Hi ladies,
I know there are a few ladies here who have had 4 c sections so looking for some words of wisdom!
If all goes with with this pregnancy then I'll be having a 4th c section in March 2014.
I've had c sections in:
August 2007
November 2010
October 2011
So last one was 21 months ago - is that enough time to heal?
I got pregnant only 2/3 months after the loss of our son in Nov 2010 and after previously uncomplicated sections during my last one (3rd) they told me that my uterus was very thin - down to my peritoneum (abdo cavity!). Doesn't sound like a rupture though. He said he repaired my uterus and it wasn't impossible to have anymore by he advised a long wait (3 years) and the risk of bleeding is much higher.
Had anyone had placenta accreta?
I think this is what they are concerned about?
I'm do scared to the point I'm worried about progressing with the pregnancy. I don't want any more after this and will be sterilised so if an emergency hysterectomy is on the cards then that's fine. I would rather that than bleed to death!
I've never had any bleeding issues at all do hoping all will be good with careful monitoring throughout the pregnancy.
What gestation did people have their 4th section, I've been told no later than 38 weeks - although they told me that for my 3rd but they left me until 39+2!
Any advice, experiences would be greatly appreciated
