want, but we now have a LOT of kids pretty close in age, so we're taking a very long break!

My sister has had 4 csections, and is fine. Not much you can do about it now, anyway!

I've also had 4 c-sections. Mine were all done within 5.5 years. I had my tubes tied with this last birth because my uterine wall was pretty thin, so it was a good choice for us.

I love my OB and trust her completely. Hopefully you feel the same about your OB and can talk with him/her about your fears/worries. Good luck!
