I recently had a Caesar and my ob. gyn. said that after the 3rd Caesar the chances of the placenta attaching to the scar (I think the problem then is placenta previa) increases significantly. Having said that, I have since met many woman who have successfully had 4 or more.
There is some research to suggest that if you wait nine months, that is, there would be 18 months between deliveries, that this results in a lower rate of uterine rupture.
yes
C sections / total deliveries x 100 = C section rate.
No. You can get pregnant after a C-section
As soon as you release another egg, which is different for everyone. For some it can take just a few weeks, yet for others it can take almost a year. If you are breast-feeding it can delay the return of ovulation for some time. While you can get pregnant any point after your c-section, doctors recommend some time in between to allow your c-section to heal. If you want to have a vaginal birth after c-section (vbac) you should have at least 18 months between deliveries.
Most medical research recommends at least 18 months in between deliveries if you would like to have a vaginal birth. This gives your scar a chance to heal

That is a question you should be asking your doctor as all women heal at a different pace. Be sure your body has had a chance to build-up before becoming pregnant. Good luck Marcy As soon as your dr clears you to resume normal activities. Of course then it will be nine months later...but you may have to have a c- section again.

A C-section is called "cesarean" because it comes from the Latin word "caedo" which means "to cut". It has nothing at all to do with Julius Caesar. Because of the similarity of the words, many people have the false impression that the operations was named after Caesar because he was born that way. This is completely false. In the ancient world, a cesarean operation was performed on an already dead mother in order to save the baby or in some dire complication of the delivery. The mother always died afterwards. Caesar's mother lived a long life after she had all her children, so no C-section for her.
No
Also called c-sections or cesarean deliveries.
Usually, it's no more than 5 consecutive days.
