Yes you will, I had 3 c sections and I’m fine.

Each person is different. How your scars heal. Recovery. Anatomy. Pregnancy.
I’ve had 4 csections and my dr said I would be okay to have a 5th… some patients she’s had, she’s told them no more at 2. So, ask your Dr what their opinion is during delivery

I had 4 c-sections. The Dr’s kept telling me with my 4th she needed to be my last because “my body couldn’t keep doing this”. Honestly I don’t know if I could have done another or not but it was planned for her to be my last either way.

I had 3 c-sections. They looked at my scar tissue the 3rd one to see if it was safe again

This is something that varies so widely from person to person based on medical history and how your body heals. Are you interested in all at not having a c section, it may be worth consideration if you are feeling apprehensive

Everyone is different. I had to have my tube’s tied after my 3rd bc my body woukd never handle another one but I know people who have had 4 and 5 c sections with zero complications

I had 3 no problems. I had excellent doctors and they never mentioned i couldn’t have another. I did have my tube’s removed because good Lord pregnancy is roughhhhh on me.

I had 3 C-sections you’ll be fine I had twins and two single C-sections

I had 5 c-sections and everything went great

I had 2 natural and 3 c sections

3 kids, 3 c sections. 7 and 4 years between them

Had 3, after everyone it was easier for me, even had my tubes cut and tied and no problems at all. You will be okay mommy :sunflower:

I had 4 done, Drs took out my scar tissue each time. There are risks but I am sure your Dr has talked with you about them.

Yes…my 1st and 3rd baby were c sections

I know 2 people that had 3 c sections… neither of them had complications. Plus, their last 2 c sections were only 14 and 18 months apart and still all went well all.

I’ve had X4 C- Sections with no problems…

My mom had myself and my brother by c sec. Then had 4 natural births. Then a 3rd c section with my youngest brother.

I think it’s up to your doctor and what you’re comfortable with.

I had 4 c-sections, my mother in law had 6!

My dr said 4 is the most than after that I’d very risky

It depends! I have had 3 c-sections 2 years apart for each. My last one was abit risky with how thin my uterus was. No scan can tell the quality or how your body has healed from the last one (scar tissue)- you have to wait until you get cut open. So you don’t know how much risk you have. I was told I could go for another after this one (so a fourth) but they won’t let me go to term and I would be closely monitored because of the scar tissue from the previous 2 they found when they opened me up for my third.
The more you have the more risk it carries not just to baby but to you. So speak to your health care provider and get the surgery notes after your next C-section to see how bad it was in there

Just had my fourth C-section four months ago and although recovery is a little harder each time, we are perfectly healthy and had no major complications. Congratulations and best of luck! 
Edited to add your body will tell you when you’ve had enough. My body definitely was telling me no more after this one but there’s also people who have done great and have had 5 c sections even.

I just had my 3rd c section and that was the easiest and fastest labor ever!!

I had 5 c-sections in 6 years. No, it isn’t safe. You will be high risk. Each time is easier recovery. Lots of scar tissue. My bladder adhered to my uterus without my docs knowing until performing the last c section. (I was having my tubes tied as well). I died for 1 minute, came back, then died for 5 minutes. It mainly had to do with scar tissue issues/bleeding.

I had 2 c sections, 2 vbacs, and my last baby was a 3rd c section.
Recovery was harder than my 2nd but easier than my 1st. Would have preferred another vbac.

Totally fine! I’m having my 4th and final c-section

I had four total. First two are 16 & 14 now, last two are almost 6 and 4 now.

Just had my 5th C-section 2 weeks ago…everyone is different…the scar tissue is the main thing to worry about

My daughter in law had three and all was fine

I was totally broken when the love of my life left me it was so hard for me almost gave up if not for a friend who directed me to a very good and powerful man magnet who helped me bring back the love of my life and now he treats me with so much love and care I don’t know what problems you are passing through but with what with him if you need his help

my mom had 8 i had 3 . no problems :heart:

Had 3 c sections a hysterectomy( back in the day it was a surgery)and a intestines surgery so 5 in total. No problem with any of them. Let your self heal. Scar tissue is worse if you do too much to soon?

My friend had 6 sections… the doctor advised against it…

I have had 5 c sections! And told I could have another if I wanted …:rofl: but ya I’m good…
Never had any issues at all.
