Re: This may not be the right board for me but maybe someone out there can help!
Hi Melissa
I have had 2 c-sections and am pregnant with my 3rd and will have a
repeat c-section with this one as well. I can't think of anyone I
know that has had 4 c-sections. I would continue to ask your doctor
about it and maybe even get a 2nd opinion from another doctor. I
remember reading that they used to tell women they should only have
3 c-sections, but that today that is changing. Be sure to let us
know what you find out. I am so sorry for your miscarriages -- that
must have been so difficult for you.
best wishes,
Michelle B.
