How many c section's can you have?

Answer 1

As many times as you can handle the pain, they are cutting through muscle, creating a lot of scar tissue, it would be difficult to continue to repeat the process, but it's do-able..

It really depends person to person, take into consideration how many you have had, how many children you have had, and how necessary it is.

Answer 2

Yes, you can.

But it is not generally considered safe. A uterus with that much scarring is much more likely to rupture either before or during labor. Uterine rupture could cause death or disability of the fetus and mother. This should be discussed with your obstetrician.

Answer 3

Yes, you can have more than 4 c-sections. I've had five myself. I know women who've had 6, 7, 9, and 11 respectively. Just because it is possible does not mean that it is recommended. Your risks of serious complications go up with each c-section. If you decide to have multiple c-sections, make sure you do your research and know the risks to you and your baby. Best wishes! SKD

Answer 4

In theory, you can, but it is highly recommended not to.

Performing surgery in an area that has been operated on before, is always harder (bleeding, scar tissue, disrupted anatomy,...), and goes with more complications. for a caesarean, I think the greatest risk will be ruptur of the uterus (though I'm no gynaecologist!).

In general, you are recommended not to have 3 caesareans. Each case must be considered individual though, so you should discuss this matter with your gynaecologist.
